Note: This setup is both for my android and pc Edit: For those recommending paid services and selfhosting, I don’t have the money nor resources for either. Also it seams some people are confusing my android setup with my PC setup so I’ll write it down. Android: Brave(movies) + Ironfox, Search: Brave + DDG, VPN: Proton ( not always on), GPay = Cash, Auth= Aegis Auth, Pass: KeepassDX, PC: Firefox= Librewolf, VPN = No VPN (VERY slow internet), Search: Searxng + DDG, Pass: KeepassXC,

        Still a proprietary black box you shouldn’t trust and chromium based so you reinforce the chromium monopoly

          Why is vivaldi helping a chromium monopoly?

          I understand it is based on chrome tech, and I guess that means it can use chrome extensions maybe? But how does it help chrome if people use it?

            It uses Google’s browser engine base called Chromium, which Chrome is based on (the used engine is called “Blink”). A lot of websites are made to just function well on Chromium and maybe Safari

              Isn’t that more on the site creators? I have a handful of sites and web apps I don’t have a choice to simply avoid because of job-related requirements. I’ve tried a bunch of other approaches, but keeping a Chromium browser installed has, so far, been the least painful way to get through my normal work days.

                That’s on corporate sites just saving work or intentionally obstructing and restricting Firefox because Google basically a monopoly.

                For me personally Firefox (and it’s engine Gecko) work fine for 99% of websites I visit.

    Would switch Organic Maps to its fork CoMaps. (See: this open letter)

    And I would never recommend Brave as the first choice; it’s run by a shady corporation and reinforces Chromium’s hegemony.

    I think it’d also be reasonable to add ProtonMail to email and Mullvad to VPN since you can have multiple.
