    If an internet person says it and I want it, it has to be true.

      The only problem is it isn’t based on Chromium tho. That just doesn’t suffice anymore.

      I was an avid Firefox user for years and librewolf user for a year after that, but unfortunately, FF hasn’t been able to keep up in terms of web standards.

      More and more I kept having pages just not work. I ended up having to install a backup Chromium-based browser bc critical websites like my banking and loan sites only worked on Chromium-based browsers. Eventually, I caved. If I had to have a second,Chromium-based browser anyway, I might as well just use that for everything.

      I wanted to not use Chromium, but FF has lost the war. Chromium runs the show now. No more fighting back. Google owns the internet.

      So now I’m on Brave, and honestly it’s way better than Librewolf these days. I would recommend any librewolf user switch over to that.

      Yeah, I’ve used websites like that. So I told Firefox to spoof my user agent to be chrome and now I just use those websites anyway.

      I’m not interested in handing my data over to Palantir any more than I am to Google, so I’m not going to use Brave.

        The only things I’ve encountered that don’t work are webusb things and snapchat but snapchat you can just change user agent and it’s fine.

              I believed the same things… in around 2014. By internet standards, that’s an absolutely ancient perspective, and absolutely untrue these days. My main browser is Floorp, a Firefox fork, and I’ve found a total of one website that actually doesn’t work, which was just a huge directory listing.

                  Peter Thiel is a major backer of Brave. Additionally, Brave has done other scummy things, like injecting their own referral IDs on some pages and trading user user privacy for money by unblocking trackers from companies that pay them.

                    Peter Thiel has invested in Brave. He also owns Palantir, the biggest corporate espionage agency on the planet, which contracts with the Department of Defense to build the largest government surveillance network in history expressly for the purpose of tracking every American, and has used that network to hunt down immigrants for ICE.

                    Taking that all into account, I find it beyond belief that Brave isn’t a part of that network, and I’m not interested in using it on the off chance that it isn’t.

                        https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/poob

                        From Proto-Hmong *pʉŋᴬ (“to fall”), probably borrowed from Middle Chinese 崩 (MC pong, “to collapse, crumble”).[1]

                        1. to lose, fail
                          Nws poob nyiaj rau kev twv txiaj. ― He loses money to gambling.
                          Nws poob hoob. ― He fails a class

                        Darn that Proto-Hmong crowd and their modern, trendy words.

                          I actually thought that was interesting. What I really didn’t like is not being able to just set a theme, and when I finally got to the color picker thing it just wouldn’t let me set proper full black (oled). Once themes are easier and it has tree style tabs (like sideberry - not those folders) I would consider switching again.

                              You can switch to the legacy new tab behavior via about:config, see https://docs.zen-browser.app/user-manual/urlbar#enable-legacy-new-tab-mechanism

                                theres an about:config setting thats something like replace.newtab and if you set it to false it brings back new tabs. you can also set the urlbar behavior to normal and it will stop floating

                                  That’s “Floorp”, not to be confused with “Florp”, which I see on Weebly:

                                    I use Librewolf with a slightly edited Cascade CSS theme, plus the Catppuccin color palette. Works great and looks nice.

                                      I do the same. Some websites will not work claiming Firefox is not supported, but do some user agent spoofing and suddenly it works just fine. Just goes to show it is not actually the web engine that’s the problem.

                                        The only problem is it isn’t based on Chromium tho. That just doesn’t suffice anymore.

                                        I was an avid Firefox user for years and librewolf user for a year after that, but unfortunately, FF hasn’t been able to keep up in terms of web standards.

                                        More and more I kept having pages just not work. I ended up having to install a backup Chromium-based browser bc critical websites like my banking and loan sites only worked on Chromium-based browsers. Eventually, I caved. If I had to have a second,Chromium-based browser anyway, I might as well just use that for everything.

                                        I wanted to not use Chromium, but FF has lost the war. Chromium runs the show now. No more fighting back. Google owns the internet.

                                        So now I’m on Brave, and honestly it’s way better than Librewolf these days. I would recommend any librewolf user switch over to that.

                                        This is all kinds of wrong. Fuck Brave and fuck Chromium.

                                          I believed the same things… in around 2014. By internet standards, that’s an absolutely ancient perspective, and absolutely untrue these days. My main browser is Floorp, a Firefox fork, and I’ve found a total of one website that actually doesn’t work, which was just a huge directory listing.
