Every time I try a new browser because the old browser was run by horrible people I find the new browser is also run by horrible people. I'm running out of browsers. I worry browser are big and complicated enough these days that they will always be run by horrible people. Feels like I need to find the browser run by the least horrible people.
@grumpygamer Falkon if you're using GNU/Linux.

Vivaldi seems OK, unless I missed something. They always hated cryptos and AI, for example. They are not open source, though.
@jcurioso @grumpygamer In this age, I take non-open source if it halfway works and isn't promoting fascism.

Second vote for Vivaldi. It's degoogled chr9mium, but they're good people.

@grumpygamer I’ve been living with Vivaldi for a while without complaint so far.

@grumpygamer Cross out "browser". Put in "anything". this is Capitalism.

@grumpygamer I’ve been to some talks with people from Vivaldi and they seem to be very into taking the internet back from evil megacorps. Based in Norway. They did some cool stunts a while back trying to get people off the meta:

Feature wise, I think it is the most complete I know; the only thing I am missing now is container tabs. It uses the same engine as Chrome, after all.

@grumpygamer if you don't mind that it doesn't work, #Ladybird browser from the #SerenityOS people might be a thing.

@grumpygamer ...is there something I don't know about Vivaldi?

@GossiTheDog @grumpygamer same, been using it for years and they haven't done anything so far. Always time for them to sell it to the Chinese like they did with Opera, but here's hoping that doesn't happen.

And that's why some people are falling back to the freakin' Gemini protocol, of all things. Well, in this world, the only choices to not be accessory to evil are apparently either that or boycotting anything that runs on electricity -

I still don't trust Vivaldi's closed-source part of their browser to be clean, in that sense even Brave has them beat to the part unfortunately. For now, I guess Waterfox is the least bad of the bunch -
@grumpygamer LibreWolf?
works well enough for me. IronFox on Android
