Tbh the homophobia was just the last straw on the hill of crypto nonsense they piled on the browser over the years. I’ve been increasingly uncomfortable with Brave the more “fluff” they added, so going back to bare Ungoogled Chromium has been pretty good.
I used Feedly for many years, but recently switched to Newsblur, and I love that it lets me filter out posts by tags or keywords, finally don’t have to use external tools for it.
it was a similar article that made me switch from Brave to Ungoogled Chromium a few weeks ago, as a backup browser for the handful of sites that don’t work in Firefox.
Üdv! Bár én sem élek Mo-n, de azért vannak azért még független, magas színvonalú médiumok, pl.: hírekre Telex vagy 24.hu, mélyebb oknyomozó anyagokra Átlátszó vagy Direkt36.
Mo-n élő családtagoktól is azt hallom, hogy az ország egyre menetel a fasizmus irányába, Orbán bandája már minden állami intézményt kifosztott, a szegényekre és kisebbségekre pedig nagyon rájár a rúd. És nem tűnik úgy, hogy ez akár középtávon is változna.
I also have limited understanding, but these are huge corporations with huge userbases. If they start giving “helpful” input on how the ActivityPub protocol should develop, it may exert a strong pressure/influence due to their sheer size.
I know it’s not the same situation, but it reminds me of how Google keeps trying to push shady stuff into Chromium, even though it’s supposed to be free, open-source software.
I think this is their attempt to EEE (Embrace, Extend, Extinguish) the Fediverse, so I’m strongly in favour of immediately defederating corporate instances as soon as they are created.
