   Presumably when Chromium adds the change that destroys UBlock Origin, it will be broken on all Chromium forks. I don't see how it wouldn't, unless they added code back in on top of Chromium to support the API they're removing

   The BAT sh*tcoin stuff turned me off to Brave. I've been using Dissenter which removed all of that (and more crud) from Brave, but it doesn't seem to update very often. I like the every 6 week cadence that Edge is promising.

   Same as Safari. If any part of it is closed source, you're basically just taking their word for it that they're respecting your privacy. Firefox is fully open source.

   Who is the target market for this? Is this going to be the default browser in the next feature update version of Windows 10?

   Because not only is it not free, but it also has an annual license to use it.

   Send.firefox.com sends files over the internet, not peer-to-peer. If you're somewhere with poor (or no) network connectivity you can still use Google Files or AirDrop (I believe, not 100% sure on AirDrop).

   Yep, Apple's market share is around 11%, so only 89%(ish) of smartphones. Not 100%, and doesn't include desktops / laptops / etc. Still, about 8x better than AirDrop!

   https://files.google.com/ is a standard and it works on the vast majority of phone sold this year, by every manufacturer except Apple. Checks all 3 of peer-to-peer, secure, no MiTM network blockage. It's only 11MB. Ma

   As Daily Stormer and 8chan have shown, CloudFlare has very few competitors and seemingly none that don't censor. 8chan jumped ship to BitMitigate when CloudFlare dropped them, and then BitMitigate dumped them when they had their backbo

    I had that same experience. Google Maps is already on your phone for navigation and I've found that it's ratings & reviews to be more reliable than Yelps.

    Sounds like BitTorrent DHT, but for DNS. Is that the right take?

    Yeah, taking down 8chan will certainly get the word out about ZeroNet (and similar) at least.

    Apple is going to be forced to allow other app stores onto their phone like Android does (although Android did it without any laws forcing them to).

    If this works, it won't actually stop strong e2e encryption, it'll just make people download their strong e2e encryption communication apps from non-mass-surveillance states. This isn't p*rnhub. You can't backdoor every

    I think most people would agree that "stop burning fossil fuels" is a utopian idea that doesn't actually work in practice. You're not going to get people to give up on it (at least near term) so you need to focus on sol

    Agreed! "Reforest rural areas with fast-growing plants native to that region" seems like a MUCH safer idea than "YOLO, HEMP ALL THE THINGS!" We have no idea how regions in the world that don't have hemp would react

    I really wish the "Yay, linux on the desktop" crowd would rally around ChromeOS. ChromeOS is literally what the "linux on the desktop" crowd has been wanted for decades now.
