PewDiePie's tierlist of browsers
-
Agree, it's the problem with closed source, but also easy with FOSS with bad maintenance, even more, because also the hacker can see the source code, without the need to desensamble it. In Vivaldi some of the UI part (5%) is proprietary, but not really closed source in it's sense of meaning, apart it has a continuous maintenance, with snapshot releases and frequent updates, a great community with the participation of the team and beta-testers. Very transparent all this, no space for fishy or shady things.
Vivaldi (a employee owned cooperative from Norway) was since years active against the shady practices of US companies and one of the promotors, along with the Consumer Organisation from Norway and some others, which caused the current EU GDPR law.
Nowadays it's needed to promoting European products and services to gain sovereignty from the US hegemony of big corporations. but sadly in browsers there are only three from Europe: Vivaldi (Norway), Mullvad (Sweden) and Konqueror (KDE, Germany), the other one, UR (France) is dead since a lot of years.Mullvad is maybe the most private browser after TOR, but apart of this not much more, Sync with Mozilla account which is a no-go for me. Konqueror, based on the KHTML engine (Grandfather of Blink and WebKit) is Linux desktop only, interesting features, but few extensions and somewhat limited.
Well, end of the choices.(not me downvoting)
I understand the concern with locally made software. However, I'd rather see something open-source come from the US than something closed source come from my own country.
Speaking of Konqueror, what about Falkon? It is the newer option by KDE team, and works on a more modern engine. And, it works on Windows.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]I've also concerns over closed source apps, but as said, the small proprietary part of Vivaldi's UI is irrelevant, there is nothing shady in it, it is full auditable and can even be modded by the user (at own risk, logically)
FLOSS isn't always synonymous of privacy, security and trust and proprietary soft also not always spyware and risky crap.Always is needed to read PP and TOS of the software you want use, it's features, support, and compare it with others, independent if it is FOSS or not.
Eg. In Windows since a lot of years, one of the best and most valued tools is IrfanView, free proprietary closed source, but nobody bother because of this, knowing that there is nothing shady or fishy in it, Photoshop is also full trustworth, but there are FOSS alternatives (Gimp, Krita) which in the case of IrfanView not really exist with similar features. Even used by Linux fans with Wine, (IrfanView is Windows only)Falcon, well, not bad, but too basic for me. The Qt engine is a minimized Blink fork, also used by the Otter Browser (Qt5), same as Goanna respect of Gecko.
Valid for users with an old PC or with few resources, who needs a small browser for basic tasks. -
Stop sharing and platforming the nazi
Also, this tierlist sucks fucking balls
Oh god how are there so many of you freaks
-
Crazy to see how much people on here hate this guy
-
Why is this guy popping up so much lately on Lemmy? I remember thinking this guy was a piece of shit about a decade ago...
I haven't kept up with the times. Was I right? Or did I become an angry old man 20 years to early?

You could just watch the video

yeah, super weird how people hate a fascist

Watching the video is unlikely to answer my question.

I don't mean this in a mean way, honestly curious -- fascist how? As far as I know he made a couple of distasteful jokes a decade ago and apologized for it. Not great but we should stop using words like fascist and Nazi unless we can back it up.

It is quite the opposite. It will answer your question in it's first 30secs. Even reading the other comments here will. Lol.

Quite literally the opposite. The first minute does not answer my question about why he has been appearing all over lemmy. Neither do the comments here.
Sure he's trying to degoogle. Hence this post, but that is not what I asked.
Unclear if you're a troll or just choosing to be dense...

.ml is full of freaks, and so many instances do not defederate for some ungodly reason... I say make the freaks have to leave their comfort zone if they want to engage with real people.
-
Your comment made me look at the list again. I didn’t even realise Brave is located at the very top.
Also, why is “not ideal for a normal human” at the middle of the list?
Garbage, indeed.
It's not his list, yet you goons shit on him like it is. Didn't watch the video, just came to hate without context... Sad.
-
Seeing a lot of criticisms. Is there a better tier list then?
No, just uninformed hate of a youtuber who openly says he's not an expert. Bunch of crusty autistic assholes in this thread for sure.
-
He didn't even made this, is a screenshot of a bunch of browsers that appears for 2 seconds on a video.
Then it's evwn dumber of people to judge pewdiepie over where browsers are on the list...

Instance-based tribalism is stupid. I'd expect as much from a .world-er

You might be trolling. Good luck leading your life with that wit.

Ah, clearly a degen troll. My lemmy will be a better place with you on the block list.
