I've seen a lot of people say to use the Brave browser. But I've also seen people say that they do not like the browser. Unsure why, though. In my research, it seems that Brave is just a fork off of Chrome... so basically Chrome with a fancy ad-blocker?
I checked out Gab today and saw they had a browser too... Dissenter... and seems to be open-source.
If you've used or know about these, what are your experiences with these browsers? What do you use (even if not these two)? Why?
I no longer want to support tech companies that disrespect we the people, America and its values at large.
Bonus for any other advice regarding replacing tech services elsewhere, such as email, cloud storage, VPN. Thanks for reading! :)
What do you do in regards to storage if you do not use cloud storage? I have lots of work files I need stored and accessible from multiple points. I also just have a lot of hobby photography. I could store them on external harddrives... but I guess I would need more than one in case one stops working to avoid data loss.
welcome to informatics basics.You can carry an usb on you, have usb drives everywhere you go, either SSd or sticks ,etc.And it's your responsibility to backup your data on a local drive either automatically or manually. The data spys and sensors want you to rely on this tiny bit of convenience ( access to data from everywhere without carrying it ) in order to get ALL your data.
Regarding local and external drives, do you have any suggestions in regards to brands with a good track record (or perhaps just ones to avoid)? I had a Western Digital for 8 years before it crapped out. I know drives don't last forever, but I was disappointed with losing it, especially since I used it as infrequent backup and never really read much off of it.
And regarding automatically backing up to a drive, is there any programs in particular you recommend? I haven't considered automation... I always figured it had to be something I would manually need to do.
Thanks again for your suggestions and advice.
