For me it's kind of an honesty thing. The biggest thing is if they are lying to their customers there... also apparently lying about where it's based (They are in Lithuania, which has manditory data retention laws), only using panama as a tax haven.
Bottom line is, it's about trust... They have a history of lying about a lot of small things, which then makes me think twice before trusting them with bigger things.
I mean to me one of their huge red flags is their advertising. IE my big never using nord, was one of their commercials where basically it was voicing a guys vacuume, smart TV and Alexa, and vacume etc... talking about him behind his back. Which then the narrator is "Your devices are all talking about you behind your back, get nordvpn to protect yourself".
That and many more were just blatent misrepresentation of what a VPN can and can't do. (point being, in the real world... everythings running https or some level of encryption. If your devices are compiling information, it's via their connection to their services. Of which a vpn isn't going to do jack to protect you from.
Also a lot of shady things still within there, 2019 they had a major data breach, Many complaints on their service auto renewing.
you can get a summary of a lot of parts of it with https://windscribe.com/vpnmap
(site catalogs data breaches, complaints etc... with VPN services).
Yeah sorry I phrased that bad, I meant to be listing smaller browsers that are also chromium. Point I was going at was most all the niche browsers are also chromium based.
Big mystery to me, where the hell is opera getting so much money to shove in front of every youtube channel out there. It seems to be one of those things that every creator starts recomending at the same time... which automatically makes me cringe because, well obviously almost everything that has a huge influencer push, is complete garbage (air up, honey. nordvpn etc...)
I feel like googles just used it's monopoly so strongly to make everything be chromium.
Looking at stats counter.
Chrome - 75.45, edge 9.55, safari 5.37, firefox 4.32, opera 2.13, brave 1.17.
so... in short of their listings, 88.9% are chrome based... safari being the largest non chrome based browser. Firefox being the only other one with enough userbase to even get on the list.
My only guess is that google's made their services a big enough pain or enough favoratism that even microsoft decided they didn't want to try and work around it.
To which I also have to note, how few browsers aren't chromium... IE Brave, Vivaldi etc...
I've started using zen browser myself, but I find it kind of odd that there's so few firefox based browsers... which is something that I've found kind of baffling... considering I haven't really found any negatives in using zen for about a year.. Google's always been, a huge threat to preventing adblockers etc... for years, is it just a lack of ideas of what to add to firefox.
I don't disagree on that... Especially the leaders. Schumer and Jeffries have proven again and again that they find progressives a bigger threat than republicans. However we have seen it is possible to get progressives past them and into power. Aside from violent revolution I don't see anything else that represents a way forward.
Well we can fully agree, democrats are republican light. The bottom line is most democrats are opposed to rational policies like, removing ICE, DHS, Regulating AI etc... All politicians who are for any of those things, are democrats, no politicians who are for those things are republicans, and the system does not allow 3rd parties. Point is the only strategy within voting... is.
Primary all centrist/moderate democrats with someone that actually stands with the majority of people. Support those primary candidates as best as possible, and then vote for whoever the democratic nominee is, as I still would hold that the worse democrat is still currently better than the best republican.
I mean there's 2 sides. Analog fails in more gradual forms. Digital obviously has the advantage of... replicating massively over large distances very quickly... IE your document could be backed up to a remote server as often as you save it. Versioning can exist so, you can have every change every update... differences between the file at 3:33 and 3:34 pm.
True on the gist that, a single corruption can't hit a whole typed document usually, IE your 20th keystroke on a typewriter can't randomly damage the first 19 characters.
I would say though digital excels in being able to be replicated, and versioned.
My thoughts exactly, what's next "cigarettes are bad for your health, fossil fuels may have something to do with climate change"
I've been somewhat interested, I've heard very similar descriptions of it. Honestly the second game is one I'd really like to play, but I have no desire at all to play the completely unrelated game that you have to finish to get to it.

It's been a long time, but... wordpress is all sql isn't it? Shouldn't it just be, make a backup of the mysql database on the old server, install mysql and restore the database to the new server, and then point the word press servers configuration to the new database?
