What???
Mobile Firefox is STILL unable to install most extensions?
That's just pointless then.
Exactly the same case for chrome 
@LukeAlmighty uBlock Origin works in both versions of Firefox... but only on desktop Chrome

Because until 15 minutes ago, I didn't know of any alternative with a significant advantage
Nah, moved away from Brave.
1.- Can’t build it by myself, it takes over 40GB to do a successful build. Firefox takes ~5GB, Chrome takes ~9GB. 2.- No distro supports Brave. Not even F-Droid supports Brave due insane amount of resources. 3.- Brave as-a-company are nasty. https://www.theverge.com/2020/6/8/21283769/brave-browser-affiliate-links-crypto-privacy-ceo-apology 4.- They don’t support ARM platforms except Android. 5.- Their Android app uses Google’s SafelyNet. https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/15344#issuecomment-842798066
> Zero problems now.
> tells people to stay away anyway.
You're building brave wrong if it takes 40GB. RTFM.
@waltercool @LukeAlmighty @wolfi @js290
Arch PKGBUILD is about 27GB.
And not getting a 64GB RAM setup lol
@waltercool @LukeAlmighty Bromite also has some of the uBlock Origin features built in

Privacy is an issue of such insignificance, it's hard to even start explaining.
First, it's not my problem directly. I don't feel any pain from being watched.
Second, securing my data would generate a ton of inconvenience for my daily usage.
Third, All of data about me would be leaked by people in my proximity, who don't care about privacy either.
I wasn't able to persuade my own mother of a single rule. "Just don't upload my photos on facebook". A simple rule designed especially to be of least inconvenience to her. But she doesn't care, even if she knows I cared about this rule a lot.
@waltercool @js290
I didn't say that I don't care.
It is just in the last level of requirements, far behind function, speed and morality.
@waltercool @js290
The problem with privacy is that it's kinda too late.
It's like diving to the wreckage of Titanic, to say: Hey, I think this ship is going to sink.
Or going to Twitter and say: Wait a minute, what if that birth control pill is going to have an effect on social stability?
The only solution for 100% privacy is going without cookies and javascript like GNUtards, which is ridiculous.
Doing log in each time I visit a website is egghhh. Also makes more user/pass transactions over internet.
@waltercool @icedquinn @LukeAlmighty we all pick our poison...
i could have sworn firefox does but this might be an extension.
i mean all forms of security require some amount of mindfulness. appealing to people's radical laziness is how big tech got here to begin with.
Not everyone likes threads on browsers, but I do, it avoids lot of issues with multitabs
> could have sworn firefox does but this might be an extension.
there's a way to do it but it requires jumping through hoops
Can't remember the exact reason why stopped using Firefox, maybe problems trying to get HW acceleration at Linux. They keep breaking and re-fixing that.
That's true, any chrome based browsers you'd recommend? Honestly I think every web browser sucks
I remember the first time I installed chrome I was 10 and I was using an old iMac my father gave me I think chrome was out for a month at that point, it was still on WebKit at the time, little did I know I was using the product that ruined everything
@waltercool @js290
It reminds me of the time Duck Duck go said, that Privacy was the primary reason people were using it as a Google alternative.
Halarious 
Mozilla Firefox is crap at phone, it's slow at computer and phone, also Firefox is insecure by default and Mozilla can't be trusted.
I would suggest to go for Bromite or similar at phone, it's basically Google Chrome without any Google crap. Same with Ungoogled-Chromium at desktop.
