@Alice But the joke was on how the peers collect and use data, not on the browser's usefulness 😅
-
@Alice Yeah, on that, I have had to write ugly work arounds to make some CSS/JavaScript code work, but all of these folks are filling in the gap as they progress. But whenever I want to go low key, I use Firefox because apparently using incognito also showed me targeted ads.

Adwonno3586y@A4Abhiraj What do you think about brave (the browser) ^^
If you care about privacy, I think this is a good one -
@RedzTwist Haven't tried that one. Will give it a roll and see. I have checked duckduckgo though.
The problem with any browser apart from the 3-4 known ones is that websites don't optimize themselves beyond these well-known browsers.
Also the sync utilities provided by chrome outweigh everything else.
But yeah, when privacy/tracking is the concern, and I want to do unbiased searches for any kind of research, I use these things. -
Adwonno3586y@A4Abhiraj It is chrome based so if the site is optimised for chrome it will look nice, but some sites won't work because brave blocks any trackers and adds by default (but you can re enable adds)

VaderNT16176y> Firefox asks you what you want.
More like "Firefox orders you a 'Mr. Robot' drink that makes text appear upside down".
Firefox is no saint. -
@jareish Edge isn't at the party because it's late.
Update - Edge is moving to V8 scrapping Chakra
