This is unfortunate. I've been advocating for Firefox and managed to switch many of my friends. This is where I draw the line.

Time to switch to something else.

On desktop, it's easy: Zen Browser, Qutebrowser, Mullvad Browser.....etc.

It is the mobile one that is difficult. Literally everything non Chrome sucks.

May I suggest we switch to a gopher or gemini internet?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

One thing about gopher/gemini is that it's practically designed to be easily scraped by AI.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 17 hours ago

Which I'd consider not a variable anylonger tbh: anything on the internet that is not put behind a login wall should be assumed as scrapped, machines can work 24/7 like humans and downloading is easy.

Like sure, we gotta fight that, but technology for open access is not the field where that fight has to be fought.
