@noybeu FFS, can't a man get a break from all this tracking bullshit for a millisecond?

@noybeu I'm starting to not know what to even do these days. I switch to one thing because another is really horrible and then that thing goes bad. Chrome was becoming *HORRIBLE* for privacy/etc (as well as all those quadrillions of Chromium clones) so I switched to Firefox. Then they started doing opt out on a tracking mechanism just as I was finally settling in. At this point I'm really kind of done with it. But I'm sure as heck not going back to Chrome/Chromium.
For now I'm trying Vivaldi. I hope I can rely on it. But who even knows anymore. At least from what I can tell as an end user it *seems* to be more privacy supporting (everything privacy related is opt in rather than opt out I think and even then it's just stuff like send crash reports.)

"not going back to Chromium" […] "trying Vivaldi"
Heh? That makes no sense. Vivaldi is a closed-source proprietary fork of Chromium.
-
@nik @noybeu Open source by the people who wanted to move away from making it so heavily Chromium based.
To be clear, my point wasn't "hey, let's all rush over to this thing." The point was "I'm getting desperate and trying stuff I normally wouldn't try in the desperate hopes to escape this hot mess."

@nazokiyoubinbou @noybeu It is not open source. This page only holds dumps of the parts they need to open-source because they are Chromium-based. Everything they developed on top is not open-source.

@noybeu If anyone is upset and overwhelmed with settings for #firefox try using #librewolf to stay away from #chrome
