Microsoft begins turning off uBlock Origin and other Manifest V2-based extensions in Edge
-
I've had some mandatory training sites specifically disallow Firefox. But I've also had some that only work on Firefox, so it evens out.

I dont know why people keep recommending brave.
its a fucking scummy fucking browser that has a history of stealing money, hijacking referal codes (like honey just got in deep trouble over), installing unnecessary software without consent and more.

The reason why Chromium uses LGPL is because they forked the code from Safari, which had previously forked the code from KHTML (KDE's web rendering component, used in Konqueror). The LGPL was provably insufficient to prevent corporate usurpation of the project, as a historical fact.

Are you implying the crypto-bro browser with connections to a billionaire that runs the largest corporate intelligence agency in the world may not be the best choice of browser? That's not the sort of attitude that generates value for the shareholders.

Firefox based. Interesting. Thanks for sharing. I'mma give this a try.
-
It's the number one browser to download other browsers, so yeah, sure!
-
Nonsense, you're not opening them! You're fetching them for viewing. It's totally different!
-
Backed by Shopify, huh? Bet they wish that wasn't the case, given recent events.
-
Because it's a good product.

The LGPL does its job, it's not as copyleft as GPL or AGPL, but having those licenses doesn't guarantee that companies will use it, like Gab, which used a fork of Mastodont, Truth Social, or Pawoo. If you want a more restrictive license, the OSI basically won't accept it as open source because it doesn't meet their guidelines.
Also, there are no other browsers due to the standards set by W3C and therefore browsers have to have corporate support.

No problem!

My friends who are less tech literate swear by brave. I think it's the way they market their browser... Some of Brave's core audience don't want to install a third party extension for adblock (either they don't like third party or they just don't know they can do it in other browsers)
Also on opening a new tab, they show the stats of how much data they saved and how much ads it blocked. Some people like seeing the number grow.
All this is my speculation. There may be some other reason for it being this popular.

Perfect time to check out AdGuard Home. Trivial to install locally. Probably took less than 3 minutes to install and get it operating. Hardest part was updating my router config. (Goddamn Google WiFi!)
-
Honestly this has been my daily driver for the past 6 months or so.
I really like it. The aesthetics are really modern, while still maintaining all the things I like about firefox.
-
If it's being heavily marketed, that's a red flag.
