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

Is privacyguides wrong?

I'm not going to defend Mozilla by any means, but if you care about privacy, you wouldn't use a browser based on Chrome anyway.

the everyday linux distro that is famous for asking people for money for their pro version, cause they know most of the userbase is coming from windows and doesnt know that everything is free?

one of the worst distros ever so I guess this is pretty obvious choice and telling to some.

Recent firefox policy change is controversial, but how brave is better?

Define worst? It does what it says, it's an easy stable distro for windows refugees. Slow updates doesn't make something bad

Nothing wrong with supporting projects you adore.

It's a big reason why I switched to Debian.

Brave marketing has gone crazy to convince people it's less dodgy than Firefox. Come on!
wrote 5 days ago last edited byYeah. Viral marketing is real but people never seem to be able to identify it.

Once again like Zorin, it isn't required to use the base version. Projects take time and effort, support is optional. Debian also has a donation page gonna distrohop now too?

As a Librewolf user I wouldn't make it default for casual users this kind of distro is aiming for. Sure enabling logins to use it as a main browser is piss easy, but that's still more work than the average person wants to put into setting up their system.
Waterfox would be the better choice since it's just default Firefox in every way besides Mozilla's spyware.
wrote 5 days ago last edited byUgh. Why can't designers recognize they don't need to do things different just for the sake of being different?
I guess it's what makes them bad designers.
-
That is the default behaviour, but it's pretty trivial to change. Also, I'd imagine the distro maintainer could choose to change the default settings as part of a post-install script, if they wanted to.

It has to be the default tho, bc the whole point of Librewolf is that it's trying to by default be untraceable and private.
It's very easy to disable that and re-enable cookies and the like, but your default experience will fundamentally be private, which is its goal

Sigh. This is what makes you people bad designers.

A bad move. But again i hate that many distros have a default browser and they don't let you choose.

Debian doesn't lock features or updates behind paywalls. It's not just about asking for donations.

wrote 5 days ago last edited byThere is a difference between a donation and a purchase. You can buy Ubuntu Pro like Zorin Pro. Its not free

wrote 5 days ago last edited byWhat does zorin lock behind the pro version? Some themes that you could make yourself if you wanted. And they package some apps that you could manualy download. What updates are you refering to?

They should've picked LibreWolf which ships with uBlock Origin. Brave is a disappointing choice because it supports multi-level marketing pyramid schemes which says enough about their moral compass.

︎ arscyni.cc: modernity ∝ nature.wrote 5 days ago last edited byI kinda dislike the default LibreWolf settings. Unsure if they changed it, but I remember that you have no history except you change it in the settings.
A Windows refugee wants a history. Addituonally, many pages just dont work.
My University also does capture a picture and reads it from the Canvas or something, which LibreWolf blocks. It doesnt show again if something is okay or wrong. I just got a Mail that I need to reupload it and go by myself to pickup my University-Card.
I wasnt the only one as Informatics has many Linux users and some Librewolf users.

wrote 5 days ago last edited byWhy lock anything behind a paywall? They do it to take advantage of users who don't know any better.
Otherwise, they would just ask for donations.
Why are you defending scummy practices? Are you a shill or a useful idiot?

wrote 5 days ago last edited byNah people just frame it as if you need to buy it, while that's not true. No I'm not defending scummy practices, I'm just pro supporting software that you enjoy. That people like you can't handle others opinions and immediately resort to calling it "fanboy or useful idiot." The world doesn't need to be a copy pasta of opinions
