#Windows now gives people a poll when installing another browser. My reason is not listed. Do not trust proprietary web browsers. Install #Firefox instead. #Edge #JShelter #NoScript

I'm a fan of Abrowser myself which is a Firefox fork that has better defaults for privacy and security as well as removing some sketchy features.

@publiclewdness I use Ruben's abrowser daily too, but abrowser is only packaged for Trisquel AFAIK. Even amongst GNU/Linux enthusiasts, very few people know what Trisquel is. When making general statements about web browsers, talking about various spins of Firefox is usually not helpful as part of the discussion. Most people only know about various Chromium browsers and maybe Firefox. While not perfect, Firefox is miles above Edge and Chrome which are the original subjects of the article.

Abrowser is also available in the AUR so pretty much any Arch user can have access to it. There's a lot of Arch users out there.

@publiclewdness I didn't know that. abrowser is still not relevant to people who use Windows who are the target audience of posts related to Windows and Edge though. If I am referring to Android and I only mention Replicant, DivestOS, GraphenOS, or LineageOS, the vast majority of people will have no clue what I am talking about for example. The free software community in general often times struggles with ways to communicate with language that can be understood by the majority of people.
