/tech/ - Technology★

It's made with electron and that means it's just Chromium with the UI made in node.js.

Botnet.

It's a lot better than just a Chrome skin, you have to give it that at least.

Even esperanto is a better meme.

I think the Mozilla firing is a badge of honor tbh. Mozilla is shitty now.

I'd say it's a great thing for normalfags and n00bs, like the the /pol/ guys or other anons who don't know shit about /tech/ and recently moved to it. Considering that these people really won't go into more complex territories, having a friendly option that is at least less of a botnet than Chrome (again, that shouldn't be an argument for anyone with the ability to learn better options) and just the fact that it has a different logo and name not related to Google brand is useful from cultural point of views. If it gets somehow big, it will effect some of Google's hegemony.

I would say, if you're using a desktop and have the ability to read and inform yourself, don't even think about it.

Go IceCat+ privacy addons, or at least Firefox and the same. There's plenty of info on this board alone about how to do things properly in that sense, or just general searches on the direction of escape from PRISM and similar.

Popular with /pol/acks who don't know shit about technology and only use it because Eich opposed fag marriage.

Ads are literally built into the browser. What the fuck are you thinking?

you're free to go back to your containment board

>>800616 (OP)

The mobile version is quite good and faster than the default. I haven't tried the desktop version yet. Also not mentioned by anyone here, is that it is open source.

>not w3m/links

Its a meme

>>801372

Not as relevant in this case, since it comes from Chromium, which eventhough it's open source in the papers, it's a very suspicious clusterfuck of code which I don't think anyone would have the courage to affirm the conditions in term of privacy and security.

I always recommend for friends to install on Mobile, its basically Chrome with a Adblock and HTTPSeverywhere, 0 setup needed.

I just don't use it myself because I use Ad-away and Jelly/Firefox

>>801738

I think you mean "ugly", not comfy.

It's a meme on Windows: its UI not only LOOKS like trash, but it's also busted to the point of only giving you about 8 pixels to click and drag the window, despite half of the UI being dead space anyway. I've never dropped a perfectly usable program THAT quickly because of UI issues before.

>esperanto

>literally a language made by jews for their new world order

fuck that

>having to set up a RAM disk fucking manually to cache to RAM

Chromium and its forks are fucking shit.

>>801738

Esperanto still isn't a real language, hotwheels.

>>800616 (OP)

On desktop, the piece of shit locks up and becomes unclickable. Dragging and dropping tabs fucks up and opens new windows. Chrome-style bookmarks are horse shit. As much as I wanted to like it, I switched back to Firefox after using brave since release. I still use brave on mobile. More feature rich than Lightning Browser.

Chrome was a mistake.

>>801941

Rust = 100%

Brave = Top

Needs a "clueless retard" tier. Move Chrome into it and add Windows 10.

>>801969

>Brave on par with McAfee

Now come on.

>>801941

There's nothing wrong with Suse Linux though.

>>800616 (OP)

botnet

>>801941

EPIK LE TROLL CHART XDDDDDD

>>800616 (OP)

for now it's fucking shit as daily browser

>>800741

/thread

It's shit. You have no control over what to allowed or not on a bigger scale. You can say on or off and nothing else.

>>800616 (OP)

It's OK, but for all purposes Qupzilla is just as good if not better.

T. Qupzilla shill.

>>800616 (OP)

>no 32-bit version

well fuck

>>800703

it doesnt matter he's a retard

>>801941

nice trolling
