Kagi's Orion Browser for Linux is a step closer to being a thing!

AI-startup Perplexity heeft ongevraagd een bod gedaan van 34,5 miljard dollar (29,5 miljard euro) om webbrowser Chrome over te nemen. Chrome, eigendom van Google, is de meest gebruikte webbrowser ter wereld met een marktaandeel van zo'n 65 procent.

»Perplexity – KI-Startup bietet 34,5 Milliarden für Chrome:
Perplexity will Googles Browser übernehmen - trotz begrenzter Finanzmittel.«

Ein weiteres Argument um den Chrome Browser und seine Abkömmlinge NICHT zu nutzen, auch wenn Firefox nicht 101% optimal ist.
P.S. zB @librewolf, ein Firefox Abkömmling, ist sehr Privatsphäre freundlich.

I guess #Perplexity hallucinated the price for #Chrome

#Mozilla angers #Firefox users with latest #AI #browser gimmick

While the #opensource browser is slowly becoming a footnote in the history of #internet software, well-paid managers continue implementing #AImodels to handle some of the most mundane tasks a #webbrowser could possibly perform.

I've been playing with different #Android #WebBrowser. My primary is #Firefox with #Vivaldi as a #Chromium backup. Vivaldi is fine, but I prefer other options over it.

I tend to prefer #OpenSource options, so I tried #Brave again because it has some decent privacy options built-in, but it actually feels a little slower and reinforces my preference for #Gecko over Chromium. I also have reservations about the owner.

#Waterfox seems like a possibility and I might try #Fennec.

I don't want to sacrifice a ton of usability for the sake of privacy for every day tasks.

I daily drive BrassMonkey v33.7.2 on Devuan Linux 5, straight from GitHub. Stable and modern, it handles most web pages that SeaMonkey can't, thanks to its Goanna engine. Hoping for an update to v33.8.1.2 and the addition of language add-ons soon! #BrassMonkey #WebBrowser #SeaMonkey #gecko #goanna #devuan #linux

You might finally be able to use other browsers on iPhone!!

Many people don't realize, even if you install a different "browser" on an iPhone, Apple intentionally forces the use of Safari's web-rendering engine, and that may now be coming to an end.

Google Chrome has numerous features, including fast, secure, and custom browsing, which makes it stand out for browsing the internet. Unfortunately, Chrome is not found in the default Ubuntu repositories, meaning users wanting to use it on the latest version of Linux Mint 22 will need to install it manually.

Librefox – this project aims at enforcing the privacy and security of Firefox without forking the project. Librefox uses more than 500 privacy/security/performance settings, patches, and add-ons. https://archiveapp.org/librefox/ #webbrowser #firefox #linux #bsd #osx #windows #unix

Jeg har bidraget til dette studie i browser fingerprinting i årevis, og af alle browsere jeg har (haft), er den mest resistente løsning et privat vindue i firefox eller librewolf. Jeg er altid en unik bruger, men firefox' private vindue er det hvor jeg ikke genkendes. På trods af tmp containers og cookie autodelete, som i princippet sletter alle browserdata fra næsten alle sites få sekunder efter lukning af et faneblad.

For tiden bruger jeg Zen-browser rigtig meget - men den er ikke resistent på samme måde som sit ophav, sikkert pga lavere opgraderingstempo.

Andre her der deltager?
