So we do not have to ditch #Firefox completely, just select NO if asked if we want to use #Perplexity. By selecting NO all previous privacy options will remain in tact. I have been using #Kagi search for about 3 months now. I am very happy with it and would recommended it as a #SearchEngine. It's paid, but if you are a heavy internet user like I am it is worth it. I was given a 3 month free trial so my first payment is coming up. I intend to keep it. I have a 100 reasons to stay with Firefox according my customization and so far their breaching of their own previously stated values has yet to compromise my security. Still, it goes without saying it is a shame.

Vivaldi browser 7.4 is out.

https://vivaldi.com/new/

#vivaldi #webBrowser

"(...) #Chrome von #Google ist der mit Abstand beliebteste #Webbrowser weltweit. Seine Schnelligkeit und Benutzerfreundlichkeit haben Millionen Menschen überzeugt. Doch hinter der glänzenden Oberfläche verbirgt sich ein mächtiges Datensammel-Werkzeug. Was viele Nutzer nicht wissen: Chrome protokolliert nahezu jede Ihrer Online-Aktivitäten und sendet diese Informationen an Google. Selbst der vermeintlich sichere Inkognito-Modus bietet keinen echten Schutz. Welche Daten Google tatsächlich sammelt und welche Alternativen Ihre Privatsphäre besser schützen."
Wow, die FR hat's geschnallt: https://www.fr.de/produktempfehlung/millionen-nutzen-chrome-ohne-zu-wissen-wie-sie-ausspioniert-werden-zr-93740986.html

FFmpeg developers aren't satisfied with the new Rust-based rav1d decoder, say that "Rust is so good you can get paid $20k to make it as fast as C":

(This beef sounds like the ones Linus Torvalds says. Maybe he's also an FFmpeg dev? lol)

Canonical, Zerodha, Posit, Sanity, Tideways and other companies join the Open Source Pledge to fund FOSS projects:

(Canonical and a random Indian financial company funding FOSS projects? Is it just me who has some bad feelings about this? 🤔️)
(Why would a bunch of for profit corporations support FOSS projects, if not because they want something out of them?)

New software review on my website!

Orion Browser
★★★★★

A Mac-native WebKit browser from Kagi that's more advanced than Safari, slightly cleaner than Arc or Zen, and can run Chromium/Firefox extensions. I may be sticking with this as my main web browser on macOS.

Firefox moves to GitHub

I am in awe of the customization abilities of Vivaldi!

Yet I feel like a spoiled brat. I want more now!
There are features I wish they could implement that other browsers have.
Yet the feature request section is a mess.

#TIL about #Servo;

"... is a web browser rendering engine written in Rust, with WebGL and WebGPU support, and adaptable to desktop, mobile, and embedded applications."
