LiamJust a reminder that friends don't let friend use the Brave browser
Martina Neumayer@ThePlant Well.. we don't have much bigger or wider choice in this topic on both, mobile or stationary platforms. Every browser is more or less based on someones same engine. No matter if google's, mozilla's or apple's but still. We do not have something really free, foss, or not owned, ruled by some big-tech, corpo etc. In this topic we all are trully sitting ducks as heck.
Martin Be@MartinaNeumayer @ThePlant Yes, you're absolutely right! And this what happened today is exactly that, what we have talked about few days ago.
If the browser or the engine that browser is based on is under someone's control, they always can do literally anything they want with it.
That's why we need something totally independent. To avoid that.
Look please what the hell Mozilla is doing right now. One click and tons of people are doomed:

At the request of Russia’s federal censor, the Mozilla Foundation, the entity behind Firefox, is blocking censorship circumvention add-ons for its browser, including ones developed specifically to help those in Russia bypass state censorship. https://theintercept.com/2024/06/12/mozilla-firefox-russia-censorship-blocked/
@MartinBe @ThePlant This is happening right now directly before our eyes. Is there anything more than we can add to the topic? Because after seeing what Mozilla did I don't think there's anything left. #Mozilla has just left the building of trusted companies at its own request. For me it is very simple now. As one of my life rules say: "You cheat or lie to me once, you have nothing more to look for with me ever". Same occurs for companies, foundations and their products, services etc. That's it.
@MartinaNeumayer @ThePlant I wonder how many more similar examples we need to understand gravity, importance of the situation? We already did had plenty of them in the past where some stupid decisions and moves of one person/dev literally fuc*ed up thousands if not millions of people. So, what in the devil we want more?! That this shit happens one day like an "digital judgment day"? 🤔 I don't truly know what people are still wanting for?
