Mag al drie dagen geen YouTube meer kijken van YouTube, omdat mijn browsers advertentie blokkeerders hebben. Een beetje erg, maar de voorraad aan alternatieven maakt het meer dan goed: PeerTube, Rumble, FreeTube, noem ze maar op. 🙂

"Krijg het schijt" is al even de attitude naar zulke aanbieders. Het werkt serieus kalmerend ook.

I've stopped using Firefox since the drama a while back... Using #ZenBrowser and #LibreWolf mainly on macOS and on #Android, #Ironfox and #Cromite (as an alt browser). But I'm having quite a lot of website functionality problems when using Ironfox. Can't create accounts, forms not working, can't use #webauthn, pages not loading correctly, checkouts or shopping sites broken, etc. I guess I need to have #Firefox still installed... It's annoying. What's your workaround? #browsers #androidbrowser

Some good ideas from commenter Person McPersonface:

> "Web #browsers should use colors and UI elements in the address bar and when hovering over links to help the user parse URLs. Show what’s the TLD, what’s the main domain, what’s the subdomains, etc. Be clear about whether you have visited this site before or not, and don’t leave it up to the CSS. Be clear about whether you have this domain in your bookmarks or not. The URL should be right in your face when hovering over a link, not down in a corner in small type. Show a big warning when the displayed URL and actual URL don’t match."

These are things it would be nice to see #Firefox tackling instead of, you know, forcing AI down the throats of a user base that despises it.

> "Email clients should never hide email addresses. Show them, help the user parse them like the URLs in browsers. As mentioned, show the user when they have never received mail from an address before. Hint when sender name and email matches poorly."

Also sounds very doable.
#Thunderbird ..?

@GossiTheDog @signalapp it merely prevents #Screenshots by claiming it's #DRM'd content.

The correct solution for #Signal would be to alert all their users and specifically block #Windows in general or at least #Windows11 simply because it is a #Govware and empirically cannot be made private or secure.

But that would require them to actually give a shit, which thed don't, cuz otherwise they would've stopped demanding #PII like a #PhoneNumber and moved out of juristiction of #CloudAct.

  • I mean, what's gonna prevent the #Trump-Regime from threatening @Mer__edith et. al. with lifetime in jail for not kicking the #ICC (or anyone else he and his fans dislike) from #Signal's infrastructure?

Since they are highly centralized.they certainly are capable to comply with "#Sanctions" (or whatever bs he'll claim!)...

The internet is shit.
All browsers are shit.

The Fediverse is not perfect and Fediverse clients have some flaws, but still I wish I'd never have to visit the rest of the internet ever again.

What are you missing in the Fediverse, so you wouldn't have to use any other part of the internet again?

(If you answer AI or crypto I'll report and block you.)
(I'll give my answers in the thread.)

A guide to which browsers collect the most data, some of the results may surprise you.

Chrome is by far the worst, with safari close behind.

The Tor Browser shares zero info of any kind, with anyone period, With Brave being one of the most Private on the list.

The TYPE of data shared is relevant, for example Firefox, although sharing a moderate amount of Data, mostly shares diagnostic data, but not user content.
