"Exclusive: #OpenAI to release #webBrowser in challenge to #Google #Chrome"

Great news everybody

Instead of Google suctioning up all of your personal info, now people can eagerly rush to have all of their personal info suctioned up by an #enshittification manipulation hallucination #AI interface

Personally, I'm waiting for #Thiel's #Palantir #web #browser! Woo hoo! (/s)

The browser I use on Android (Fennec F-Droid) just switched my default search engine back to Goggle, and what's worse, completely removed Mojeek and Brave as search options. This is an anti-feature!

It would be great if F-Droid builds of Android browsers stripped out the code that pulls dick moves like this.

»Firefox experimentiert mit neuer Suchmaschine:
Mit der neuen KI-Funktion möchte Mozilla seinen Nutzerinnen und Nutzern ermöglichen, dialogorientierte Antworten auf Fragen zu erhalten.«

Nutzt dies wer von euch schon und wie ist es zum nutzen? Wird dies evt auch von @librewolf übernomen und sind KI Suchmaschinen wirklich besser als bisherige? Ich bin skeptisch hatte dies aber noch nie genutzt.

"(...) #Chrome von #Google ist der mit Abstand beliebteste #Webbrowser weltweit. Seine Schnelligkeit und Benutzerfreundlichkeit haben Millionen Menschen überzeugt. Doch hinter der glänzenden Oberfläche verbirgt sich ein mächtiges Datensammel-Werkzeug. Was viele Nutzer nicht wissen: Chrome protokolliert nahezu jede Ihrer Online-Aktivitäten und sendet diese Informationen an Google. Selbst der vermeintlich sichere Inkognito-Modus bietet keinen echten Schutz. Welche Daten Google tatsächlich sammelt und welche Alternativen Ihre Privatsphäre besser schützen."
Wow, die FR hat's geschnallt: fr.de/produktempfehlung/millio

New software review on my website!

Orion Browser
★★★★★

A Mac-native WebKit browser from Kagi that's more advanced than Safari, slightly cleaner than Arc or Zen, and can run Chromium/Firefox extensions. I may be sticking with this as my main web browser on macOS.

Pi-hole takes over as your network name server, and silently redirects all web requests to known ad-server addresses to a #DNS sinkhole.

I am once again faced with the bleak irony of people who install onto their computer some 5 or 10 apps via FlatPak or Docker, including VSCode, each installed with their own entire copies of Node.js and Electron.js (differing only in their minor revision number), while also complaining about Emacs being “bloated” because it ships with a miniature web browser and fully-featured e-mail client.

Alright, trying to leave both Chrome and Firefox at the same time is difficult, especially because I always use multiple browsers at the same time (to separate accounts for this or that without having to switch accounts constantly). My current browser number three is Opera and so far, I'm not touching it (we'll see in the future).

My questions are basically: are LibreWolf and Vivaldi viable replacements as main browsers?

My main concerns are whether LibreWolf is mature enough and if both allow syncing between different devices (as I regularly use three computers).

Any constructive feedback is welcome.

(suggesting me to use that another browser I haven't mentioning without explaining why in detail is not constructive feedback, thank you)
