PewDiePie's tierlist of browsers
-
I kinda think Floorp is better than waterfox
-
In the trash with the rest of the transphobes
Wait, something happened with ladybird? Or is just a joke?

Thx
That was a good read. I didn't know about that -

I'm considering switching to Floorp, I'll need to check of Pewdiepie has his reasons and what those are.
-
No Zen-Browser (though I am not sure when this vid was made), and Pale Moon should be in the "Not ideal for a normal human" at best.

Thx
That was a good read. I didn't know about thatNeither did I. Wow dead before arrival.

Ngl, feel like his tier list is based on usability while avoiding big tech.
Tbh even if this tierlist is not the best or great, it still is "good enough". Plus the most important thing is to get tons of people interested.
I rather have "good enough" tier list that reaches to millions of people, then have a perfect tierlist that only reaches out to less than a dozen people.
Because amongst the millions of people who are interested, thousands of them will do their own research into privacy and dig deeper into it.
Plus right now, the biggest weakness of privacy is the fact that our community is too small to make an impact.
Having someone give this much outreach and influence to attract attention towards privacy is a good thing. (well, as long as their advice are on the positive end of the spectrum, and pewdiepie's advise surely is, even if its not perfect)

That's a good find that famous people are getting into FOSS (should be free as in freedom too).
But it's really not a good thing that they spread a non expert speaking to the crowd.Tier lists are meant to be mainly subjective and pretty relative to the person that made it.
In that way Pewdipie could quote experts but in no case should make a tier list based on what he found the last weeks (I didn't fully watched the video so maybe I'm wrong and he made a big disclaimer)If you watch the video, Felix tells you twice in the same sentence that he uses Arch.
Lemmy had taught me that this means Felix IS an expert on FOSS

How sorry didn't know, so that make him really one of the biggest expert in FOSS 100%

This is a random screenshot he used in hos video for roughly 2 seconds. This is not his tierlist.
-
Not of his. This is a known widespread tierlist made by other person (I do not remember if this came from Reddit, a YT video or what, but it is well known)
-
Where's ladybird
Edit - I didn't know about the Transphobia going on there. that is unjustifiable.
I mean ladybird certainly would be lowest tier, considering you first have to compile yourself
also it's pre alpha state...But it'll be interesting to see how far they've come on 1 year
-
Seeing a lot of criticisms. Is there a better tier list then?
-
I kinda think Floorp is better than waterfox
Floorp is amazing
-
I'm considering switching to Floorp, I'll need to check of Pewdiepie has his reasons and what those are.
Vivaldi is somehow on top of Floorp so I'd say his reasons are laughable at best.
-
Never seen anoyone rank brave alongside or even above standard firefox.
No Mull?
-
Stop sharing and platforming the nazi
Also, this tierlist sucks fucking balls

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.
