Covermytracks makes never Brave look better than, say Librewolf, because Brave randomizes fingerprinting info while other browsers try to thwart fingerprinting by all looking the same.

I'm using Librewolf. The problem is that when cookies are deleted some sites will want to text you to "authenticate" your browser again. Your name and password alone are not enough.

It gets old doing this repeatedly. And it pisses me off that they act like they are being so secure by doing this yet they use a text instead of an authenticator app.

I use Librewolf on my laptop for most browsing, but I keep Google Chrome open just for Gmail, calendar, and drive. I know what you mean about losing the damn cookies making you suddenly have to get a text to authenticate again and that sucks.

When I come across those sites I usually just pull them up in Chrome instead since I keep it open anyway. They are typically not tracking sites anyway and I'm using an adblocking DNS.

That doesn't sound better, for an end user anyway.

Thanks for the info, but serious question, why would I want to? Why is it better than Lemmy?

[–] Delusion6903@discuss.online 1 points 1 year ago

This is what confuses me. If they are following Lemmy instances anyway wouldn't it just use a Lemmy client?

My family is all on iMessage. I told them if they didn't install Signal I wouldn't reply to their texts.

At first, whenever they texted I would just reply with something that looked automated like "This user is no longer available via text message. Please install Signal if you wish to communicate."

Forgetting politics, I liked Brave. But sometimes they do seem a little shady. I'm loving Librewolf even more, though there's no Android version. It does sync with Firefox and Mull though.

Sync works great over here. It even syncs history which is great because I use an extension on the laptop to limit history to 28 days and that becomes synced with Android without an additional extension.

On mobile I only use New Pipe for videos. Admittedly, I don't do much YouTube but I haven't noticed any problems on my laptop.

It is my default. I use ublock and Dark Background Light Text extensions. And the reader view is better than any chromium phone browser.

hmmmm. I'm still on 122.1.0-2 but I'm using flatpak. Does that sound right?
