I disabled Brave shields to use this site and then my phone turned into an air fryer from all the bloatware it was loading. Temps went up like 20 DC.

The spite I have for fandom… is… so… intense

Numbers go brrrr

      Also, don’t use Brave.

      Brendan Eich is both vocally and financially opposed to LGBT+ equality. The browser has actively enabled targeted ads. They’ve actively promoted crypto and have been in bed with specific crypto brokers to promote its use. They’ve been adding their own promo codes to URLs for private benefit.

      They don’t give a shit about privacy. Don’t touch them with a barge pole.

        I don’t mean to make light of the bigotry, but the fact that that fuckwad inflicted JavaScript upon the world is reason enough to hate him and avoid his shit by itself. He has a proven track record of incompetence and terrible design decisions.

          javascript is one of the best programming languages in the world. is was one of the first mainstream languages to adapt features such as coroutines, imports based on filename instead of classname/library name, etc.

          it does a lot of things right. haters gonna complain about the 5% efficiency lost because it doesn’t use static typing.

        All of his crimes against humanity puts him in the same circle of hell as the Koch Bros and the Mercers.

        If you don’t like Firefox mobile is there another ad blocking mobile browser that you’d suggest?

          Personally I use waterfox, it’s what firefox was before the ai trash was shoved into it and what it should still be.

          If you already have strong opinions about browsers, then I’m guessing this is unlikely, but if you have an iPhone, Orion is decent.

          Cromite has a built in adblocker but it also allows you to install extensions.

          I have Ublock Origin and Libredirect installed in Cromite on my phone.

            Nah, Cromite doesn’t allow extensions. Other than the built in ones, it doesn’t do extensions. There was another Chromium android browser that could do extensions, Kiwi I think. But it was a smidge shady how it did its search queries so I’d avoid it.

            And side note: Cromite’s Fdroid repo link is shot. It’s been down for me for month, and I tried disabling VPN or switching to other countries and i either get a timeout or not found error, similsr to this forum post. So like I’d have to keep downloadong apks to keep it up to date, and I’d rather just pray every website i use works on FF than do that.

              Attached is a screenshot of Cromite browser’s “chrome://extensions” page with extensions installed and running. Also shown in screenshot is the Ublock Origin applet pinned to Cromite’s toolbar

                Sheesh, you schooled me. I genuinely didn’t think it had the option for them, especially since I tried to test it with libredirect’s crx file. Is it because you have to enable developer mode in the chrome flags?

      One entry in the Testimonials section links to a satire website and people might not realize that.

      Nice, although I’m slightly suss about the extension wanting access to my Google data.
