the people who have a vested interest in misinforming you have more money than anyone who’s interested in forming their opinions based on facts and reality
but people are addicted to their fake likes on their fake enviable lives from their fake friends, so facebook will carry on doing whatever the fuck makes them the most money, regardless of the well-being of the common public good

“Why didn't she just keep her job, give us part of the wages to pay somebody else to do it?” he asked. “That is the thing that the hyper-liberalized economics wants you to do. The economic logic of always prioritizing paid wage labor over other forms of contributing to a society is to me ... a consequence of a sort of fundamental liberalism that is ultimately gonna unwind and collapse upon itself.”
“It's the abandonment of a sort of Aristotelian virtue politics for a hyper-market-oriented way of thinking about what's good and what's desirable,” he added. “If people are paying for it and it contributes to GDP and it makes the economic consumption numbers rise, then it's good, and if it doesn't, it's bad ... that's sort of the root of our political problem.”
It's really funny when conservatives are like "See the problem with Wokeness is <describes capitalism>"
Does it even matter when Amazon pushes its own products to the top and they’re always consistently rated at 4.5 or higher despite being inferior products
Our memory is so unreliable. I have some very clear memories from my childhood that I can prove to myself couldn’t have happened the way I remember.
I have no reason to doubt this happened, especially since repressing memories is a trauma response, but proving it in court without good corroborating evidence is going to be nigh impossible.
See this is exactly what they mean when they say abortions are Healthcare. Pro-birth ideologies often even lead to less fertility as seen here. If I ever get in touch with my parents again I’ll tell them I’m willing to offer my eggs to a cousin or something with infertility, but my mother has to write me a letter thanking me for having the strength to not listen to her bad advice and get an IUD anyway, because it turns out I’ve had endometriosis for 15 years and the IUD is the reason it didn’t run rampant and the reason I would still have eggs to give them.

right but can we still have spiders pop out of the phone of anyone who visits our website on an OS other than iOS? or did they put that off until HTML6?
Use Firefox. If something you use ABSOLUTELY needs Chromium yell at whoever makes the thing. If that still doesn’t work use Brave. But then go back to Firefox for everything else.
I know its everyone’s personal choice and all that but in my opinion people should stop using chromium engine browsers. It was a good engine however the fact that chromium has the majority users is the only thing holding lazy developers from porting websites to work with other browser engines gives google more control.
Most “browsers” being marketed out there are based off of Google’s Chromium project. They are effectively re-skins of it (simplifying a little). Examples include Brave, Vivaldi, Opera I believe.
Firefox is completely separate and independent from this ecosystem (which is also why there’s a separate extension store for Firefox).
The third and last major (>a couple % market share) engine is WebKit, which is the basis of Apple’s Safari.
There’s tons of cool stuff out there, but it’s either niche (platform/use case), unstable to use, and/or both. Examples: Servo, Ladybird, Orion
To sum it up, if you’re a normal, average user:
If you have exclusively Apple devices, probably try Safari (for the synchronization & battery efficiency)
If not, Firefox!
If you need it because of some really messed up development/compatibility issues, the last resort is ungoogled/de-googled Chromium
While on the topic, here’s some cool browser extensions:
long answer: Most people just like to shout-out what they like, and don’t want to know your use case. If you need pc/mobile sync, Firefox will be your best choice here.
What you are missing out on? Probably not much. Some sites might even work worse if you switch, due to lazyness or sabotage by devs.
Using Firefox is good for the ecosystem in general, to have a counter balance to Google. I use both Firefox and chromium and see very little difference. Some extensions might be worth it (like the title says), so that might be a difference for you.
I use Brave as my Chrome based browser when not using Floorp but there were other issues with Brave in the past like injecting their affiliate links unbeknownst to users so they could make money off them. They have reverted that decision but that they thought it was acceptable in the first place leaves some to question, rightly, what other shenanigans they might pull. They’ve also had issues with paying out Creators BAT tokens.
Yep company’s not totally trustworthy neither is Google neither is Microsoft. By the way, Firefox still sends all of your websites to Google to get safe traffic prompts.
Brave also got and slapped by the SEC for the handling of their crypto sales.
The link issue you’re speaking of was 4 years ago. The CEO issued a formal apology.
They’re a funded company they are trying to make money to pay the developers to stay solvent.
On the upside they’re using that money to fight Google’s ad blocking and to keep manifest V3 optional.
The way they block the ads happens outside of manifest so even if they take the manifest code they still won’t have ads. Of the chromium ancestry browsers they are the most likely to continue running long-term. They’re also the fastest solution for YouTube blocking when YouTube makes changes.
I main Firefox but still use brave over edge or opera.
Right now, we need all the boats we have. Not everything works in Firefox you need to have a backup,
Brave altered URLs clicked to add their own affiliate links. Browsers should go to where you click. That’s like their whole job. There are reasons to dislike Brave apart from crypto.
Are you talking about this? They say it only calls out to get updated lists and when you actually arrive at a phishing page to check if the page is still marked as suspicious.
Also, I agree it was 4 years ago. That’s a fair point. To me it’s super important and they’ve probably permanently lost my trust (or at least it’s always going to be besmudged). If you believe they’ve changed in that time period (or it’s not as critical to you) then that’s fine.
For what it’s worth, when I need a Chromium based browser because the site has a bug and won’t work with Firefox my (current) go to is Brave. I use it on a semi regular basis because dndbeyond.com works poorly with Firefox. So every 2 to 4 weeks I use it for that.
You can also disable FF from connecting to safe browsing with flags. I prefer to let my DNS handle that list.
My Work ADP portal also misbehaves in FF.
I’ve also made FF stop using Google search for anything.
I advocate people use whatever works for them. I’d advocate for Edge, but they have already clarified they intend to follow Chrome to the letter.
Vivaldi has claimed they intend to fork and not enforce V3, but acknowledge it’s no small feat and they may fail.
Operam I believe has claimed they intend not to enforce V3
Brave goes as far as saying that they’re immune to it even if they turned it on.
I don’t trust any browser 100% Firefox was close and is still my most trusted.
I’m down with pushing everyone into Firefox, but I’m not loving the chrome variant hate. Use whatever works unless the browsers are currently acting bad.
