Agreed, it’s my favorite at the moment. Check out these alternatives as well (especially Degoogled Chromium):
Browsers (Desktop)
Browsers (Mobile)
Brave lost my support when they added the Brave Today news feed feature and defaulted all the fucking propaganda outlets on.
Nice list, huge fan of Dissenter so far. Basically Brave with even more of an emphasis on privacy.
I was a fan of Dissenter as well until another tech pede pointed out that it’s not actively being patched for security. Personally I just killed the Brave Today bullshit, but I’d go Degoogled Chromium if I didn’t want to deal with them at all.
Oh, wonderful. I didn't realize they weren't bringing in patches from Brave. (sigh)
If it became actively maintained again I do believe it would be superior. Reaching out to the current repo manager is on my to do list for this coming week. More alternatives, even more so if they’re forking a solid code base, is rarely a bad thing.
Nah thats just a front. As of now they still don't track ya. Thats what counts.
You have to look at the entire picture and scrutinize everything. You must think that shit is just an oversight but I think it's them virtue signaling to say "Please don't hate us, Silicon Valley leftists!" For fuck's sake, they have Vice, Buzzfeed and BBC on by default.
Just once I'd like to see one of these orgs recommend Breitbart on their list of defaults. Just fucking once. But you know why: the lefties would boycott if they saw that.
Well, we need to fight, too. We need to move the Overton window back. There's nothing fringe about Breitbart.
I agree. I still read breitbart but it hasn't been the same since Bannon. Who was the last writer to shake the tree Mylo? Feminism is cancer!! He was right then and still now!!
I use Naked Browser Pro for Android. It weighs in about 530kb, doesn't track, is customizable and about as fast as it gets on mobile.
Added to the list. I’ll take a look in the next couple days. I am way more open to trusting a 530KB APK than one of the 500MB “wtf is in this file” bloatfests. Thanks for the recommendation!
Yeah, the dev wrote it because he got sick and tired of all this tracking and mystery bloatware stuff. He hasn't updated in quite some time, but I don't think it's abandoned. You can write up a nice home page that supports html and java and it'll read the file off your local storage. Has dark mode, history toggle, supports bookmarklets, immersion mode, etc.. It's not for everybody, but i really love it.
I had a professor who only used a black and white text browser to limit dopamine triggers online. This was twenty years ago. Sometimes people just have the right preferences before it’s popular.
