Not sure if I will continue using Gentoo, but thats what I’ve been using for the past.

I was curious just to try to install it, but after I did it and learned about portage (package manager) and the USE flags and I really liked it beacause it gives you so much control. For example, dont want packages to have bluetooth because your motherboard doesn’t support bluetooth? You can do it via USE flags per package or globally. Idk I just really like this.

But im hella busy rn in college so I might go back to arch or fedora.

Edit: Brain no worky meant to say for the past month… mb

+1 for newsboat. I wasnt looking for anything thats light but decided to try it out and its perfect for what I need

Well if you’re talking about privacy, then the answer is yes. Vivaldi only collects what pc specs you have or something like that to see how many users day have. Way better than what google chrome does. But I guess yes you are technically supporting the chromium engine monopoly but tbh just use what you like.

In adittion to this make sure to disable the telemetry that’s on by default. If you want even better protection from fingerprinting etc, use arkenfox/librewolf (librewolf being preconfigured fork of firefox)

Yeah wayland has been working surprisingly well for me here too. It’s just annoying that they’ve again fucked up and now can’t have a monitor above 144hz if there is more than one enabled… Literally aids.

And there won’t be because brave doesn’t like it when someone forks the browser.

This looks great!

Not that I know of but I use libredirect.

I’ve always just used Bitwarden even before I cared about privacy

I an new myself but I dont think it does. Only difference there might be is that some just lag more (lemmy.ml) due to so many users.

Searxng (searx.be) / startpage

Brave is more private than Vivaldi, but both options are good. Vivaldi’s main focus isn’t really privacy though. Like they don’t sell your data nor collect it (other than some info to see I guess how many users there are?). So if you like the features that Vivaldi has (which is a lot) then VIvaldi sin’t a bad option. So really just test em out and see what you like.

Yeah, I was using Edge before I started caring about my privacy. It’s literally the fastest chromium browser and has a bunch of cool features. But as @CheshireSnake said, privacy wise Edge isn’t an option.

I mean I’m not surprised it’s… It’s Microsoft.

It took sometime getting used to, but I am really enjoying this and just waiting to see how many people will stay here.
