The legal grounds: it is ok when we do it. This is just old fashioned piracy, but of course you’ll try to justify it.

China bad, West good, we got it. Let’s go kill them, just to make western chauvinists happy.

No need to guess, about 70 people die each year from eating green potatoes.

Ah yes, they should be like the Canadians and concern themselves with territory near Nova Scotia and send their ships there; you know, totally sensible stuff.

Do you know anything about nightshades? Cause they’ve been killing people for thousands of years.

Russia doesn’t control party sizes.

No. Couldn’t care less what the founder did or didn’t do. We need as many non-Google browsers as possible. The problem with Brave is that it is a chromium browser.

My parents are overbearing, clingy,and guilt trippers; I haven’t committed any murders yet.

Did you receive any feedback on this? I can’t seem to use search properly and can’t find what the syntax is.

Nothing wrong with brave, people being overly dramatic about issues with the founder.

Yea I just realized what sub this is, I wasn’t aware before. I definitely didn’t mean that it is a private browser. But still, realistically, what can the Russians or Chinese do to me or my data? The danger comes from my government/EU.

Oh I didn’t realize what sub I was on. Sorry. Now the interactions make much more sense. Obviously, Yandex isn’t recommended for privacy.

Have you tried Yandex? Other than being Russian, it is a great browser. And instead of having to use search operators, rephrase or click verbatim on Google to find something, Yandex actually gives you proper search results, especially in photos. It is like Google before 2016. I used Lynx years ago, totally forgot about it.

What can the Russian government realistically do to me?

My government is the one that can ruin my life.

If they were run by techies, they’d do even more damage. Authoritarianism is the issue, not tech literacy.

Unfortunately, this is gonna happen and worse. We lost the fight for the internet in 2006, and we’re watching it die. No joke, I started using yandex browser and search since Google ruined theirs, and it is close to perfect. Waterfox is my backup.

Am guessing you don’t have kids…
