    Brave being listed alongside Firefox

    Bestie Brave is literally just Chromium again. Not to mention the fact that their CEO is someone who got ousted from Firefox for being a tremendous bigot. It’s not a better alternative to Chrome, it’s just the same thing again. It you must use a chromium browser, use ungoogled.

    Grats on Arch Linux install, S-tier distro for what it attempts to accomplish.

    It feels like there needs to be a category in between conservative and paranoid. I’m probably 90% of the way over to tech paranoid but using Tor Browser and Tails is a little much.

    I fall under Tech Conservative mostly, but I would like to edit the last 2 points to this for myself:

    “Believe every publicly traded company is inherently evil”
    “Doesn’t morally support big tech, but uses some anyway”

      An important note to your last one is for some of us we don’t get an option. Work does everything with Office 365? Welp, guess you gotta use Microsoft products now 🤷

        I mean, work is work, you don’t get a choice in what product your company uses. My point was meant for personal use.

    What does MKBHD have to do with this? He’s just a tech reviewer who kinda fits between tech normie and tech conservative

      And he mostly talks about phones anyway… hardly relevant to the avg pc enthusiast as he only covers macbooks and not their competition, which is silly.

      He’s the kind of guy that looks at a Fairphone and says “if you compare this to a Pixel, the Pixel is faster”, talks about how important repairability and sustainability is, vows to mention it in future phone reviews and then proceeds to never mention it ever again but instead keeps on saying how great the new iPhone is.

      Not really. People who use the apps are trying to preserve (conserve) the time when privacy wasn’t an afterthought. It’s not working, but they’re sure trying.
