Why is this guy popping up so much lately on Lemmy? I remember thinking this guy was a piece of shit about a decade ago…
I haven’t kept up with the times. Was I right? Or did I become an angry old man 20 years to early?
You could just watch the video
Watching the video is unlikely to answer my question.
It is quite the opposite. It will answer your question in it’s first 30secs. Even reading the other comments here will. Lol.
This is a random screenshot he used in hos video for roughly 2 seconds. This is not his tierlist.
Crazy to see how much people on here hate this guy
yeah, super weird how people hate a fascist
I don’t mean this in a mean way, honestly curious – fascist how? As far as I know he made a couple of distasteful jokes a decade ago and apologized for it. Not great but we should stop using words like fascist and Nazi unless we can back it up.
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)
Never seen anoyone rank brave alongside or even above standard firefox.
No Mull?
Isn’t mull dead?
Brave 🤮
Brave is a series scam company.
Exactly I’d even use Chrome before I’d ever touch Brave.
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.
Good summary! Thank you!
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.
brave search otoh is pretty gud. I believe they even do their own indexing.
Firefox is a monopoly’s pet
all hail lynx

Is there anything emacs cannot do?

- vim users
sed has left the chat
Y’all are seriously still using the internet?
AFAIK it hasn’t been used as an OS yet (meaning init - the thing you start after bootloader). Or a bootloader
Right?
Richard Stallman style!
My brain read this to the tune of Gangnam Style
Bracing a pedophilia and necrophilia sympathiser as your hero smh
Making a joke about a ridiculous habit is hardly making someone a hero.
Just because PewDiePie switched to Linux doesn’t mean we should listen to his browser recommendations
True but he’s sparking more interest in FOSS so that’s still a good thing. I doubt his advice is perfect but if it gets more people started onto their own journey it’s a win.
You’re right about that, I was moreso saying that his crappy browser tier list isn’t worth sharing
not his recommendations
Very true, I feel like people miss the point of his own experience and/or opinion
People on Lemmy seem to be Pewdiepie bootlickers. Idk why but it’s really weird. Apparently you can do whatever but as long as you promote Linux, Lemmy will love you. Ridiculous.
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.
I believe its this: https://lemmy.world/post/32106925/17916457
What exactly has he done to warrant considering this? He’s a yt star, not a privacy expert.
tits no his list
Somehow even less useful, since the source can’t even be verified.
He’s been getting into FOSS and privacy lately
So explicitly not an expert.
Yeah but he was never claiming to be. I don’t think he made any direct recommendations in the video.
Just him documenting his own journey de-googling.
My point is it serves no purpose here.
I’ve looked into it and it’s not even his tier list, just one he found online.
It’s vitally important to know which browser is preferred by the guy who says slurs to an audience of children
B-b-but he has a FAMILY now! Isn’t that so WHOLESOME!
Who hurt you?
that is not his list, just a random screenshot.
Yeah i just checked the video and it appeared for like 2 seconds as a side note. He never even tried Brave apparently.
probably just his editor put it for the video
Ppl focusing on the negative. It’s just his subjective list. He doesn’t claim to be an expert. Lemmy autism peaking here. More exposure to foss is good guys
… I don’t think listening to random big influencers is a good way forward (in anything).
(As to the list - others already pointed out everything, y’all nerds know shit! <3)
