… I don’t think listening to random big influencers is a good way forward (in anything).
(As to the list - others already pointed out everything, y’all nerds know shit! <3)
Just because PewDiePie switched to Linux doesn’t mean we should listen to his browser recommendations
What exactly has he done to warrant considering this? He’s a yt star, not a privacy expert.
that is not his list, just a random screenshot.
Yeah i just checked the video and it appeared for like 2 seconds as a side note. He never even tried Brave apparently.
Brave is a series scam company.
Firefox is a monopoly’s pet
all hail lynx
Real experts browse the web by email
Is there anything emacs cannot do?

Richard Stallman style!
My brain read this to the tune of Gangnam Style
Would you mind giving some context? Ive never used Brave, but my dad does. In which sense is it a “scam”? Would want him to switch if its terrible
People care more about CEO’s opinion on politics and hate Web3 crypto more than they understand technical browser stuff.
Brave is far from perfect and the company had their contreveries but honestly if you disable all the cryptocrap and tweak it a tiny bit so it does not show you ads and feature you don’t use it is the best chromium browser in regards to security and privacy.
Ungoogled chromium by default can’t even compare, it’s not crap but brave does so much more than it’s better for the vast majority of users.
Wait. He hasn’t crumbled into dust or whatever these “Offputting guy with shit politics who has an inexplicable army of irritating tween fans” youtubers do when they’re past their shelf life? I thought he was irritating when I was in high school. That was…what, thirteen years ago now?
Not of his. This is a known widespread tierlist made by other person (I do not remember if this came from Reddit, a YT video or what, but it is well known)
That’s a good find that famous people are getting into FOSS (should be free as in freedom too). But it’s really not a good thing that they spread a non expert speaking to the crowd.
Tier lists are meant to be mainly subjective and pretty relative to the person that made it. In that way Pewdipie could quote experts but in no case should make a tier list based on what he found the last weeks (I didn’t fully watched the video so maybe I’m wrong and he made a big disclaimer)
If you watch the video, Felix tells you twice in the same sentence that he uses Arch.
Lemmy had taught me that this means Felix IS an expert on FOSS
How sorry didn’t know, so that make him really one of the biggest expert in FOSS 100%
I know it’s been said, but Brave is a hard no. Replace it with Ungoogled Chromium. I haven’t seen the video so I don’t understand why it’s in the “not ideal for a normal human” list, and I am biased since I use plenty of “not for normal” tools.
Ppl focusing on the negative. It’s just his subjective list. He doesn’t claim to be an expert. Lemmy autism peaking here. More exposure to foss is good guys
Brave? Hard no. Vivaldi? Also no.
Also, where are qutebrowser and Zen?
qutebrowser and IceCat are real top of the game when it comes to privacy. But then, they break some of the sites functionality, especially IceCat who seems to be going under the “if your site doesn’t work, it’s your site’s problem” motto.
What’s bad about Vivaldi?
It’s proprietary
The UI is as far as I know proprietary
Nothing in the browser should be proprietary. Any proprietary part is a possibility of malice, and browsers are mission critical.
I don’t disagree with that. It’s just that most browsers are built that way, unfortunately. Nothing is free, not even Firefox. If you want to sell it, it’s hard to maintain reasonable expectations that people won’t just build it from source instead of buying it. Something 100% free can’t maintain itself over long time.
Firefox is open source, and while it takes some shady practices to fund it (it sure isn’t cheap to run your own damn engine alongside everything on top), I take it as a more tenable compromise.
You can also have degoogled Chromium which is open-source if you’re into it.
Where’s ladybird
In the trash with the rest of the transphobes
Wait, something happened with ladybird? Or is just a joke?
This is a fairly unbiased writeup
Thx :D That was a good read. I didn’t know about that
Neither did I. Wow dead before arrival.
I didn’t find any specifics in that article. What does it mean that the documentation was asked to be more gender neutral? I can’t think of any gendered documentation I have read from any other projects.
The user was referred to as “he” in the all the documentation. Random made up example “if the user wants to change his settings he will click this button in the top left” or whatever.
A very normal PR was raised that just changed these uses to be gender neutral and it was declined for being too political.
Thanks for claryfing. I’m not well versed in using git, but does the PR mean that all the work to change the pronouns was already done? All the owner of the repo had to do was accept the changes?
Correct!
Brb, double clicking ‘Netscape Navigator’ to go on ‘Ask Jeeves’ to look up what this “PewDiePie” is
I’ve looked into it and it’s not even his tier list, just one he found online.
LibreWolf W. Missing my boy Zen Browser on there tho
Edit: also RIP Mull 😔✊
