I installed Duck Duck Go on all my devices and then use their tracking blocker that stops all my other apps from seeing/selling my internet traffic. I also Uninstalled Google Maps and put Mapquest on my phone. Now I'm looking into non-Google/Amazon smart speakers. Not having as much progress there.

Sorry, prefer my AdBlockers to actually… block ads. None of this Manifest V3 crap

vivaldi is proprietary, but i liked vivaldi

🥰

Uh, can you stop trying to play nice with KWallet? I had to rebuild absolutely all my Vivaldi data from absolute scratch because suddenly my Sync encryption key didn't want to work anymore. KWallet devs have all the excuses in the world - make Vivaldi safe with your own SQLite encryption, PLEASE!

Thank you!

Nah. Firefox is not big tech bs and has worked great for decades. Has all the same things. Besides - you're using the Google Chromium code. The basis of the most intrusive browser in the world.

Someone pointed out they use AI, but I found that you can bypass that altogether. I’ve vetted Ecosia and have met people that actually are part of the planting of trees. It’s much better than Google and Ecosia is not stealing all my information regurgitating it and selling it.✊✊🏿✊🏽✊🏻

Considering how many background connections Vivaldi maintains for 'telemetry' this is really not a smart tree to be barking at.

On what platform? I tried on mobile and I saw a lot of AI slop but organic, not ads, as far as I understand.

thank you for your honesty! We know ad blocking is important for many, so we're working on several mprovements for our adblocker ✊

As long as I can't see your source, you're just another Big Tech wannabe.

I don't understand how having another private company in between me and an open source model (Chromium, which is already google-directed) actually challenges any status quo.

Fuck outta here with that nonsense. Firefox is fast, free, and secure. Oh, and open source unlike yours.
