Nonsense video, underlying problem is monopolies and private companies who develop the standards, not what browser you use.
If the standards are fully open, transparent and not concerning then it would make no difference if you use chrome and firefox because everyone would use same basis.
Also chromium team is not purchased or owned by Google, most volunteers are normal people, developers or security researchers that code on it in their free time. You can fork, modify the source as you please but that does not change the argumentation about web standards and how build or control them.
CHEF-KOCH@lemmy.mlto Announcements@lemmy.ml•Lemmy Release v0.16.0: Theming and Federation Improvements.0·3 years agoAre there plans to support BAT for donations, I already asked in chat but got no answer. I would like to use BAT because the system is trusted, and I can contribute monthly very easily trough my Browser.
Right now the domain is not verified, so I am asking in the hope to see more people auto-contributing.
THX for your answer.

In April 2019, Dissenter was removed from the Firefox Add-ons website and the Chrome Web Store for violation of their policies that causes the creation of the Dissenter web browser.
Brave never threatened anyone.
CHEF-KOCH@lemmy.mlto Green - An environmentalist community @lemmy.ml•What are your thoughts on green/private cryptos?0·3 years agoIt is about the principle, you replace hard cash. Also this is not entirely right since there are plans to integrate a blockchain but right-now there are not much green alternatives.
One way or another it supports my point because centralized systems are even less efficient, as explained.
CHEF-KOCH@lemmy.mlto Green - An environmentalist community @lemmy.ml•What are your thoughts on green/private cryptos?0·3 years agoCryptocurrencies is the future, one way or another.
We need to get rid of traditional banking, improve the blockchain process and find a way to block mining, then we are much more efficient than traditional banking because you can easily do thousand transactions within milliseconds without depending on external middle mans.
My idea is that Govt. takes over cryptocurrencies and that traditional banks monitor and improve the system. So you still have your bank, the govt is happy because they can monitor potential fraud and we get a more privacy respecting system.
The entire ponzi scheme discussion only stands and falls with mining. If that is out of the equation then we are pretty much ready to go, China uses their app, so there is no hard cash anymore and it works pretty well for them.
CHEF-KOCH@lemmy.mlto Privacy@lemmy.ml•r/PrivacyGuides is allowing a personally targeting post with my name in post title currently, slandering me and my smartphone guide0·3 years agoYou got busted that you lied. How is that slander if is true.
Why not address this, create another post answer and respond to it. I was not involved in all of this and do not care much about this at all, my opinion on PCIO, GrapheneOS is well-known.
I have not checked all points but OP has some valid points, if you like it or not.
Blocked you know, you can do the same. But do not call me someone who slander others, this is seriously not the case, I at worst mock them, but this is well-known.
That is all I am going to say here.
CHEF-KOCH@lemmy.mlto Privacy@lemmy.ml•r/PrivacyGuides is allowing a personally targeting post with my name in post title currently, slandering me and my smartphone guide0·3 years agoIt is not really slandering. If you check their statements regarding developers, they deserve much worse. If I would leak what they said on Reddit and via Reddit DM, that would be slandering, even if it is true.
Edit… really… 😂

I think they responded a lot to Facebook, the entire scandal and started some campaigns to sue Zuck and co.
- Title is clickbait.
- People only upvote it because admin posted it, that is all.
- Web is not controlled by larger companies only, they might be the ones with most impact, true but they do not dictate what you should do. Face it, most people believe everything Microsoft, Google telling them no matter if it is right or wrong because they think big Corps have more credibility.
- We have dozens of articles like this already, why write another one … What have you done to make things better… Why not list organizations like EFF who fight for us or help them to get more attention.
- Saying things like - we cannot do much about it - without even trying to provide some solution is seriously the wrong way to motivate readers.
- Even domain name is based and redpilled.
- Echo chambering the same over and over again helps how … People will give up an feel helpless.
Here is what people could do
- Support small platforms like Lemmy, Fediverse in general.
- Support actual organization that fight for you, such as EFF.
- Instead of whining that web is miserable, I read this nonsense since 20+ years now, each year new clickbait … oh adblock destroys the web, oh Microsoft destroys the web, web is broken … Blah blah blah. Provide some serious solutions, because this is what will consume Brain power here. Some people actually did, created crypto and other systems that are not controlled by the big Corpos or the government.
My opinion on the submission and Tech + Web, not meant to offend but my little review on this.

He does not belong into piracy at all nor on Lemmy. Same like any of the other faceless Piracy clowns. No backbone, now they trying to influence and take control over this sub because they know that their own sub is going down due to Reddit changes.
CHEF-KOCH@lemmy.mlto Piracy@lemmy.ml•I'm the top mod of /r/piracy in reddit. Can I get a mod position?0·4 years agoReddit’s piracy Subreddit is known to ban everyone who - according to mods - causes slight troubles, the internet is full of it. I can get 50 people in here, that contacted me on Reddit, they also got banned for no reason or no good reason at all, and the Mods never respond to mod mails.
Last I checked, The Eye is dead because of lack of funding.
CHEF-KOCH@lemmy.mlto Piracy@lemmy.ml•I'm the top mod of /r/piracy in reddit. Can I get a mod position?0·4 years agoBans me and other valid members for no reason, had no guts to sort this out via DM and decided to ignore me + others… now comes years later into Lemmy and begs to do the same here or what… are you serious…
Dude you guys, ALL of you piracy mods on Reddit s+ck a+s, you do miserable job, do not give any f+++s about piracy nor the community itself. The only thing you guys care is to take control, nothing more.
Most people are here because you banned them or shadow blocked them. Get the F out here man.
CHEF-KOCH@lemmy.mlto F-Droid@lemmy.ml•If you were to buy a new phone today, which one would you choose and with which rom?01·4 years agoFalcon Supernova iPhone 6 Pink Diamond - $48.5 million
You cannot expect us doing your work and research, also what has this to do with F-Droid, nothing. Choose the Rom you like and lookup which phone model is compatible, how hard can that be…
No it is not, this is a myth. As you also can use free software on closed OS, which happens to be the standard. Keyword Microsoft and Windows. You also can choose to not support this, it is you and not the monopoly. If there is no alternative that is usable, people continue to use what they got. It is the underlying problem, Firefox is so bad and so unusable by default, so people switch or use something else. Nothing to do with Monopoly. The standards itself are created and dictated by monopolies, so it plays no role what you use if it anyway ends up that you must support such standards.
The point is that user generated or govt establish frameworks can b used as basis.Its useless if you build a browser surrounded by standards created by Microsoft, IBM etc alone.
This is already the case, you can choose not to use FLoC. Nothing changes here.
Please learn the difference between Browser engine and web standards, nonsense you talk here. Your Browser engine can adopt, implement or reject standards. Irrelevant in dyding discussion anyway since you provide absolute no solutions yourself in the discussion here, like everyone else people feeding off my ideas, practical in every thread. That you cannot continue is clear, web gives a shit about Mozilla, clearly the case. Some people hold together by hopes and delusions do not represent the web. Never did.
The discussion here is not about Browser you use, as people use whatever works best for them, and not what implements xyz, this is clearly shown in practical every thread. So enforcing your ideas will not work for the mass, better way around is to create open frameworks, documents that are actually usable and directly easily reviewable because at the end of the day your Browser runs pretty much on Android and iOS and not a open system. There exist open alternatives but they are not well funded, future unclear and the web - the main user - does not use it, they trust big corpos, they rely on their eco-system. Like Mozilla relies on money from yahoo, google etc in the past. Corpos you shit-talk.
