("including privacy-oriented browsers like LibreWolf, non-beta Edge..." - did AlternativeTo guys really call Edge a privacy browser or they just formulated the sentence a bit vaguely? 🤔️ *Says Fossery who sucks at English* lol)

(Who will be faster? YouTube implementing Widevine DRM (fully for everyone) or NewPipe implementing SABR protocol? Let's bet in the comments, because why not lol)
(I bet for SABR, because YouTube is much slower to implement things and roll out for everyone lol)

https://news.itsfoss.com/curl-ai-slop/
("But what if they judge that incorrectly and ban legit reporters? They can use it for malicious purpose to ban people they don't like" - people will say. That can be an issue of course, but at the same time, AI generated trash takes away time from answering legit bug reports, so it can be a good thing if done right. It's hard to judge though, it's either this or that problem.)
