This is a random screenshot he used in hos video for roughly 2 seconds. This is not his tierlist.

Not of his. This is a known widespread tierlist made by other person (I do not remember if this came from Reddit, a YT video or what, but it is well known)
What exactly has he done to warrant considering this? He's a yt star, not a privacy expert.
It's vitally important to know which browser is preferred by the guy who says slurs to an audience of children
I've looked into it and it's not even his tier list, just one he found online.
Never seen anoyone rank brave alongside or even above standard firefox.
No Mull?
Isn't mull dead?
Ppl focusing on the negative. It's just his subjective list. He doesn't claim to be an expert. Lemmy autism peaking here. More exposure to foss is good guys
Ngl, feel like his tier list is based on usability while avoiding big tech.
Tbh even if this tierlist is not the best or great, it still is "good enough". Plus the most important thing is to get tons of people interested.
I rather have "good enough" tier list that reaches to millions of people, then have a perfect tierlist that only reaches out to less than a dozen people.
Because amongst the millions of people who are interested, thousands of them will do their own research into privacy and dig deeper into it.
Plus right now, the biggest weakness of privacy is the fact that our community is too small to make an impact.
Having someone give this much outreach and influence to attract attention towards privacy is a good thing. (well, as long as their advice are on the positive end of the spectrum, and pewdiepie's advise surely is, even if its not perfect)
Sir, this is 2025, we don't do nuanced opinions here anymore.
Wait. He hasn't crumbled into dust or whatever these "Offputting guy with shit politics who has an inexplicable army of irritating tween fans" youtubers do when they're past their shelf life? I thought he was irritating when I was in high school. That was...what, thirteen years ago now?
Why is this guy popping up so much lately on Lemmy? I remember thinking this guy was a piece of shit about a decade ago...
I haven't kept up with the times. Was I right? Or did I become an angry old man 20 years to early?
Superiority complex in the comments.
The only problem with Ungoogled that makes it "not ideal for a normal human" is that fact that it is still cumbersome af to download it. Regular people don't know github and how to click on "show all assets" and pick the right build.
Where's ladybird
Edit - I didn't know about the Transphobia going on there. that is unjustifiable.
Still can't believe that Pewdiepie became one of those Linux youtubers, only thing missing is linux distro reviews and why he can't use X software xD
That's a good find that famous people are getting into FOSS (should be free as in freedom too). But it's really not a good thing that they spread a non expert speaking to the crowd.
Tier lists are meant to be mainly subjective and pretty relative to the person that made it. In that way Pewdipie could quote experts but in no case should make a tier list based on what he found the last weeks (I didn't fully watched the video so maybe I'm wrong and he made a big disclaimer)
