fuuuuuuck hulk hogan, that racist maga supporting piece of shit is looking up at us now 🙏

They do, but just like anything dealing with security or privacy, there are degrees of inconvenience and "breaking" that are not suited for every situation.

Firefox is a good default, but if you want more privacy, LibreWolf is an option. LibreWolf configures more settings by default to protect your privacy— but these come at a cost. The cost being that more websites are likely to break and/or need "fixing". Look at the list of features that LibreWolf may break here [0]. This is not a browser for your general family or someone who just wants things to "work".

Interestingly, LibreWolf disable Google Safe Browsing, which they actually recommend you enable as Firefox has implemented it in a privacy preserving way. The devs disable it by default in LibrewWolf for a semi-technical reason [1]. Without Google Safe Browsing you will not get warned about dangerous sites known for phishing, malware, or unwanted software. Technically inclined people may not want this, but I would never disable this feature for friends/family as that would put them at risk.

Lastly, if your friends/family ran into website that doesn't work, they will not be troubleshooting the problem or trying to find a workaround. They will uninstall the browser and go running back to Chrome- this is the fine line that Firefox needs to navigate to ensure they protect user privacy, but don't inconvenience those who don't have the technical chops or patience.

Right? If anything I think the web is having its renaissance moment with distributed/federated platforms like piefed, lemmy, kbin/mbin, bookwyrm, peertube, mastodon, pixelfed, misskey, matrix, XMPP, Deltachat, nostr, etc.

Why would anyone listen to pedophile don?

The only real answer - same as with any other software/code.

Devil's advocate:

Mozilla needs a fat paycheck or the whole show stops, we all lose and are forced to use a chrome-based browser. Firefox is the only real alternative and thanks to their work we have, in no particular order:

• Floorp (floorp.app)
• GNU IceCat (icecatbrowser.org)
• LibreWolf (librewolf.net)
• Zen Browser (zen-browser.app)
• Mullvad (mullvad.net)
• Tor Browser (torproject.org)

That doesn't mean Mozilla hasn't made bad decisions, they absolutely have. But to claim they should stop receiving nearly half a billion dollars every year from their competitor makes zero sense, especially considering developing a web browser is about as difficult as it gets. You'd be destroying the only alternative and helping Google mop the floor with the pieces that remain.

fuck anything jack dorsey touches.

ahhh I see it now. I was scanning the URL and thought it was the same. didn't catch the end piece that makes it link out to other platforms. TIL. thanks!

the tidal link? that's all I can see and it doesn't play back for me. figured I'm not the only one. maybe I'm missing something?

Ironically staying home may help more than protesting as it denies Trump the ability to declare martial law due to "riots" — AKA peaceful protests turned violent by police. Basically just wait it out until midterms and hope for the best, assuming voting isn't completely fucked by then and that people have learned from their mistakes and turn out in droves for the opposite of Trump. But you can't tell people to stay home, they're angry, rightfully, and want answers and their families back.

I don't see this getting any better. Anyone have a more optimistic take?
