I switched to Brave Search when I switched to Brave, very pleased with it so far. Its image search isn't quite as good but otherwise, I haven't looked back.

Can't answer for them but for me, sites would break, the cookie management was a pain in the backside, and I hated having it start in windowed literally every time I'd start the browser. It also doesn't handle containers as well as the original FF addon did.

I switched to it after the Firefox debacle. Brave is my main browser and I used Firefox as an alt, but now it's just Brave and Waterfox.

It's not as heavy on the privacy protections as LibreWolf but it's nowhere near the level of site breakage that I got with LibreWolf. Plus, unlike LibreWolf whose chief maintainer is heavily political and includes those politics in what changes are pushed (another major reason I abandoned Firefox), I have yet to see any blatant political statements or actions with Waterfox.

Considering the fact that I never used Firefox for privacy so much as having an alt to keep big tech sites separate from my main traffic, it works just fine.

If you're on Android, you really need to use Kotatsu. If one source is taken down, you have a couple hundred other options and it doesn't change the overall experience.

The ACLU is a freaking joke, not sure why you'd trust them. They're literally making up excuses to try to prevent this from passing. Makes you wonder about their reasoning.

I genuinely wish nothing but the worst for Denuvo. Scum of the earth. DRM sucks, I do my best to avoid games with Denuvo.

Let's hope it passes this time. The "controversy" seems to be the typical, forced nonsense. It'd be nothing but a win for children's privacy and mental health.

What I'm saying is that it doesn't matter where the information is. If it's absolutely crucial information, archive it, but if it disappears from Reddit or wherever, it's not like someone else will be incapable of asking again, here or elsewhere.

At this point, I actively encourage people to boycott this thing. Steam Deck is better anyways.

A good first step. FOSS projects have GOT to stop using Discord as their primary engagement and documentation method.

Eh, if the information already exists on the web somewhere, why reiterate it? Seems excessive to insist on asking on the Fediverse unless that information can't be found on a search engine or through AI.
