I use Firefox on both my phone and my desktop.
YSK that every Chromium-based browser is harmful and should be avoided, regardless of how up-to-date it is.
Unless your prep includes "fight against it politically, tooth and nail," you're only delaying the inevitable.
There is no such thing as a technological solution to what is fundamentally a political problem. Ultimately, the fascists pushing this shit have to be destroyed or they will destroy us.
Because I have self-respect.
As the owner of both a Pixel 8 running Graphene and a Pinephone, you really aren't missing anything.
Let's be honest: you're gonna end up like Barclay, with a holo-porn addiction instead.
Wait, if that could work, what stops them from just turning Senate procedures into a game of fizzbin? Only the threat of Democrats retaliating in kind when they get power again?
And presidents (and expresidents) are (and should be) treated differently than other people.
Only if by that you mean held to a higher standard, not a lower one.
You forgot the leading @ and your username mention turned into a mailto link.
I'm not convinced it wasn't mostly dead before Steam, TBH. I mean I guess there was "lending" (read: copying), but there was never a "GameStop for PC games" the way there was for console games. And even the "lending" was somewhat curtailed by CD-keys and account registration before Steam existed.
As a GrapheneOS user I'm aware of the developers' arguments for it, but it has the same problem as every other Chromium browser: Google controls the upstream code, so it's still going to contribute to Google's harmful hegemony over web standards.
It probably is more "secure" than Firefox, though, measured against the GrapheneOS devs' threat model. But my problem with Chromium is one they don't even try to address.
