No way in hell would Proton make a Chromium-based browser, the only way that would not be hypocritical is if they fully open sourced it (you could compile it yourself), and maintained their own fork completely devoid of Google tracking and telemetry.
Right now I don’t think Proton would do much better than existing options. There are browsers on different ends of the privacy to convenience spectrum (and these are all Gecko based):
Wow its that bad?
The only reason Mozilla still exists is because Google needs them to so Chrome can’t be a complete monopoly.
Yep this is exactly what I meant. Maybe I should’ve made that clear.
Are there actually Windows users that say Linux is too complicated but then jump through hoops with registry even CMD prompt?!
I’m not micromanage it, that may be a privacy tradeoff i make for convenience. I want to see what I can do without constant maintenance.
Did Obama do anything relating to this?
I guess there are still users for it.
Personally I moved on from it 4 years ago since I was using it for bookmarking and raindrop.io is designed for that and much better, though I’ve been planning on switching to something self-hosted.
I think Omnivore is a much better read it later app now.
Oh good idea
I just installed ClearURLs and it still has the tracking parameters, can I add parameters to the addon for it to remove?
I got it after make 5 aliases for 5 Reddit accounts.
This is on my paid account.
SimpleLogin premium, with their domain. But I can’t blame them for not wanting to ruin the simplelogin.com domain
How does it work though, does it use tracker lists like uBlock origin does?
I’d definitely wanna block embedded trackers though
I’m long past that, I’ve gotten LOTS of downvotes from cross-posting to too many Firefox communities, because they show up in the feed multiple times for users I think.
Yeah personally I set the tab height in my userChrome file
But couldn’t the JS runtime track which objects and variables interact with such information, so if they make any HTTP requests with the info after getting it and maybe processing it then it could be rejected?
But would it not be easy for a user to catch when the app is using the mic or camera when it’s not supposed to? the lights are an iOS feature that can’t be disabled.
Well I could do a key macro, for instance make
CMD L
doCMD L
