    “we’re here as and independent voice”.

    Yeah, sure. Tell Donald Trump, Elon Musk and Israel to fuck off, just to test your independence.

          It is, with more privacy-focused settings and AI turned off by default.

      librewolf; waterfox is good but not fully anti ai.

      i like palemoon but has some issues with rendering modern sites :/

      seamonkey is good with some of the same issues as palemoon

        I have palemoon for running flash, years ago an interview required flash when mainstream browsers had moved on. Havent used it since.

        Libre and water are dependent on firefox no?

      I didn’t expect Brave to be the one that offered a version completely free of AI, ads, and other sponsored stuff with Brave Origin. Free on Linux and paid on other operating systems.

        Ladybird embraced AI and started slopping it out they’ve said. (Well they used different language).

          The main dev is also a right wing chud who prides himself on being “apolitical”.

        Why even bother using the word if you’re going to self censor?

        They even gave you a perfectly good alternative and you corrected it with a self censored word. Do you like how tight your leash feels?

            Seriously, examine the why’s of the things you do. If you don’t like cursing, don’t curse. Use different words. Censoring on the behalf of corporate interests immediately makes you the enemy of anyone with half a brain.

              I”ll choose my own words. If anyone read it, sounding it out in the reader’s inner voice would provide the intended understanding of what was being communicated. We ain’t writing code here. Ens—tification, enshitification. I understand it either way.

                I”ll choose my own words.

                But you don’t, clearly, because you’d rather opt for a word chosen for you by your corporate owners. In fact, you tried to correct someone choosing to use a different word than enshitification with your self censored version.

                Some people hate being put in a cage, others cheer - you seem like the latter.

    So? Is it that hard to believe that a company that’s working in today’s environment is using one of the most effective platforms out there even if it’s run by a white supremacist?

    News at 11, most people suck and don’t have the stomach to not use something popular even if they’re run by a horrible human being.
