If the only reason google doesn’t have a monopoly on web standards is because firefox “exists”, then I think Google does in fact have a monopoly on web standards. Other browsers exists besides chrome and firefox ones, some like Konqeror even work pretty well for how old they are, but I think firefox is eventually going to see the same fate as netscape slowly becoming more and more irrelevant, and unlike netscape they can’t exactly sue Google for anti-trust (at least not without losing 90% of their funding)

LibreWolf is better, includes ublock and no tracking by default.

There are good chromium based browsers too, I’m not aware of Vivaldi having any major controversies or shady business decisions in recent years, it has a built in adblock thats independent of chromium’s upstream.

If you disqualify every browser due to its upstream having issues then you should probably revert to using CURL or something convoluted like what richard stallman does. Every browser that exists today is a fork of some browser that previously was good but started to suck.

This sure sounds like advice to me, maybe next time just dont mention you are an accountant and you can give advice without being held accountable.

You can use any DE you want on just about any distro you want

Wow yet another feature android had like 4 years ago!

I have a google TV device and I didn’t even know they had a free option FROM google, but Pluto and tubi already have ads so not really surprising google would too… I just use jellyfin and smart tube, haven’t seen ads in ages.

It is on f-droid too. This isnt being “unhinged” its just calling out google for their hypocrisy and pointless "privacy” policies and citing lots of examples.

I’ve had good luck using phind.com for things when I need help because it actually cites sources which give you further context.

How do you mean they are spamming?

Mint is a good alterative. It has an xfce edition.

Sites that give this option usually explain more detail about it. I pretty much always reject nonessential, since they tend to be advertising related.

Pitch is basically twitter but on Tor.

If you haven’t already tried it I would also highly recommend phind.com for troubleshooting or coding questions.

Also for a nice quick access to gpt from your terminal grab “tgpt” and you can ask questions directly from your terminal.

Nitter still works but you’ll get rate limited pretty fast. I don’t think anything other than paying twitter money gets around rate limits.

Part of me hopes they do this kinda stuff more, make the platform uninviting for developers so they can move to something better… Like IRC

If it was possibly to bypass their service then it wouldn’t be as popular as it is. It’s most likely an issue with Waterfox and not cloud flair, id file a bug report.

I don’t trust for profit venture capital funding, if you want to see where it ends up just Look at how telegram or wickr transitions from being “open” and free to getting stripped of features only to have them become paid only and the wickr sold off to Amazon and ended all non business support…the business model for making a profit off chat applications is bad for users.

Also now that signal supports usernames I have no reason to use anything else even for people I wouldn’t want having my real number.

Have you tried macchanger? Also don’t disable network manager,.normally you should be able to change your Mac in network manager but it sounds like maybe you’re following a tutorial of some kind that might not be right.

eBay doesn’t do anything, the seller would need to have their own policy and even then there really isn’t much in place to stop people from lying.

Privoxy maybe

Just checked and will bank installs fine for me from Aurora. Are you using it anonymous or do you have an account signed in?
