    Finally someone that is being objective here!
    If I had to suggest a browser to a non techie person I’d definitely tell them to use Brave since it’s the best middle ground between full privacy to the point of clunkiness and, well… Chrome.
    It is still a little invasive by shoving features/ads in your face (wallet, videoconferencing web app, sponsored backgrounds, etc.), but they’re less armful than other options and easier to turn off than slightly obscure about:config settings that break the experience of a non privacy concious user





  • Yes I agree, it’s very shitty on Reddit’s behalf and I feel sorry for every developer that saw their work being made more or less useless, I understand all the effort and countless hours that go into that.

    I’m slightly pulling everyone’s leg here, I don’t want to be toxic and say “oh you didn’t open source your stuff? Then you’re WORTHLESS!!!”, the devs have all the right in choosing how to handle their own things, on the other hand maybe it can be some food for thought for the users, for example we see how Infinity will still stand for now (maybe ever?) because it is open source and now everyone can make their modifications to effectively have an own “Infinity”, the name turned out to be quite prophetic lol.

    Either way things go, I really do hope that apps, proprietary or otherwise keep a paid for version as the published one or just as an option, that would be the least they can do to get some recognition back after having been torn down
