That’s a fairly long time ago now and the crypto token crap is off by default. As far as I know they are the only browser with a paid development team that is trying to combat YouTube ads. And they’re blocking technique is unique amongst the options we have. If it comes down to using Brave for YouTube, I have no problem with doing that.
With the change in political atmosphere I suspect they’re going to get a lot more leeway to do things we don’t care for. I wonder if they could lobby to make ad blocking illegal.
HBO has always had a pretty nice spread. It’s not the newest it’s not the hottest, But there’s usually something on there that I want to watch, coming from the let’s just log in and see what there is to watch scenario. I hopped onto Max when they brought all the old cartoons over, I started ripping and stripping for all I was worth because a lot of that stuff was not readily available at the time.
Then they had their big shutdown and they lost a lot of that content and I walked away right then.
You’re still good for streaming reruns of decent rewatchable movies though I’d say more so than Netflix.
I’ve been dual welding browsers since chrome came out. The second they started talking about deprecating manifest 2, I test drove Vivaldi and Brave. Now they’re set up as my second.
I tried to convert over to Libwolf, But it absolutely massacres my passkeys.
I plan to main Firefox until they do something stupid which I think is inevitable with their recent statements.
I’m just hoping that by the time The other Firefox shoe drops there will be something else viable on the market. I don’t know how long Brave and Vivaldi can hold out with chromium changing underneath them
I strongly suspect that is exactly what they’re trying to stop.
Yeah, seems like a reboot every 24 hours you’re not unlocked would be extremely useful
I find Google docs to be sufficient for most office, But I don’t go too far into the weeds and Excel, It would probably be pretty easy have use cases where Google wouldn’t cut it for you.
The free open source office alternatives are serviceable, you could get your work done on them but they’re disappointing in some tasks.
The new Outlook app is indistinguishable from their electron app. They both suck but they’re equal.
But I provision hardware for my job so I have windows boxes sitting around if I need them.
How many times can they make use of the same set of data? Aren’t we all just leaked 50 times over by now?
It can be run in wine, but you can’t install it from the cc app and there’s no hardware acceleration, so it’s kind of a pig.
Honestly, if you’re stuck with windows anyway, you’re probably better off with linux in the VM or just using WSL.
I’m fairly certain he just tell you if you got him doing his rambling thing.
