Not a reference, just a little BoneAppleTea for breakfast 😉

All CEOs are crap. Find me another browser with proper fingerprinting resistance and convenient per-site privacy controls.

Yes, that’s what was said…

That’s not what a VPN or incognito modes do.

It absolutely is. I’ve verified this by toggling the VPN off and wallah access is restored.

tldr lost interest

Unfortunately most of the internet is login-gated at this point. And honestly a lot of it is justifiable, lest you let the bots run wild scraping your site until it goes down completely.

I don’t recall them really leaning into Linux so hard in their previous marketing but it’s all over now!

I could, or you could click the link in the OP to the original source 🙂

The links were not formatted but they are there:

I don’t think “smart glasses” are the problem. The term is too broad. The problem is, more specifically, cameras pointed at people constantly, with those cameras being designed to upload 100% of the data to surveillance systems, owned by surveillance companies.

It’s totally possible to have “smart glasses” like GoPro that just record locally. Or ones that connect to a local AI model.

The obligatory response to this is “there’s no expectation of privacy in public places”, and they’re right, and changing that comes with a whole boatload of new problems, like recording public servants/officials.

The problem is that you’re coming at this from 2 different ends of the spectrum. These privacy browsers disable a bunch of functionality, because that functionality, whether intentional or not (let’s be realistic, 90% of it is intentional) can be used to track you across the web. Naturally, this disabling of functionality also breaks websites.

The solution is to find a browser somewhere in the middle. I’ll get a bunch of shit here surely, but this is why I use and recommend Brave. There is a Shields dropdown where you can easily toggle a bunch of privacy features on and off on a per-site basis. Set the global default to private, then you can turn things off as necessary to get the page working (if it’s not a malicious page from Meta or Google, etc.).

But it was quiet before that. It just means there wasn’t any sort of announcement. Which is important context, don’t you think?

None of them has something that can compare to the app store, play store, or even the Microsoft store

There are lots of reasons someone might choose Windows but…this ain’t it. The Linux app managers are way easier to use, require no account, and aren’t full of ads and malware.

Why

Recall is disabled by default. You can’t opt into security in W10.

It always has been. And yet consistently for decades they continually turn to Big Tech anyway…

Ooh I made the list!

They’re still making Dreamcast games!?

I mean there are worse things that could be making up…
