ok I've drug my feet long enough. Chrome won't stop crashing and won't playing some videos and won't play twitter videos at all. Time to swap. Whats everyone using these days?
I'm not up on my why-we-don't-like-certain-browsers-anymore lore anymore but I vaguely recall Opera being bought by a chinese company and thus being beholden to the chinese government?

Hard to say. I tried to write a history of all the different browsers, but some bastard keeps erasing it.

I mean, I guess that could be true? I haven't found any actual reporting of foul play though, it's just people parroting that sentiment.
Anyway my data's been hacked so many times via poor security on US databases that I don't see the point in worrying.

Opera got sold off to a Chinese venture capitalist firm, or something like that. As far as I know all development is still in Europe in Norway, under Opera AS.
Someone posted in one of the earlier tech threads about a text only web browser, I believe Lynx. Open source so there is probably a mobile version... Not sure I can give up porn though.
Now would be a great time for Netscape to rise from the ashes and close the circle.
But I'm assuming whoever owns that now is likely not much better than the rest of them, eh?

I installed Brave exactly once and was greeted by some internet funny money kinda business and immediately noped out. The fact that it's the creation of Brendan Eich, the guy who got kicked out of Mozilla for Proposition 8 bullshittery and the creator of Javascript (a language I have a neverending and irrational hatred of), only seals it.
And starting as soon as this week, it’s going to remove all purchased books from the libraries of those who bought them.
but at least
Microsoft will refund customers in full for what they paid, plus an extra $25 if they made annotations or markups. But that provides only the coldest comfort.
I think it might get a bit hyperbolic at the end with the language.
I get why people are annoyed and upset, sure, but I think Microsoft is going about it the best way that could be expected of them.

A full refund isn't the same as not taking your shit away from you, but it's better than the nothing I would expect from most vendors. That's the entire point of streaming after all.

I am incredibly perplexed at the lack of a home button on mobile but otherwise yeah I switched to Firefox when Google decided to disable ad blockers.

Firefox seems the way to go for now
Shit I didn't know about that....
