Huge win for Internet freedom: Google must sell its Chrome browser | Tuta

The DOJ's antitrust decision to break up Google's monopoly is a critical win for a better and fairer Internet for all.

@Tutanota Probably worth noting that brave is not really a friend and is actively highjacking suggestions to crypto (not that you should be using it anyway) and replacing ads with it own network.

@Tutanota
Latest discovery is that Samsung has a browser but I've only had it for almost 12 hours now and have barely used it, so can't give an informed comment beyond it having some anti-tracking protection.

Oh, I forgot to say that the download is 100 megabytes which unpacks into just over 500 megabytes!

@miguelpergamon @Tutanota It's just another Chromium clone.
@pavled @Tutanota
Not surprising! One of the first things that happened was that it offered me a Google sign-in but this one said (can't remember exactly now) somethjng like "link Google".
@Tutanota Firefox can no longer be classed as a privacy browser, thanks to their new Terms of Use policy... as many think it'll grant them the rights to use your data to train AI, in the future!
@toran Their wording was a bit strange, but i bet they are trying to not get sued. No changes were made to the functionality of the browser.
@gordonhost @toran Yeah, they said the law changed, but they should have changed the text to reflect the current state of the law, not remove it.
@gordonhost many of us, however, can see those changes happening down the road...
@Tutanota again and again
Where is @Waterfox in your charts?
Firefox for it's self not an innocent tbh, but forks are Great.
@Tutanota A legal solution, but I see a technical problem too: There can never be a new browser engine now. Almost every browser around is based on Chromium, and there are only three engines existing that are usable today. It's impossible to make a new one because the web browser, just to run the modern web, is usually the most complicated program on the computer aside from the OS itself. In many regards the browser is a mini-OS.

@Tutanota So we are forever stuck with Chromium, Firefox and Safari. No one is going to finance the massive project to create a new browser just to arrive late at the buffet when the food is all gone.

A browser is also a sandboxed virtual machine environment, a compiler, an elaborate security model, a dynamic layout engine, an audio and video player, a PDF viewer, and multiple database engines. It calls upon hundreds of libraries for supporting various data types and formats.

@Tutanota And a browser now needs all that to be usable. You can't just turn off javascript now - many websites simply don't work if you do. Maybe most of them.
@Tutanota Actually, you can use Vivaldi as well.
@Tutanota qui plus est, chrome et Google search ne sont même pas meilleurs. J'utilise Brave avec leur moteur de recherche et un peu d'IA intégrée, c'est top
@Tutanota damn. And here I was excited to get the new Pixel. Now what am I supposed to look into? 😭
@Tutanota Clarification: It seems (I'm not sure) that this is merely the DOJ affirming their current stance rather than a court ruling.
@FishNamedDog @Tutanota This is true, but Tuta communication team has continuously spread misinformation.
@Tutanota I don't really know what is Firefox doing among the private browsers, but I agree with the rest.

@Tutanota
Servo, Ladybird, Pale Moon? Where are the non-Quantum competitors?

Firefox has had a few sketchy things with intrusive advertisments of Mozilla's products, and their partnership with Google.

There's something to be said about the illusion of choice between the two big corpos's engines being forked to make each and every browser you hear of, ever.

@Tutanota #Firefox is anything but #private or #secure for that matter.. (Unless you apply a custom user.JS)
@Tutanota firefox has multiple security vulnerabilities so I personally don't use and don't recommend any firefox based browsers anymore. More on this here: https://madaidans-insecurities.github.io/firefox-chromium.html

@Tutanota
What is difference of centralized search engines (lile DDG or brave search) and google search?
