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

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

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.

A Nokia smartphone because:

  1. They are cheap
  2. All Nokia smartphones guarantee three years of security upgrades, something very rare in cheap Android phones, this is usually reserved to high end models.
  3. They are not owned by the Chinese. The brand is owned by Microsoft and they sold to HMD Global, a Finnish company, the rights to build phones with the brand.

HMD Global announces three years of OS updates for mid-range Nokia devices https://www.notebookcheck.net/HMD-Global-announces-three-years-of-OS-updates-for-mid-range-Nokia-devices-two-years-for-budget-handsets-and-not-necessarily-anything-for-the-Nokia-C-series.531561.0.html

I believe that you must be whitelisted in order to be able to create a forum. See the comment under this post.

Also, meh.

Lemmy community didn’t seem to impressed with anything here, but personally I don’t care either. A community that censors its users actions and speech isn’t deemed interesting to me and never will be. Ramble is a very good community regardless of being usable far right/far left who cares.

I remember old Nokia brick phones and Motorola Razr flips from when I was younger. Galaxy is a very good phone to this day, I have a Note a while back and loved it, till I smashed it to bits at a concert. I never usually get a phone fixed when I break it I usually just buy a new one.
