CEO of Brave rants about "lefties," "glowies," George Soros (lemm.ee)

The IRS rules governing nonprofits still required the Mozilla Foundation to beg big to go big: the parent had to go find big grants from Soros, Ford, Knight, MacArthur, and give smaller grants to many. This put it in the lefties-only-no-righty-Irish-need-apply revolving-door personnel sector of NGOs and nonprofits (too many glowies there for me, too). Which meant I had a hostile MoFo over my head the minute I got CEO appointment from the MoCo board...

Of course I can't comment on anything about my exit, for reasons that only the most loopy HN h8ers still can't figure out.

Is ungoogeled-chromium any less skeezy? It's not my main browser but every now and then I need a Chrome based browser or some sites just don't work right.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Ungoogled Chromium does a really good job of taking Google out of Chrome, so far less skeezy. None of that cryptocurrency stuff either.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

Thorium's OK too.

What cryptocurrency is integrated into Chrome?

[–] [email protected] 29 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

Pretty sure the cryptocurrency comment is referring to Brave, not Chrome.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago

Oh.

Gross.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I imagine the implication is that no cryptocurrency stuff is inserted in the spot that google once occupied.

Are there any forks that aren't infested with rabid honeybadgers?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

At least two.

Maybe zen browser! Idk, my only hope is either Ladybird or Servo producing something usable this decade.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I like Zen ! Ladybird Pre-Alpha is scheduled for 2026, so, yeah, maybe this decade.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

Hey I really liked Zen too! But I’m having trouble opening new tabs, like when I’m on a random webpage on the first tab, I go Ctrl T and the prompt comes up. I type in a search query or a URL and when I press enter, it’s a toss up whether the browser decides to override the current tab I’m on or actually load it in a second tab. Is anyone else facing the same issue or did I misconfigure something?
