HauntedBucket , in Firefox + Ublock = 👑

I am specifically waiting for this to happen so I can be part of the flood to Firefox when they finally throw the switch.

cRazi_man , (edited )

Why wait?

Also, Brave browser exists for those who are particularly attached to chromium.

HauntedBucket ,

I’m not touching brave with a 10 ft pole but thanks for your advertisement

Lemmy always seems to hate Brave but no one ever says why

majestictechie OP ,
  • shady issues in the past from company
  • heavily integrated with crypto (controversial for some)
  • CEO is a transphobe
  • it’s still Chrome under the hood
ivn ,
  • CEO is also homophobic and a covid skeptic
  • the browser used to modify crypto exchange URLs to add it’s affiliate code to it
  • it used to collect donations for content creators without their consent

Why people always forget the simple:

Switching Google to Brave is not an upgrade is a sidegrade.

Firefox is

  1. Dependant on Google’s ad revenue
  2. Joining the advertising market themselves
ZeroHora , (edited )
@ZeroHora@lemmy.ml avatar
  1. Dependant on Google’s money, the majority of Google comes from ads but not all of them. The deal is not directly with ads, is the default search engine on Firefox.
  2. This is recently, sucks a lot but we did not see yet how they’ll use that with the browser.

More importantly the biggest difference is Brave want to be like Google, is the goal of the company. Mozilla is funding the project in the shittiest way possible but is not the end goal.

yrmitz ,

So you are sure that Google and Mozilla doesn’t employ any homophobics? They obviously have some sort of mind reader?

ivn ,

You are right, I should have been more specific. He’s openly homophobic. I’m also pretty sure that’s not the case for Mozilla as he was Mozilla’s CEO and was pushed out over this specific thing.

I don’t know why you are shifting from CEO to employees.

tdawg ,

Ah ya I didn’t know about them being transphobic. That’s a shame

frankgrimeszz ,

My personal reason, I looked at their code and it was amateur town. Hacked together trash. There’s a proper way to modify Chromium and they didn’t follow any of it. In contrast, Vivaldi’s coders knew what they were doing. I don’t actively use or support Chrome, but if you’re going to do something, do it right.

ivn ,

I don’t know, I’ve seen answers to this so many times on Lemmy.

wreckedcarzz ,
@wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world avatar

I’ve seen this answered so many times it’d make your head spin, looney-toons style. If you don’t know then you haven’t been paying any attention.

cRazi_man ,

I’m just learning about what all the fuss around Brave is. But I’d be interested to hear how Google seems to be the ethical choice for a daily driver browser currently. It’s obviously fine to not want to use Brave, but how is it the inferior choice when compared to Chrome (or even considered a sidegrade)? Even with all the issues mentioned I’d still recommend it as the lesser of the 2 evils compared to Chrome.

ivn ,

No one is saying Chrome is the ethical choice, why are you reducing this to a 2 options choice?

cRazi_man ,

why are you reducing this to a 2 options choice?

I’m not.

No one is saying Chrome is the ethical choice

The commenter I’m replaying to implies they’re using Chrome primarily, and then reacted negatively to the mention of Brave. I’m asking how Chrome use is the acceptable choice and Brave is seemingly so bad in comparison.

ivn ,

I don’t think the commenter you are replying to is arguing that chrome is a better choice. He or she knows it’s bad but didn’t make the change out of lazyness (no offence). Change has a cost, especially if it implies changing habits. So people will just delay or avoid them.

KillingTimeItself ,

obviously, but when you have the option of just, not using chrome at all, why would you use anything chromium based to begin with, google is literally the problem here lmao

Sustolic ,

Brave is a great browser and the only chromium one I would ever use but mentioning it on Reddit OR Lemmy will cause you to get mass downvoted unfortunately

The browser lets you customize the dashboard so you can make the browser look as clean or minimal as you want with almost no distractions

Biggest issue I have with Firefox is that some websites can be broken but 99.9% of the time this is not Firefox’s fault and the only one to blame is lazy developer’s

Firefox out of the box doesn’t come with specific features that the websites that I use need which is why I haven’t made the switch yet, biggest one is that Firefox doesn’t work with Keychron’s in browser software that is used to customize their keyboards. Again this is not Firefox’s fault because Firefox didn’t adopt the feature because of security concerns which is completely valid and even commendable.

EldritchFeminity ,

I could see this as part of a metrics thing - if Google sees a big drop in users right after the rollout, it’s harder to brush it under the rug as having no correlation.

KillingTimeItself ,

brave is literally just chromium, it solves none of the fundamental problems other than being like, reasonably well built.

It’s chrome, but if it didnt’t try and kill you ever update. That’s the difference.

Or perhaps try ungoogled chrome if you enjoy Chrome.

Can we return to Aero? Is that too much to ask?

mkwt ,

Skip aero. Let’s go back to compiz fusion and deskcubes.

mlg ,
@mlg@lemmy.world avatar

I’m rocking a desktop octagon with two monitors with all the fancy window animations on and still using less ram that windows on idle lol.

Pacmanlives ,

New KDE brought the cube back!

ne0phyte ,

Have a look at Wayfire. It’s a Wayland compositor that implements a lot of the compiz effects/plugins. I recently found that but haven’t tried it myself as I don’t really care about wobbly windows and cubes as much as I did 15+ years ago when I first tried compiz as a teenager :D

ShinkanTrain , (edited )

I’ve been long enough on this place that I know you can get similar effects on Linux

first screenshot doesn’t look like aero at all tbh. second one more so. this is the most accurate port I know of tho gitgud.io/wackyideas/aerothemeplasma

i want to install plasma just for this now

atocci ,

This is the kind of thing I had in mind!

Aero is more than just the blur effect, modern OS’s still have that in spades.

It’s pretty easy! This is my desktop right now. I do like it a liiitle less gaudy and my mac use at work means that I prefer my window controls on the left instead of the right.

StormWalker ,

Second picture theme is called: Clearglass. Icon: Glass icons by Palko drawing.

StormWalker , in An alternate timeline

I loved this theme! I remember upgrading from XP to Vista Aero (later win7) and being blown away! Aero based themes are still my favorite. Windows 8 and 10 looked cheap and boring.

You should put a motion sensor near your coffee maker. Just make sure the alarm is always within earshot

Can’t even get HL3 on an alternate timeline.

DragonOracleIX ,

We might be living in the timeline that gets HL3. A recent leak from a VA’s resume suggests that it might be in development.

Don’t do that. Don’t give me hope.

EnderMB ,

Wasn’t Alyx HL3?

Psythik ,

It was a prequel.

allidoislietomyself ,

Rumor has it that HL3 or some other single player HL game is currently in the works!
