A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Okay, but change to what then? All the other options are just Chrome, Safari, and Firefox again.
Ungoogle-Chromium, Brave, Vivaldi, Librewolf, anything that isn't paid by Google. That they are still based on Chrome or Firefox doesn't really matter, since they remove the undesirable parts of them.
Actually it does matter, since Google are killing off the ability for ad blockers to work with a new manifest specification in Chromium.
In the case of Brave and Vivaldi, they add their own undesirable parts (Brave adds crypto bullshit and Vivaldi is closed-source, so $DEITY knows what they're adding).
Librewolf is open and doesn't contribute to the Chromium monoculture; so it's the best option

Lol, reading that "censorship" section alone tells you all you need to know about the author there.
Literally hammering 1984 quotes like they love to do (dude, if Mozilla has the same kind of power as the Party, I must be chilling under a rock somewhere). Even has one of their sections called "Cucking to Manifest V3".
Back to the "censorship":
Yeah, sorry. No. People with this little regard for reality shouldn't be taken seriously when presenting arguments.
This whole screed is aimed at a very particular brand of user that looooooves to pretend they're all "facts", when it's just emotional outrage over perceived slights. Same ones who complained about DDG when they tried to deal with Russian propaganda links showing up too often.
It's all very conspiratorial, as is expected, yet offers no real answers because conspiracies very rarely have any.
Also, have to lol at the SystemD shit showing up at the end there as well.
The site is obviously a bit over the top, however that doesn't change the fact that the (criminally overpaid) Mozilla CEO openly endorses censorship:
Your link doesn't seem to support your statement. Do you mean the part that advocates "turn on by default" tools to amplify factual information over disinformation? Because "turn on by default" implies an off switch.
It's not possible for search engines to make zero decisions about what to prioritize in results, anyway. How would you prefer they sort the absurd quantity of results? Especially now SEO listicles try to drown everything else out?
