The browser that...

...was caught manipulating links to shopping sites to pay itself kickbacks?

...mined crypto in the background?

...installed a VPN without user consent or prompt?

...sells user data to AI developers?

Hard pass. Firefox and ublock origins get the job done just fine. On mobile ideally Fennec or IceFox, they remove the telemetry as well.

Never liked alcohol much, and while getting a nice weed buzz every now and again is fun to chill out, I do that twice a year at most. For me it's all about finding something that is both interesting, entertaining and calming at the same time. I get that from woodworking or general DIY stuff, reading, and Yoga. But everybody is different.

Anything that restricts using an item I purchased is basically malware and must be removed. If I can't find DRM-free alternatives of a book I want to read, I'll rather pirate it than spend money on something the publisher/platform can recall or even change after I purchased it.

Huh? I don't use a VPN unless I want to watch geoblocked content, and adblocking works just fine without.

Free access to "radical" ideas doesn't bode well with conservative governments.

Only if they are unable to care for themselves and do not qualify for subsidies/grants.
