Thanks, but I’ll just stick to Firefox
Oh shit. Someone finally called my “I’d pay not to have to use AI” bluff.
Gonna call it now: that 60 quid ‘one time’ purchase is not gonna be the end of it.
In, at most, a couple of years, one of these things will happen:
- the model will be switched to a monthly subscription
- features will be cut and sold separately
- ‘limited, non-targeted’ ads ‘from trusted partners’ will be introduced
- the thing will be buried completely because it’s not financially viable
Don’t forget the “major” version increment that breaks “lifetime”.
- Oh, you’re mistaken. The license is for the lifetime of version 32. To use version 33 you must upgrade. But no rush, you have until version 33.1 before we activate the kill switch.
Or they rebrand it, and pull the “lifetime is only to the end of the product lifetime” trick.
Brave is a scam and not security or privacy
Huh, funnily enough, Ive introduced my own $60 fee if they want me to read the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy agreements that come along with their browser.
Good news for me! I don’t have to pay since I don’t use brave at all. Yay me!
Free on Linux. But you should just use Firefox or its forks.
Don’t give bigots your money…
It’s free on Linux. Still, I find it difficult to justify paying for a browser unless you want to directly support it.
Donate to LadyBird.
They are endorsing linux, what a good company asking users to indirectly move to linux for their browser.
Honestly I don’t hate that at all
If you really want to use a chromium-based browser, Vivaldi does all this and for free. It’s not bad, definitely a bit faster than firefox but that’s the nature of the beast for the web these days. I also like having my tabs on the side rather than the top. I think you can do that with Firefox via an extension, I’ll have to play around. But I much prefer using Firefox in my daily life
Vertical tabs is a built in function of FF. I think you just right click on a tab and there’s an option on the context menu to switch maybe?
