Everyone's asking "What's the damage", but noone's asking "How is the damage" :(

Yeah, I am a long time Vivaldi user myself. Up until now at least. I am quite happy with it, but from what I read, it has it deficits.

Thanks for the advice, and thanks for the mentioning if 4Get. I just read about it. Awesome project.

Considering that already. Do you experience any problems or limitations with that? Like being flagged as a bot, or sites returning errors?

Edit: thank you for the suggestion!

Not everyone has the technical insight level of an IT professional. Thats why I love this community. Most people give you really solid advice. Thanks to everyone at this point!

bc someone might still be dependent on certain services that he or she wasnt able to replace just yet.

Also: "perfect" is a the arch-enemy of "good". Every bit of de-americanization, de-corporatification counts, and comments like yours somewhat disencourage people to even begin the journey. Bc "why even degoogle my OS, if I cant degoogle from that one since particular service 🤷". It's the same reason some people are not fighting climate change. Why care for my CO2 emission, if India or China wont budge?" We wont score perfect, so I wont even try."

That concept is called Practical Utilitarism

I honestly dont know how many users on here are US citizens, but you guys really need to break out if this. It's nazi Germany nazi-US-America by now. Grab all of california and start the a civil war. I am seeing no other way out of this madness.

"Blames AI" lmao. Oracle is one of those cancerous companies that we should avoid at all costs. Even towards other businesses they use preditory tactics, MASSIVE vendor lock-in and hidden costs everywhere. They're basically one step away from being a pyramid scheme.

Do you have coffee as part of your breakfast? It is known to cause bowl movements. I usually don't eat anything in the morning, but 5mins after my first coffee is finished, it's potty time.

Sometimes I genuinely wonder what's up with FreshParsnip. He's coming up with the weirdest stuff, and I love it.

When climate change finally turns planet Earth into a second Venus, somehow there will still be a greedy capitalist driving around in a dirty semitruck, calling it all a hoax.

Good questions. I'd like to refer to the answer from panda_abyss. It's called "stoic philosophy" or "stoicism", and it's a mighty tool, if you know how to handle it. Over the years it actually helped me with anxiety/panic and depression. To me, it was even more effective than therapy, because following stoic principles actually feels like some sort of low-level-everyday-therapy.

So if you struggle with overwhelming emotions about where the world is headed, I'd recommend giving this a read or two.
