Zorin OS 17.3 replaced the default Browser from Firefox(Old) to Brave(New).

To take that passage (Romans) and to interpret it to mean that Homosexuality should be persecuted is to ignore Jesus' lessons in favor of one's own hatred. That's not Christian at all.
-
Yeah i mean true if its just an issue with their org then thats a different case. I do think that sort of money making model would work well though so maybe it could be used to fund a new browser.
-
Brave marketing has gone crazy to convince people it's less dodgy than Firefox. Come on!
-
Recent firefox policy change is controversial, but how brave is better?

Could it have been because of Librewolf?
Some issues definitiely were, but I also noticed issues when going back to regular Firefox and on Firefox mobile and Mull (which is sorta like Librewolf principles but for FF Mobile).
it was mainly because Google could afford to implement new standards faster than Mozilla could
I think that's exactly what happens.
It definitely wasn't Firefox's fault for the compat issues.
Websites would work for months, and then one day only work in Chromium browsers. Sometimes they'd come back. Sometimes only parts would fail. Sometimes they'd never come back. These sites were changing things and breaking Gecko compatibility, but never Blink compatibility. I'd try turning off all the privacy settings, disabling ad blockers and extensions too, but nothing could fix it except using a Blink browser.
So I don't blame Firefox/Librewolf for this, but it also means I suddenly couldn't, say, access my loan payment as an example in Firefox. That's one that broke. I need that to work. It works in Chrome, but not in FF (actually I think it came back to working in FF eventually)
I was always having to have 2 browsers installed, Firefox-based for most things and a Chromium-based backup.
One day I realize that it doesn't make sense to use a FF-based browser, since if I have to have a Chromium-based backup anyway, I might as well just use a Chromium browser. I didn't want to use a it, I'm generally against it Blink, but I feel that Gecko has already lost the war. I have no choice. FF is not long for this world
-
Right. So perhaps Librewolf isn't a good choice for Zorin OS
-
just philosophically it should be kinda evident that over-concentration on one corporate controlled rendering engine isn’t a good thing
Totally with you on that point.
However, I feel now that Gecko has already lost. I was a long-time FF and later Librewolf user, but Websites don't care to support FF as much, so I'd have important sites break. I'd have to have a Chromium-based backup anyway.
So I've now given up on that from. I have no real choice but to use Blink in some capacity.

Will it be legal? Recently honey extension was caught doing this, though without user consent.
Even with user consent, would businesses work with firefox affiliate if it is not actually attracting sales, but taking a portion of sales, and thus reducing profit, just because it is made through the browser?
Firefox tried "privacy friendly ad" but that has also received community backslash because it turns users into products and doing anything like that would make their profit engine go boom and exploit private data. Wouldn't the similar backslash also apply in affiliated sales? -
I personally turn back on persistent sessions and history
I did as well.
My point is just that it makes sense to be the default in that browser given its inclination towards privacy.

God, I hate Paul. He seems to be the source of most of the shitty things in Christianity.
-
talk about bad taste
-
Y not gnome web
-
The way i see it if its opt in theres no issue. This would be something that wouldn't happen unless you manually turned it on.
-
You've got me wrong, but do what you think is best.
-
Zen is literally the best browser around right now, I do understand the UI isn't for everybody but if you vibe with it, it rocks
-
"we replaced the browser with ad ware, that we even admit we had to ship settings to minimise its malware effect"
-
Brave hates gays
-
Yes I can't get through the day without IPFS, good take
