It's a bad take, open source projects can be spun out to whatever branch you want and not needing a host support to keep it going..that's why browser like brave can have its own hard coded adblock without relying on extensions like ublock and things like manifest V2 and V3 support, as it doesn't need it as it has nothing to do with Google other than using their open source engine.

    A misleading title shilling for Firefox. Brave has full support and it won't even remove it nor does it actually need it as it has its own in-house fully hard coded adblock that doesn't need Google services whatsoever.

    Exactly this. I have tried many different distros, but I always end up sticking with mint for casual day use and pop os for gaming with my Nvidia GPU laptop. Mainly, because easy of use and simplicity on daily drivers and because pop os is the only distro that fixes the issue with Nvidia rtx cards being fed full wattage instead of constraining it to mere 60% cap for whatever reason, which hurt my gaming performance in return drastically until I have figured out what is happening. Pop os has its own share of problems tho, mainly the WiFi adapter driver issue where it doesn't like invisible SSID's, so it keeps dropping the connection every minute unless you unhidd your SSID.

    Get a proper top class panel TV that's dumb and do rasp pi as a firestick, or just run it as 24/7 mini pc connected to the TV that has ad free YouTube, free movies, free everything really if you know what's up.

    It cost like 7 euros a year to run it 365 days 24/7

    It's true, if you don't want to spend 5 minutes customizing your browser to your needs you can use GitHub script that disables all of the features for you. But I don't see how feature like reader isn't handy, it often lets you bypass paywalls for free.

    You don't need to pay anything if you go to the settings and disable them one by one. Brave is the best browser out there and only browser I have used since 2019.
