The elders crave the slop (feddit.uk)

I digitally sterilised by great aunt's tablet. Removed YouTube. Removed Google's slop news feed. Switched her browser to brave (no ads) and search engine to duckduckgo. Put on more sensible news outlets like the BBC and ITV.

Now she's complaining that it's "just not as good as it used to be".

My great aunt is going into slop withdrawal.

Vivaldi has a built-in adblocker.

Firefox and its forks have uBlock Origin.

There's no reason to inflict Brave on someone.

What does brave do wrong

Promotes crypto, it's based on chromium and the CEO is an asshat.

More like what does it do right that other browsers don't do better?

You literally ignored me pointing out other examples.

Too late for that. Didn't know they existed.
