Why is this guy popping up so much lately on Lemmy? I remember thinking this guy was a piece of shit about a decade ago…
I haven’t kept up with the times. Was I right? Or did I become an angry old man 20 years to early?
Crazy to see how much people on here hate this guy
Not of his. This is a known widespread tierlist made by other person (I do not remember if this came from Reddit, a YT video or what, but it is well known)
Never seen anoyone rank brave alongside or even above standard firefox.
No Mull?
Just because PewDiePie switched to Linux doesn’t mean we should listen to his browser recommendations
True but he’s sparking more interest in FOSS so that’s still a good thing. I doubt his advice is perfect but if it gets more people started onto their own journey it’s a win.
You’re right about that, I was moreso saying that his crappy browser tier list isn’t worth sharing
not his recommendations
I know it’s been said, but Brave is a hard no. Replace it with Ungoogled Chromium. I haven’t seen the video so I don’t understand why it’s in the “not ideal for a normal human” list, and I am biased since I use plenty of “not for normal” tools.
I believe its this: https://lemmy.world/post/32106925/17916457
that is not his list, just a random screenshot.
Ngl, feel like his tier list is based on usability while avoiding big tech.
Tbh even if this tierlist is not the best or great, it still is “good enough”. Plus the most important thing is to get tons of people interested.
I rather have “good enough” tier list that reaches to millions of people, then have a perfect tierlist that only reaches out to less than a dozen people.
Because amongst the millions of people who are interested, thousands of them will do their own research into privacy and dig deeper into it.
Plus right now, the biggest weakness of privacy is the fact that our community is too small to make an impact.
Having someone give this much outreach and influence to attract attention towards privacy is a good thing. (well, as long as their advice are on the positive end of the spectrum, and pewdiepie’s advise surely is, even if its not perfect)
Where’s ladybird
Edit - I didn’t know about the Transphobia going on there. that is unjustifiable.
gimmie a download link
Ladybird Trattoria? About 10 minutes away from Linus Media Group.
Not sure why you asked but you now have an answer, hope it helps
Superiority complex in the comments.
The only problem with Ungoogled that makes it “not ideal for a normal human” is that fact that it is still cumbersome af to download it. Regular people don’t know github and how to click on “show all assets” and pick the right build.
Is https://download-chromium.appspot.com/ not good enough?
I don’t use this as a my main browser though, just for testing. I don’t recommend Chromium backends due to Google control over it.
That’s not Ungoogled Chromium, at all. Not even close.
Right, is https://github.com/ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium then? Take like 4 clicks to get a working AppImage.
Do you not realize that regular users may struggle to install extensions without the extension store? This is because ungoogled Chromium lacks that feature.
Not a problem in Vivaldi, you can install even pure scripts as extension, without the need of an Userscript Manager, like TamperMonkey or similar. Due to the great amount of features, most extension from the Chrome Store are anyway redundant.
No I did not and I’m not sure what you imagine “regular users” might be. I feel that if someone goes the extra length to get their browser outside of a store, they can do the same with extensions, is it extravagant?
It’s a youtuber, who made this, and people feel hurt, because he doesn’t put their browser at the top. That’s just sad. He puts Firefox at the top - I use Firefox, and I still don’t care what he thinks about it. I make informed choices, it’s not religion for me…
He didn’t even made this, is a screenshot of a bunch of browsers that appears for 2 seconds on a video.
Then it’s evwn dumber of people to judge pewdiepie over where browsers are on the list…
No Zen-Browser (though I am not sure when this vid was made), and Pale Moon should be in the “Not ideal for a normal human” at best.
LibreWolf W. Missing my boy Zen Browser on there tho
Edit: also RIP Mull 😔✊
Putting Cromite at the bottom most tier makes me discard the entire thing.
And Brave at the top lmao.
This dude poopoopie has always been garbage.
Your comment made me look at the list again. I didn’t even realise Brave is located at the very top.
Also, why is “not ideal for a normal human” at the middle of the list?
Garbage, indeed.
It’s not his list, yet you goons shit on him like it is. Didn’t watch the video, just came to hate without context… Sad.
