    Is there a good mobile browser that...

    • Supports adblock?
    • Doesn't have as many rendering issues as Firefox on mobile sites?

    I know the latter isn't Firefox's fault, but it still impacts the end user.

    Ever since I switched to GrapheneOS, Vanadium has been working well. Never had a problem with Firefox + ublock, or Librewolf (except with a corporate intranet webapp that specifically required users to use Chrome).

        usually ketamine would have an opposite effect, other things like alcohol and stimulants will amplify those things.

        IDK, ketamine is kinda similar to alcohol; more psychedelic. As someone who has always struggled with depression and has done ketamine, it does seem like it would be a good fast-acting, but short half-life anti-depressant (the afterglow lasts well after the buzz). Never knew anyone who abused it habitually, long term. Heard it messes up your bladder.

          I see how they didn't answer the question. However, maybe they're not answering your question but commenting on "Brave is a great product".

              That doesn't make it a bad product. I've never interacted with any of the crypto or donation stuff. You go into settings, click "no thanks" and are never bothered by any of that ever again. So no, these stories people repeat ad nauseam don't take away anything from the product. Why don't other people demand better from the alternatives? If there is one better than Brave at fighting popups and stuff, I'm all for it

                  Regardless of the CEO, Brave is a great product. The crypto stuff is easy to turn off. Fantastic ad blocking, rarely any problems. What is the best alternative with great ad blocking?

                  I used it as a secondary browser for a while. I didn't particularly care for it. It's a shame Edge is spyware corporate garbage because that's probably the best Chromium browser besides Ungoogled Chromium. I use Librewolf and the CachyOS browser now.

                    I like Zen ! Ladybird Pre-Alpha is scheduled for 2026, so, yeah, maybe this decade.

                      The IRS rules governing nonprofits still required the Mozilla Foundation to beg big to go big: the parent had to go find big grants from Soros, Ford, Knight, MacArthur, and give smaller grants to many. This put it in the lefties-only-no-righty-Irish-need-apply revolving-door personnel sector of NGOs and nonprofits (too many glowies there for me, too). Which meant I had a hostile MoFo over my head the minute I got CEO appointment from the MoCo board...

                      Of course I can't comment on anything about my exit, for reasons that only the most loopy HN h8ers still can't figure out.

                          Chromium is open source, so Google can't cut them off.

                            At that point, why give the nazi fuck any browser usage? If you don't trust the source, don't trust the product.

                            Like the other person said, use Ungoogled Chromium. I use it on a couple of my devices and it works pretty well.

                            Do you know any alternative to forgetful browsing? Basically the only thing keeping me. Just so much more convenient always-on incognito mode.

                            Also the fact that I can just turn off all the stuff that makes them money.

                                Well. They can stop updating the open source code, create manifest v4 and now all chromium browsers are shit out of luck.

                                  IDK, ketamine is kinda similar to alcohol; more psychedelic.

                                  It's a dissociative. Its effects are more like PCP than like alcohol. I wouldn't use the term "psychedelic" for its effects-- the biochemical pathways are different as well.

                                  Heard it messes up your bladder.

                                  The metabolites burn your bladder severely enough that you can end up pissing blood. The body load seems to be high as well, frequent users look grey and washed-out, and it damages your cognition.

                                  Never knew anyone who abused it habitually, long term.

                                  I've known a few. They started fiending like junkies, lost jobs, destroyed relationships. It's a dirty drug and, unless you're getting professional treatment for PTSD, the best advice I can give is to avoid it and to avoid people who use it.
