Privacy GuidesInteresting new strategy from Brave...
Kevin Karhan@privacyguides doesn't change that #Brave is done by some questionable guy and doesn't come close to @torproject / #TorBrowser…
Fossman@kkarhan @privacyguides @torproject For most use cases - especially for nontechnical people, a built-in ad/tracker blocker is more useful than IP obfuscation.
I don't agree with their politics as well but afaik @brave is still the ONLY cross-platform FOSS web browser that comes with ad/tracker blocking by default and a non-Big Tech search engine.
Meanwhile @torproject is opposed to shipping a built-in ad blocker.
I had high hopes for #Midori by @astian but looks like they're not cross platform yet.

Astian, Inc@opensourceopenmind @kkarhan @privacyguides @torproject @brave Thank you, we are working on it, we hope to be on Flathub in the next few hours, Midori also includes Tor browsing and we are improving all of this.
@astian @opensourceopenmind @privacyguides @torproject #Midori supoorting #Tor sounds good.
Certainly it doesn't hurt!

@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] except that's not true. @[email protected] includes #uBlickOrigin and @[email protected] are just unbereable by being just another #Chromium - #Fork run by an *Anti-"#DEI"* Cringelord whom shall not be empowered! - Consider @[email protected] …
@astian @kkarhan @privacyguides @torproject @brave That's nice to hear. Sadly, the Android version development appears to have stalled...?
@opensourceopenmind @kkarhan @privacyguides @torproject @brave No, we are only working on our own tools to disassociate ourselves from No, we are only working on our own tools to disassociate ourselves from Mozilla, Our own Sync, completely open source without relying externals, we're stabilizing the desktop and then moving to mobile and integrating it
@astian @kkarhan @privacyguides @torproject @brave Well, when #MidoriBrowser becomes truly cross-platform and available on all of the major operating systems, I hope to be able to say one day:
Just use Midori.
since it's already FOSS + has ad/tracker blocking + non-Big-Tech search engine.
@opensourceopenmind @kkarhan @privacyguides @torproject @brave Well at the moment we're on Windows, Linux and Android we're only missing Well at the moment we are on Windows, Linux and Android we only have two left ❤️😍🤤
