I use Brave to test whether my websites work on Chromium browsers, but their scummy actions lately make me want to find a new Chromium browser to test with. What's the best Chromium based browser?

I already use Firefox for browsing normally, but I have to test on a Chromium based browser too. One soft requirement is that it should be installable with Flatpak on Linux.

YungOnions,

Tempest browser is basically Brave but without the Crypto stuff. It’s still in beta atm so take that as you will.

YungOnions,

I switched to Thorium browser, seems pretty good. There’s also Tempest Browser which is still in Beta, but is a bit like Brave but without the Crypto and some other features. I recommend Thorium, tbh. Seems to work well and has a lot of performance patches added, as well as security. More here: youtu.be/naDYUVFs1-8?si=eC1CtA4q-oF1L8ix

YungOnions,

Good list. Ublock Origin and Sponsorblock are basically essential for YouTube these days. DeArrow helps to.

YungOnions,

Did you prefer it to Breaking Bad?

YungOnions,

Outrageous.

Honestly - How much will you sacrifice for a better world?

Confronted with the likelihood that we cannot achieve climate goals, confront socioeconomic inequality, and ultimately build a better world without significant personal sacrifice: How much are you personally capable and willing to lose? I mean this in the most earnest way possible. Acknowledging the likely possibility of working...

YungOnions, (edited )

Insignificant in the wider picture, maybe. But as you imply we have little to no control over that. All we can influence is our own actions, and hope that will be enough. The problem with the defeatist attitude that so often surrounds any discourse regarding, for example, climate change is that by declaring success impossible before you even try, all you do is guarantee failure.

All one need do is chose what changes one wishes to make and then make them to the best of one’s abilities. That’s it. If you can look yourself in the eye and say ‘I did all I could. I did my best’ then you have succeeded. Will it achieve everything we want it to? Maybe not, but it’ll achieve 100% more than not trying. Ultimately we all have a responsibility to do what we can. So I argue we should all try and do just that and be content that we did our best, because I will not except defeat. How about you?

YungOnions,

You mention ‘solve world hunger’, implying you know that’s the outcome already. That’s an easier choice then, isn’t it. The point I’m making is that doing something because it’s the right thing to do regardless of whether you know it’s going to work is what makes it a bigger sacrifice. The person I was replying to was also implying they would only consider sacrificing something if they knew the outcome first. If we all did that we’d never achieve anything.

YungOnions,

If you already knew the outcome, it wouldn’t be much of a sacrifice would it. Sometimes we need to do something because it’s the right thing to do, not because it guarantees success.

YungOnions, (edited )

Then it sounds like you’ve made your choices, and you should be satisfied with them. That’s a good thing. Those compromises and reductions have moved the needle. A little, maybe, but it’s still doing something. Good for you. 👍.

YungOnions,

All good news! Thanks for sharing!

YungOnions,

There is no Season 2 of Altered Carbon. You’re mistaken. You’re. Mistaken.
