It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Apparently Brave Browser "melts snowflakes" and is "based" because it's ran by bigots and Web3 grifters. (hexbear.net)

As usual in the comments, programming.dev chuds care a whole lot about performatively not caring and get enraged at the thought of other people caring, thus the advocacy for Brave Browser entirely on the basis of "melting snowflakes" the way thumbheads roll coal because they want to "trigger" people that would prefer an inhabitable environment. morshupls

Could you please share any good alternatives? I've been unaware of these issues until now and to be honest, I doubt that I see myself expending the energy to read this article.

That being said, right now Brave provides a very easy to use ad-free experience that is great for running youtube in the background ad-free. It's pretty good for listening to lectures on youtube and performs much better than podbean which often freezes randomly, a bug that is pretty bad given that I listen to alot of these things while driving and am unable to fidget with it.

Is there a similar browser that has these functionalities that works as well or better? If so I'd gladly switch over and encourage my partner to do the same.
