      Okay, but change to what then? All the other options are just Chrome, Safari, and Firefox again.

        Ungoogle-Chromium, Brave, Vivaldi, Librewolf, anything that isn’t paid by Google. That they are still based on Chrome or Firefox doesn’t really matter, since they remove the undesirable parts of them.

          Actually it does matter, since Google are killing off the ability for ad blockers to work with a new manifest specification in Chromium.

          In the case of Brave and Vivaldi, they add their own undesirable parts (Brave adds crypto bullshit and Vivaldi is closed-source, so $DEITY knows what they’re adding).

          Librewolf is open and doesn’t contribute to the Chromium monoculture; so it’s the best option

      Lol, reading that “censorship” section alone tells you all you need to know about the author there.

      Literally hammering 1984 quotes like they love to do (dude, if Mozilla has the same kind of power as the Party, I must be chilling under a rock somewhere). Even has one of their sections called “Cucking to Manifest V3”.

      Back to the “censorship”:

      They want to algorithmically decide which content is allowed to be posted, and which isn’t. This is especially relevant in the context of the fake pandemic, during which the whole world has been enslaved exactly thanks to the propagation of the “factual voices” over the so-called “disinformation”. The “disinformation” here includes mentioning the factual harm done by COVID vaccines or even proven alternative treatments for COVID itself. So, Mozilla supports a world where people are harmed without being able to defend themselves.

      Yeah, sorry. No. People with this little regard for reality shouldn’t be taken seriously when presenting arguments.

      This whole screed is aimed at a very particular brand of user that looooooves to pretend they’re all “facts”, when it’s just emotional outrage over perceived slights. Same ones who complained about DDG when they tried to deal with Russian propaganda links showing up too often.

      It’s all very conspiratorial, as is expected, yet offers no real answers because conspiracies very rarely have any.

      Also, have to lol at the SystemD shit showing up at the end there as well.

          Your link doesn’t seem to support your statement. Do you mean the part that advocates “turn on by default” tools to amplify factual information over disinformation? Because “turn on by default” implies an off switch.

          It’s not possible for search engines to make zero decisions about what to prioritize in results, anyway. How would you prefer they sort the absurd quantity of results? Especially now SEO listicles try to drown everything else out?
