Reply to Which browser(s) are you using and why? by Wahaha

GNU/Linux desktop
often use: Pale Moon, Firefox ESR, and Tor Browser
sometime use: SeaMonkey, EWW (Emacs Web Wowser)

I don't use Chromium. Because, it send a lot of fingerprint to connecting server. (Fingerprint check)
Tor Browser is easy to use for privacy.
Pale Moon and SeaMonkey is forked from Firefox. But, they are lightweighter than Firefox. I use uMatrix addon for privacy and paformance.
EWW is very lightweight. But, many website are designed for Chrome and Firefox. So, EWW can not show those website.

Andoid mobile
often use: Iceraven, and Fennec F-Droid 68.12
sometimes use: Tor Browser, and Bromite

Iceraven is:

  • about:config support
  • The ability to attempt to install a much longer list of add-ons than Mozilla's Fenix version of Firefox accepts. Currently the browser queries this AMO collection Most of them will not work, because they depend on code that Mozilla is still working on writing in android-components, but you may attempt to install them. If you don't see an add-on you want, you can request it.

I have been using Firefox 68 too. Because, latest Firefox is very heavy.
Bromite setting is anti-fingerprinting.

I use Brave for the adblocker. Their new search engine seems to work alright, too. Before Brave, I used Firefox, but they're now ardent supporters of corporate censorship - I wouldn't trust them to protect my privacy.

Reply to Which browser(s) are you using and why? by Wahaha

So I use some browsers with javascript (JS) disabled. I use these when I search for something or to open random links e.g articles.

Here's the list:

  • Elza-browser This project is pretty neat. By default the browser is in private mode. Therefore, does not retain any browsing information. But lacks of some features tho.

  • Netsurf Very lightweight browser. Netsurf does not handle JS stuff very well. Therefore, work great when JS is disabled.

  • Palemoon Well Palemoon is a well known browser based of Firefox so not much to say about it.

However, im a Emacs user. Emacs is my window manager with EXWM Therefore, I use 80% of the time the Emacs built-in browser eww. Before It was w3m. These are text-based browsers.

When I need to log into some well-known websites e.g Reddit, Bank etc. I use the Brave-browser, Min-browser or Firefox . These browsers obviously run with JS enabled. I never log into Google stuff like YouTube and whatnot. But if I'd ,I'd be using something like the ungoogled-chromium just for Google stuff.

Now, I think you get the point. Use different browsers for specific stuff, hence the Chromium only for Google stuff. Use a browser with JS disabled when you don't know the website you're about to visit or if you do not need to log in.

Also, I don't use the browsers bookmarks. I use a .txt file to save my bookmarks.

Other browsers that are worth noting:

  • Luakit Fast, small, webkit based browser framework extensible by Lua.

  • Nyxt is a infinitely extensible web browser designed for power users. Fully configurable in Lisp

  • Vieb is the Vim Inspired Electron Browser

Reply to Frontline COVID-19 Critical Care doctors switch to Odysee after Vimeo censorship by Hitler_Was_Right

It's believable, because Vimeo always leaned lefty.

But were they paid members? Did the membership lapse, making some unavailable? Do the missing videos say they were removed for any particular reason?

I don't see any posts on covid19criticalcare.com from the 10th, and the 11th ones don't look related. Do you have a link to their post or to the posts with missing videos?

Pale moon because it's lightweight and Firefox because it's modern. I actually have a bunch of different browsers installed for the purpose of testing things or accessing sites that work best with specific browsers, but my favourite would still be Pale moon.

Reply to comment by TallestSkil in Emojis are making it harder for tech giants to track down online abuse by whitestar

I thought pregnant man emoji, very funny. But I thought nothing is too crazy, I looked it up, and IT IS REAL! https://blog.emojipedia.org/new-emojis-in-2021-2022/ Actually THEY are real because there have to be six different races of proud vaginal papas.

Now "emoji" is a private company, or to be more precise, it's a private company saying "I Get To Post Pictures and You Don't Because YOU might Post 256 Pixels of Child Porn And We Can't Have That But You Can Exercise Your Creativity By Reordering My Pictures In Many Combinations". With a caveat for the censorship issues raised above. Normally I wouldn't bother.

Still, in this case, I think they have inadvertently appealed to unwanted diversity, and they're going to have to backtrack because they're going to normalize unnatural minority groups. You can't have that, and they should know, that what you WANT to say always has to take a back seat to the unhealthy inference someone MIGHT take. Because if you look up online, there's no Fat Man Emoji of course, because fat people are bad. And yet, it is rumored that in dark spaces on the internet, there may be a few fat men looking to be recognized as if they were a legitimate lifestyle choice and not just freaks, dig? So we, erm, I mean THEY, none of them around HERE mind you might be prone to post some illicit sentiment they have failed to predict and contain. Oh boy those were good cheeseburgers this afternoon. I got to go deliver a BABY...

They will abandon their effort, or at least, go back to the Drawing Board.
