This is a random screenshot he used in hos video for roughly 2 seconds. This is not his tierlist.

    Not of his. This is a known widespread tierlist made by other person (I do not remember if this came from Reddit, a YT video or what, but it is well known)

    Would you mind giving some context? Ive never used Brave, but my dad does. In which sense is it a "scam"? Would want him to switch if its terrible

    People care more about CEO's opinion on politics and hate Web3 crypto more than they understand technical browser stuff.

    Brave is far from perfect and the company had their contreveries but honestly if you disable all the cryptocrap and tweak it a tiny bit so it does not show you ads and feature you don't use it is the best chromium browser in regards to security and privacy.

    Ungoogled chromium by default can't even compare, it's not crap but brave does so much more than it's better for the vast majority of users.

    And yet it uses less RAM in Android phones compared to my goat, Firefox... Man FF needs a lot of improvements, all my complaints come from Android, the browser is perfect even on macOS!

    Firefox still doesn't support tab groups on mobile. That's a non-starter for me. Hopfully Ladybird has their shit better put together than mozilla when they finally release their browser

    I haven't heard about that browser, it seems that it does its own thing, IDK man, if FF that has years in the market and still hasn't caught up, I have no big hopes for "new" projects.

    Just because PewDiePie switched to Linux doesn't mean we should listen to his browser recommendations

    I've looked into it and it's not even his tier list, just one he found online.

    The only problem with Ungoogled that makes it "not ideal for a normal human" is that fact that it is still cumbersome af to download it. Regular people don't know github and how to click on "show all assets" and pick the right build.

    Isn't installing extensions in it also a pain, since the Google webstore doesn't let you install from it?

    I guess to answer my own question, I looked it up - there's an extension to let you do that alongside some flag changes, so I guess not too bad... But it's another step on the list of things you'd want to do as a user

    Is https://download-chromium.appspot.com/ not good enough?

    I don't use this as a my main browser though, just for testing. I don't recommend Chromium backends due to Google control over it.

    Not a problem in Vivaldi, you can install even pure scripts as extension, without the need of an Userscript Manager, like TamperMonkey or similar. Due to the great amount of features, most extension from the Chrome Store are anyway redundant.

  • source

    No I did not and I'm not sure what you imagine "regular users" might be. I feel that if someone goes the extra length to get their browser outside of a store, they can do the same with extensions, is it extravagant?

    I know it's been said, but Brave is a hard no. Replace it with Ungoogled Chromium. I haven't seen the video so I don't understand why it's in the "not ideal for a normal human" list, and I am biased since I use plenty of "not for normal" tools.

    Brave? Hard no. Vivaldi? Also no.

    Also, where are qutebrowser and Zen?

    qutebrowser and IceCat are real top of the game when it comes to privacy. But then, they break some of the sites functionality, especially IceCat who seems to be going under the "if your site doesn't work, it's your site's problem" motto.

    Which is honestly fair? Like, i would enjoy a "unsafe site, access anyways?" button, but if privacy settings break a page that literally is the pages fault for not respecting privacy.

    Edit: typo

    Kinda, but I would like to tailor my experience a bit more than "all or nothing".

    IceCat is directly a GNU project, so it's highly ideological - which is important and respectable in a way, but then it gets adoption to near-zero because most sites just don't work out of the box, and to make it work properly means completely removing all safeguards that make IceCat make sense. There's little in between.

    I'd rather have something like LibreWolf, but without phone-home functionality, or at least a switch to turn it off. Out of all Firefox forks I know, only IceCat respects user privacy in this way - 0 connections on startup, and then only connection to actual site and whatever it requires.

    Opt-in telemetry (ideally - leveled) and manual bug information sending are totally fine, though.

    Your comment made me look at the list again. I didn’t even realise Brave is located at the very top.

    Also, why is “not ideal for a normal human” at the middle of the list?

    Garbage, indeed.

    It is garbage, objectively.

  • What a weird thing to argue.

    It doesn’t matter whether the list is part of the video or whether it was created by PewDiePie.

    The list, in the screenshot of OP, is garbage.

    Besides, the same screenshot is of a video that shows the list along with the name of the channel and the video title (which correlates with other news of the creator releasing an anti-Google video). So the list, for all purposes of this discussion, is part of the video.

    Ngl, feel like his tier list is based on usability while avoiding big tech.

    Tbh even if this tierlist is not the best or great, it still is "good enough". Plus the most important thing is to get tons of people interested.

    I rather have "good enough" tier list that reaches to millions of people, then have a perfect tierlist that only reaches out to less than a dozen people.

    Because amongst the millions of people who are interested, thousands of them will do their own research into privacy and dig deeper into it.


    Plus right now, the biggest weakness of privacy is the fact that our community is too small to make an impact.

    Having someone give this much outreach and influence to attract attention towards privacy is a good thing. (well, as long as their advice are on the positive end of the spectrum, and pewdiepie's advise surely is, even if its not perfect)

    I didn't find any specifics in that article. What does it mean that the documentation was asked to be more gender neutral? I can't think of any gendered documentation I have read from any other projects.

    The user was referred to as "he" in the all the documentation. Random made up example "if the user wants to change his settings he will click this button in the top left" or whatever.

    A very normal PR was raised that just changed these uses to be gender neutral and it was declined for being too political.

    That's a good find that famous people are getting into FOSS (should be free as in freedom too). But it's really not a good thing that they spread a non expert speaking to the crowd.

    Tier lists are meant to be mainly subjective and pretty relative to the person that made it. In that way Pewdipie could quote experts but in no case should make a tier list based on what he found the last weeks (I didn't fully watched the video so maybe I'm wrong and he made a big disclaimer)

    If you watch the video, Felix tells you twice in the same sentence that he uses Arch.

    Lemmy had taught me that this means Felix IS an expert on FOSS
