Like 99% of the population I was used to traditional mices for basically my whole life, so I have to get the hang of them…

Sure! Then, of course, you have to get used to vertical movements instead of having to move the mouse on a flat surface.

Did I force OP to use Firefox or anything? Yes? No? Did I tell him “NOOOO YOU CAN’T USE CHROMIUM BROWSERS!!!”? I don’t think I forced anybody to do what I say. Mine were only recommendations, according to MY own experiences.

There is no Chromium-based with good privacy and auto-updates, it is obvious that Gecko-based browsers are superior for privacy. Blink-based if you want security instead. If you know any Blink browser with good privacy and auto-updates, you’re welcome to give recommendations, instead of attacking other people. And no, UG Chromium does not have automatic updates.

I believe is because of replies like yours that people think privacy advocates are aggressive and toxic, don’t you think?

EDIT: if you want a good amount of privacy, you have to give up on a good amount of convenience. The same goes for the opposite. Period.

Literally all modern browsers look and behave the same, so, I will never understand people saying such statements…

Anything that is not Edge, Chrome, Brave, Vivaldi, vanilla Chromium, and Dissenter.

Basically, if you want a private browser, you better off using tweaked Firefox, Librewolf if you’re lazy, GNU IceCat or Pale Moon.

> Google Search -> DuckDuckGo There are more private solutions, such as SearX.

> YouTube -> Vimeo You can’t be serious…

> Google Maps -> Apple Maps No.

> Android -> iOS Is this post just an Apple shill, or something? Why?

> Google Chrome -> Safari Okay, it IS an Apple shilling post…

> Google Chrome -> Brave/Vivaldi Oh God… are these REALLY private solutions? SERIOUSLY??

> Google Hangouts -> FaceTime/Microsoft Teams I give up.

“spreadprivacy.com”? Where is the privacy part? All they are doing is make people drop Google for other corporate solutions! Doing so we’re just giving our data to other corporations instead of Google! Is this really the solution? Apple, Amazon, Facebook, Microsoft, Netflix… all of them should be avoided as much as possible.

Do you want private solutions? OBLITERATE. ANY. KIND. OF. CORPORATE. SOFTWARE.

I’m sorry if I sound rude or aggressive, but this post is bullshit and it’s just spreading misinformation. It doesn’t provide any help, the opposite, it’s just promoting the use of more coporate software instead of FLOSS and decentralized solutions made by the community.

Same mindset with CLI but way lazier and user-friendly: why would anyone want to dig into menus or type things out when we can use our voice to input commands? Wow, what a convenience!

It’s really unfortunate, since LBRY/Odysee is one of the most complete video hosting websites that might actually compete against YouTube, but since the beginning it gave me a “too good to be true” feeling. But the reason behind it was: LBRY was never meant to be a private YouTube, nor is trying to hide it. People just got misinformated…

FLOSS =/= Private

Don’t worry, it’s called anxiety. There are many people like you, me, and many other around the globe! ¯_(ツ)_/¯
