Chrome is the only browser doing OOBE right.
Look at FireFox. What the fuck is this shit? A browser claiming to fight for my privacy rights has facebook. How do you explain to someone that Google Chrome is is borderline malware and FireFox is better for their privacy, when they look like this? On top of that it wants to show me news based on my browsing habbits.
Opera is adware at this point. You pay to get your articles on user's new tab page, and that's about it.
You're retarded if you don't understand the reasoning. Each major browser needs to make money to keep such large projects going. Chrome gathers your browsing data and sells it to make money. It also "scans" computers for "malware". I dont want google scanning all my computer files. Opera also makes it impossible to disable everything. That's why they dont need to take donations. Firefox takes donations with the option to remove all telemetry. And you don't have to use the default startpage or pocket. How does this not make sense?
>Look at FireFox. What the fuck is this shit? A browser claiming to fight for my privacy rights has facebook.
It lists the top sites in your country. Don't like it then it can be changed easily.
>How do you explain to someone that Google Chrome is is borderline malware and FireFox is better for their privacy, when they look like this?
Chrome doesn't show any other websites on start because Google makes its money from datamining so its in their interest not to recommend Facebook.
>On top of that it wants to show me news based on my browsing habbits.
Everything is done locally so there's no violation of privacy.
>It also "scans" computers for "malware".
All browsers do this. And all browsers use Google's service.
Try Vivaldi. Maybe
Aren't top sites customized to you?
No they don't, not like Chrome. I'm using Firefox without any google services.
>Everything is done locally so there's no violation of privacy.
Except they report click through rates to advertisers.
Why the fuck are people using default startpages and not disabling pocket?!
Bloatware.
I removed that completely from my FireFox install. I removed all the system addons from my Fx install actually.
Maybe Falkon
you use windows 10
Firefox has long not been privacy friendly. It's becoming increasingly obvious they'd rather sell out and focus on the mainstream, even though they offer absolutely nothing over chrome if you don't care about privacy.
About:config can still fix most things but the question is for how much longer.
>Opera is adware at this point. You pay to get your articles on user's new tab page
You can disable it though, along with the rest of the bloat. The unlimited VPN is the only reason I'm still using it at this point.
Edge.
?
Same as Opera. Actually even worse.
>edge
>adware
You're full of shit.
>Not one decent Web browser left
Waterfox.
It's Firefox, except it really respects your rights and privacy.
You have to go back.
how do you get netflix to work on it?
Try Brave if you like Chrome, and Waterfox if you like Firefox.
When the mainstream platforms are corrupt and there no real alternative platform, forks are the way to go.
use safari like real men do.
>how do you get netflix to work on it?
You have to activate Encrypted Media Extensions (EME) that are disabled by default for not respecting your rights.
Also, don't use Netflix, they're fucking cunts, just use TPB.
Yea, but how long will it last?
lol
>Brave
Enjoy being sold. And cucked.
Well, I'm a woman.
thanks, and i dont use it myself, only with other people
wtf im the same as you
>Yea, but how long will it last?
?
How should I know? You can tell that for literally anything.
The day it'll be shit, I'll change. It's a browser, not a house, you can change in a few minutes if the previous one goes to shit.
>Enjoy being sold. And cucked.
How so?
>you can change in a few minutes
Not really, no. It has all my login cookies, thousands of bookmarks, customisation (both from a usability pov and visual), addons, etc.
That browser is an adware.
You sound retarded.
How come?
>That browser is an adware.
How so?
Tracks you and shows you their own ads.
>not using qutebrowser
The vast majority of this is trivial to redo and the rest of it is literally nonsense (addons are developed to a standardized browser-addon interface nowadays and it took me all of fifteen seconds to work out how to export/import bookmarks in Firefox).
How do you manage to use any software whatsoever if one of your requirements is "there must be no chance of it ever going bad at any point in the future" and you aren't willing to put in the bare minimum of effort to switch to a new one if that happens?
Chromium browsers won't import my bookmarks properly. I have many folders and will result in a hodge-podge. It will work only on Gecko-based, and only on recent versions (i.e it won't even work importing them on something based on Fx 56 or older).
>Tracks you and shows you their own ads.
Source?
It's the main "feature" of the browser.
>It's the main "feature" of the browser.
You still haven't given me the source.
>It lists the top sites in your country
>It lists the top sites in your country
The real top sites would be Google + the dest all porn
*rest
Such a feature would not work without tracking.
>Such a feature would not work without tracking.
You still haven't given me the source.
The fact that they show you their own ads is the source.
i'd legit pay 50 bucks for a browser that wasn't a piece of shit.
So you have no source and are a liar.
lel, the botnet is there.
>Well, I'm a woman.
TITS OR GTFO!!!
