Is there any reason to use this over Librewolf?

average Phoronix forum user unfortunately 💀

but Phoronix’ journalism is good

(which is why I only read the articles through my RSS readers and never go on the site or associated forums)

Maybe CalyxOS would be a better fit then?

I’m so glad the project isn’t stale, thank you devs! I have been using Voyager the last few months but nothing is quite on the lvl of Eternity

(and tbh Voyager feels too iOS-y for me)

seems like a good middle ground tbh. No cryptocurrency will ever reach the adoption of fiat. This could make online transactions that would otherwise be made over your creditcard, bank or insert fintech like Paypal quite a bit better

And I’d rather have this than a “digital Euro” or “digital Yuan”

Librewolf is also available as a Flatpak

It has no large community nor an organization behind it.
Leading to a lot of trouble for me personally, it’s the 2nd month now (after multiple updates) that my Gnome wayland desktop hasn’t been working properly at all (like xwayland programmes displaying as a blank transparency, me not being able to start certain ones) and switching to X11 works but it’s buggy af and sometimes freezes for a few second

I suspect that it has been a problem with the nvidia driver after having updated it and I have never had those problems before

Don’t get me wrong Glorious Eggroll is doing good work but qa (due to size) leaves smth do be desired

I regret ever having switched to the amateur distro that is Nobara bc I was too lazy to set up Feodra a 2nd time after the Grub fiasco Arch (and thus my daily driver back then EndeavourOS) had lol

Will switch the second OpenSuSe Slowroll becomes stable

iirc with OpenSuse or Fedora, Secureboot works quite easily too

Google is a tech giant, which abuses peoples privacy with every click

Their phones enable users to (at least partially) escape that bs

that’s what I found to be ironic

this is an article from (imo) one of the best privacy/security tech-blogs out there

it’s in German, but you can probably run it through Firefox local translate

I literally mentioned Calyx and Divest OS as alternatives which support non-google devices

also how is buying a used Pixel and degoogling it to the max with GrapheneOS (with reasonable compromises like optional sandboxed GMS) helping Google?
Didn’t know that cutting their mal-/spyware out, and trying to avoid them and their services wherever possible actually helped them, silly me 🤷‍♀️
(I assume this to be the standard way for most ppl and plan on doing that as well once my current Huawei phone breaks)

please learn to read before insulting other ppl with your less-than-a-day-old account lol

From their FAQ it’s great and covers a lot of questions better than I ever could):

What is AdNauseam’s performance like? Will it speed up or slow down my browsing? AdNauseam is significantly faster (and safer) than using either of the two most popular blockers, Adblock or Adblock Plus, and nearly twice as fast as using no blocker at all. Metrics with more browsers and adblockers on the way…

It is ironic, but that’s the best you can get in terms of security on Android, which is why GrapheneOS supports nothing else

Lineage OS is a shitshow when it comes to privacy and security

(no locked bootloader, using Google DNS by default)

From what I understand, GrapheneOS has the goals of being the best of the best when it comes to Android security.

There is and always will be CalyxOS or DivestOS for a wider range of devices (both are still much better than the likes of LineageOS and Pixelexperience)

Their network seems to run on some crypto bs, don’t see a reason to use it over Briar or SimpleX for that matter

Like I can just host a Tor node or self host SimpleX

From their website:

As online advertising becomes ever more ubiquitous and unsanctioned, AdNauseam works to complete the cycle by automating ad clicks universally and blindly on behalf of its users. Built atop uBlock Origin, AdNauseam quietly clicks on every blocked ad, registering a visit on ad networks’ databases. As the collected data gathered shows an omnivorous click-stream, user tracking, targeting and surveillance become futile.

AdNauseam is a free browser extension designed to obfuscate browsing data and protect users from tracking by advertising networks. At the same time, AdNauseam serves as a means of amplifying users’ discontent with advertising networks that disregard privacy and facilitate bulk surveillance agendas.
