Well boys, it was worth a shot. Smile and wave, smile and wave.

I fully respect if it’s just not in the budget for you. A company has to make money somehow. I’d rather pay than get ads or worse let them collect and yet worse sell my data. Also, you can use a burner email and vpn if you want to add an extra layer of obfuscation in there for privacy.

Here’s a few links from their faq.

I really hope I don’t come off as a shill for them. It’s one of the few companies I actually really like.

I also run proton family, and really like the product offering. Their leadership gives me anxiety though. Promos and sales are only for new customers and standard pricing is a bit steep, but you do get multiple services.

I know I’m not exactly hitting the mark, have you looked at kagi? You can personalize the weighting of results from certain sites. You can also add lenses which will let you drive results to forums, programming, academia, etc.

To me it was a bit like reliving the early days of google with the don’t be evil mantra still in tact.

Let me also say, it appears to be privacy respecting.

It has been good for me so far. If someone sees a reason I should run away from this, please let me know why and what we all should use instead, I’d appreciate it!

Ctrl+shift+tab - goes to the prior tab Ctrl+tab - goes forward to the next tab.

If you have multiple browsers open…

Alt+tab to go to the prior app then try above.

For the accidentally closed tab - Ctrl+shift+t to open the most recently closed tab

If flailing through these doesn’t get you there, you’re boned.

Let’s take the original comment at face value and in earnest for a moment.

Wouldn’t the human race be more like a parasite?

In all honesty, I don’t think the earth needs us, nor would we qualify for a symbiotic relationship. Earth really doesn’t need most of its inhabitants.

That would move to a more existential question of what it means for earth to survive or be “alive”? Support any life?

My biggest concern with these forks, is do they get the security updates quickly enough as they're all downstream from either Chromium, Firefox, or web-kit. I've tried Zen a bit and had a good experience. From a privacy perspective, cookie management, containers, anti-fingerprinting, and telemetry are probably the biggest categories to address.

Again, I always have security concerns for the forks getting patches quickly. The smaller the team the more risk likely in this category. Librewolf won my vote. I use it for almost everything. If the page won't work there, I typically have to use Chromium because the site is just poorly built.

I'd also recommend doing something to manage privacy at the DNS level for your local network/machine. Piehole or NextDNS would be a good place to start. I landed on NextDNS as it's pretty cheap, easy, and stable. With internet, it has to "just work" or the family gets annoyed fast. I can still black-hole traffic from my network that is phone-home telemetry from devices more concentrated on collecting info for the manufacture than doing what they were purchased to do.

Very, good. That’s correct. However social constructs have consequences for non-adherence. As much as I agree with and wold like to support your stance, this is not something for which I’m willing to invest my energy or time to resolve.

Your compliance and the requirement from me, the adult, to you the child; yep, this sucks. When I’m no longer charged with your care and have completed my duty to prepare you to operate with the constructs of society, you may make this decision for yourself.

Until that time, you can put your socks on, or I will. Your choice. Love you.

In the other vein of this, I hate sock and shoes, so I’m pretty much good with skipping all of this. There are consequences that come with that decision too.

EndeavorOS provides a GUI installer with what’s considered “sensible” add-ons included.
It’s where I am now. I started with Mint, played with Debian some, now “Arch”-ish.

It’s been good to me.

You forgot to add, “but you’ll get fired if production numbers drop.” Without the fear in those that remain of losing their livelihood, safety, food, home, and healthcare; the effect isn’t quite the same.

Libre wolf has been great. On the rare chance I need ungoogled chromium, it’s because it’s a terribly done site I’m forced to visit.

Logseq. This is the way. The first few pills are hard to swallow…. Then you’re hooked.

It’s markdown and open source. I use it on Linux, Arch btw, iPad and iPhone.
I do pay for their sync to support them, but also move files to shared network drives.

Syncthing would probably let you sync for free.

It’s literally perfect to tag and teach the chaos of work while cross referencing everything effortlessly ; sprinkling scheduled deadline dates in the mix. Oh and a dash of priority.

I don’t think I could go back, I’m.a junkie for life now
