Like with fucking, friction is the difference between pleasure and pain. If I click a YT link and the video starts playing, no lag, no buffering, just plays, I will come back.

I tried to watch the French dude describing Texas, hosted on Peertube. It took 17 minutes, 3 attempts, 2 error messages, lag while playing.

Can’t change the paradigm with thrift.

Very constructive comment. There is no perfect browser, dude, but I wouldn’t call Vivaldi garbage. They are really trying to make a difference with the technology at hand. I mean, it is kind of hard to make a browser from scratch.

Vivaldi. Edge for testing. FF dev edition is garbage. Glitchy, inconsistent, and blunt.

Thinking about this, the only ancient information we are still able to access is painted or edged on stone or clay. How about some sort huge wall with thousands of QRcode like engravings?

Their question is: how much would you pay for not using a Chromium based browser?

People switching to the browser and zapping all ads, demanding open source and vitriol for any kind of monetization. How can they survive? They would have to become a subsidized utility, which not even the Internet as a whole has achieved.

Don’t even use the $10 premium features but will keep paying for it. Even if that was twice, I will pay it.

I started paying for Kagi. Works like Google in 2019. Fast, useful and customizable. One of the best features is hiding results from shit sites like Reddit, which blocks me for using a VPN. $10 well spent just to have that option.

Agh, gross.

I started using Xiaomi Redmi Note 7pro back in 2019 and have upgraded every year. At $300 average price tag, it is a fantastic device. HyperOS is really good and my current Redmi Note 13pro came with some garbage but it was easy to remove/disable.

Elom should buy CrowdStrike, rename it clownstrike, send the DMCA, and then run it into the ground like Twitter.

So? Vivaldi is FAR superior to any other browser, even Chrome engine base ones. With the amount of customization, privacy and full Chrome plug in ecosystem support, being close source is hardly relevant.
