Eh, on Linux, it’s probably in your package manager, and likely already installed. Just be careful with Ubuntu since they use snaps.

Nonsense like this is why I no longer use Ubuntu (or anything else downstream of Canonical, or anything with Snaps).

A really good chrome clone using Firefox. It’s my go-to browser.

Only issue is that it’s a little slower to update than Firefox direct.

Since January 2018, 42% of malicious extensions use the Web Request API.

That’s like making knifes illegal in general because they have been used in a certain amount of murder cases.

Indeed. What a f-ing stupid argument: “We cannot trust the extensions that the user installed, therefor we give malware from advertisers free roam!”

If 42% of crimes used a handgun, we should ban those too.

You just made the argument for gun rights.

Definitely not. Gun ownership should be abolished like slavery was. A knife has good use for cutting and cooking, but a gun, especially in private hands, has absolutely no reason to exist.

Americans phrase it a bit different:

So you completely accept the state’s monopoly on violence, and you also don’t think farmers should be allowed to shoot pests?

This is a statement made by someone who lives in a political and ecological bubble.

I mean it’s just a browser. Bit of fiddling with the saved password and your go to go again to never look back. If they value their users they will improve again like Firefox did in the background over years.

I only hope a good search engine will appear again. I don’t like the alternatives.

I have been using swisscows for about a month. It’s no Google… But it seems to be better than what Google is now…

If you are smart, you have a password manager that you login once then everything is there and ready to login to every single account instantly.