LMAO!!! I sure told her, didn't I, my fellow dudes? :^) All women are slutwhores
What, an OPT-IN option?
Is that your """botnet"""?
Something that does not exist except if you explicitly activate it?
Are you retarded?
>*sudden anger creeps in*
Ahahahaha, did I touch a nerve?
this but unironically
?
That's it?
You're already out of arguments?
So you had no source from the beginning, huh.
You're one of those gullible retard that see things being said a few times on Jow Forums and automatically believes it to be the truth.
Fair enough.
Brave, Falkon, and Firefox are the only nice ones left.
I'm sorry mate, you lost the argument. You've lost your temper too, lol. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'll go celebrate my victory with a beer.
>Firefox
>nice
In what universe?
Jesus Christ, how cringy can one individual even be.
Only a carat smiley is lacking.
>Firefox has facebook
Facebook is a website. Are you asking that firefox specifically blocks facebook for some arbitrary reason?
>cringy
Words of a brave cuck :^)
By default it promotes it. They even had that "share" initiative few years back.
>:^)
I laughed.
You know damn well it isn't "just a website" to firefox. Much like the search engine isn't "magically" defaulting to google for no reason. They're getting paid, stop making silly excuses for these retarded browser maintainers.
The sponsored tiles for home page is one of the thing that Waterfox disabled when forking.
>The day it'll be shit, I'll change. It's a browser, not a house,
What do you do when all the houses come with obligatory printables preinstalled CCTV, Alexa and Google Home in every room that too can't turn off? And all old houses without them she have any roads leading to them?
>What do you do when all the houses come with obligatory printables preinstalled CCTV, Alexa and Google Home in every room that too can't turn off? And all old houses without them she have any roads leading to them?
That day will be a sad day, but that day has yet to come, nor do I ever see it coming.
Do you have an idea, an alternative, or do you just intend to whine?
It doesn't really promote it. If your specifically avoiding facebook your not gonna click it just because its there, and if you use facebook it just makes it more convenient. Its a popular website and thats why its there.
The share initiative wasn't great but at least its gone now.
You think Facebook is paying them for a spot on the homescreen which can easily be removed by people that don't use facebook? Until I see proof otherwise I highly doubt there's any collusion going on. Facebook and google are 2 of the most popular web services so defaulting with them isn't surprising, and it doesn't imply there's some funny business going on.
Also yes, in the context I was talking in facebook is just a website.
>not one decent web browser left
*blocks your path*
>You think Facebook is paying them for a spot on the homescreen which can easily be removed by people that don't use facebook?
This is the same sort of rhetoric people used about search engine defaults.
>YA RLY THINK GOOGLE IS PAYING THEM? LOL NO THE SEARCH ENGINE JUST GOOD!
I'm not saying its because the search engine is good, but its because its the most widely used. As well as that, people that have concerns about privacy are usually more than willing to put the extra effort into setting a different search engine or anything else they need to do, whereas the masses who don't care that much will just give up if the default isn't the one they know and use often.
If you're issue with firefox is that it should be helping to promote the more privacy focussed services thats absolutely fair enough and I'd agree with that. But I doubt its some collusion between google and firefox, unless you can prove me wrong.
You really believe this?
Which is false, the choice wasn't made because it was widely used but because THEY PAID FOR IT.
well now I'm convinced. I know I said before I needed some evidence for that but it turns out just echoing it several times in all caps did the job
Hello Red.dit
Look, I know it's made by retarded commies and all, but they made the GUI better and it's faster than Chrome now.
Firefox is not made by commies. It's made by SJW libtards. If it was made by commies it would have been good, because they hire based on skill, not muh diversity (muh 50% negroid developers). Fx is rubbish nowadays.
Make a better browser then, fucktard.
>Firefox is not made by commies
Daily reminder that Mozilla gave 100,000 dollars to RiseUp, a far-left Anarcho-Communist group that works with branches of AntiFa and such.
>If it was made by commies it would have been good, because they hire based on skill
You never read a history book, have you.
Firefox is good because those who made the platform years ago were good.
Now it's a bunch of shitskins resting on the shoulder of giants.
Prove it can't all be disable one way or another. Until then, yes.
Safari is great
Fuck google, I can't remove that ass-shit google bar in the new tab now thanks to the removal of encrypted google.
THIS!
Why are people still wondering which browser to use?
>Well, I'm a woman.
If you have a penis you sure aren't.
>use TPB
nigga what
>recommends tbp
Are you some kind of retard? Is this bait?
No, I don't have one.
*Were born with a penis.
This is Jow Forums, what do you expect me to think.
open bobs
>"has facebook"
You mean it has a bookmark to Facebook? Jesus fucking Christ, you are stupid.
It has facebook.
>trying to learn qutebrowser
>wanting to go back to the simplicity of chrome
so this is what it feels like to be a brainlet
