So duckducknope and brave turned out to be a meme
Is Firefox browser still good
-
>Is Firefox browser still good
Yes, never fall for the Chromium glowscrotes-
chromium is FOSS and far more secure than firefox, cry harder
https://madaidans-insecurities.github.io/firefox-chromium.html-
There are "ungoogled" Chromiums around, so it is a less convenient choice, but better IMO.
-
>far more secure than firefox
No it’s not, chromium gets 30 CVEs every week, firefox is less bloated, and the most secure browser is an old fork of firefox like palemoon, Most firefox CVEs don’t apply to it

what’s wrong with ddg
-
firefox is still decent, still better than chromium shit and still has a brighter future even if that future is dimming by the day under the new f*moid management that cares more about hiring trannies to write blog posts and redesign the UI every six months instead of hiring engineers to actually develop features and improve privacy.
nothing that we know of. some people just suspect that it is selling our data since they are getting the money to buy ads from somewhere.
-
>they are getting the money to buy ads from somewhere.
by showing ads?..
by default the first two results are ads on most searches
of course you can disable them but they are shown by default and that’s where they get their money from.-
they literally have billboards and have for a while now. saw one when I drove to LA last week.
-
DDG gets revenue by selling ad space.
DDG can then buy billboards in LA.
The billboards help DDG grow their revenue.at no point does user data need to be sold in this arrangement.
-
i know
but the question was: where do they get the money to buy ads?
and i said: well, by showing ads on their search engine
but also investors

not shilling but they get paid to run ads (afaik) the same way garden gnomegle used to before getting greedy. In other words, no datamining or collection

>firefox is still decent, still better than chromium shit and still has a brighter future
what a nice joke to start the saturday. thanks for the laugh anon.

The organization has been taken over by anti-whites.

So what if I’m not white? Can I still use DDG?
-
Yes. Unless you want to become one.

Some white guy sent them his resumé and was rejected. Then he sent the exact same resumé again, but pretending to be a woke black lesbian… got called for a job interview.
-
That could have been be any tech job 2020+1 though
-
how’d he pull off the job interview? blackface?

How does firefox earn money?-
by defaulting google as a search engine
thats literally it-
>(((suggested articles))) on the new tab page
>google as default browser
>also donationsSo how is this pozzed shit any better than chrome?
-
it’s literally not
trannies won -
isnt
vanilla chromium is actually more private than firefox ootb -
It isn’t, brave isn’t bad
You just have to waste two seconds switching between duck, searx bing and qwant…i only use garden gnomegle if the search is way too hard (like who scored at x minute in certain football match without including ESPN) -
scrolling a page doesn’t lag, that’s how

-
>(((suggested articles))) on the new tab page
>google as default browser
>also donations-
>also donations
I thought you (as in the user of their browser) couldn’t donate to fund firefox? Vaguely remember some shitty justification for that policy.

$3M per year? for CEO of Mozilla? This is Mozilla, not Google, mozilla shouldn’t be paying this much while laying off engineers, especially when the reason is not because she was in a poor financial state, but just because she wanted more money. mozilla’s mission is supposed to be about improving the internet and promoting privacy, not making one person rich and becoming another soulless tech company that gives no shits about privacy and cares way more about telling you that you should vote democrat.

that’s what happens when you put a lawyer in charge

>So duckducknope and brave turned out to be a meme
a meme? is that your opinion? or got a link?-
Duckduckgo is verified shit but I an not sure about Brave what’s wrong with them?
-
you are not sure about duckduckgo either. if you were sure, you’d say why.
-
not that anon, but i thought their ceo was some israeli guy that previously ran a scummy ad company or is that brave idk?
-
not that anon, but you sound really unsure? and your post is inconclusive?
-

There was a leak awhile ago where a person was not hired due to being white. He reapplied keeping everything the same but stated he was a black female and instantly got hired. AKA chud takeover. The company is SJW and the searches are shit now compared to a few years ago.

>my opinion is blah blah blah who cares
yup, no link no care. got a link?? DIDN’T THINK SO YOU freaking HEEB

>Is Firefox browser still good
It hasn’t been ‘good’ for a while, but there isn’t a better alternative. -
It’s ok as long as you keep in mind that ywnbaw.
-
I just want a search engine that gives decent results, has image search that gives direct-links to the images, and doesn’t completely break without javascript or at least doesn’t load 70 gigabytes of js.
-
google does all of those
-
honestly… yandex bros where you at?

brave is the best browser right now, sorry all you time wasting neets
-
>install firefox
>disable pocket, autofill, all suggestions
>go into the extension tabs and type in ‘ub’
>install ublockorigin and check it to run in private windows
one of the first things i do on basically any device. havent used chrome since 2014-
you’re forgetting another certain special someone
-
didn’t that get cucked like ABP?
-
They got cucked and moved their good features into their paid services. I did their free trial and it’s got a built in VPN and blocked every single ad with all my other addons turned off.
But I already paid for a full year of nord so I decided to wait on buying it.-
ah, thought it was something along the lines of "acceptable ads"
-
>buying nord, a known datamine

firefox is entirely fine. don’t fall for the memes.
-
Fine if you like chud propaganda shoved down your throat.
-
i like chud cocks shoved down my throat, but propaganda will do in a pinch
-
-
-
>Is Firefox browser still good
Firefox 78 ESR is the best browser you can currently install, yes. -
Ive been using firefox for years now… I’ve swapped to chrome twice but came back to firefox… What propaganda are you people talking about?
FF on iOS surely is absolute trash though
-
I like Firefox’s "about:config" and there are switches to completely turn off telemetry, but Chromium is more secure/private by design. You can help firefox by running, sandboxie.
-
>but Chromium is more secure/private by design
completely wrong. the TOR project specifically selected firefox as the base for its browser because Chromium is near unsalvagable, and lots of the changes that TOR made have been added upstream in firefox, like fingerprint resistance.-
>TOR
uhhh that almost is a positive in Chromium’s favor. I’m also aware privacy and security are different.

WinXP + Safari is the only way
-
>Is Firefox browser still good
Yes. Trust your gut -
No.
-
can someone explain why brave is considered worse than firefox?
-
I’d like to know, do some of you have tested viper browser yet ?
I’m testing it and it seems really fast and smooth, but there’s apparently a lack of config or I still don’t find how to tweak things, do someone knows ? -
>and brave
wha’ happun? -
it was never good
-
No, but there’s really no alternatives.
-
This is getting crazier, /g hates on almost every browser nowadays
-
brave was always a meme
-
>ddg
>anon search engine
>hosted in the US on AWSlmao anyone who used this trash is dumb as fuck
-
what do you use then
-
-
>Is Firefox browser still good
switching from chrome to firefox last year was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. -
Sadly, it’s the only sane option in the privacy respecting web browser department.
