@kaia brave is shit
@gettie yes. i have tech friends who use that and don't understand why
@kaia @gettie @sun i use it too, it's just a normal browser. built in adblock is nice, rest i ignore because it's barely there. i wonder if that origin thing makse any money. seem to me like the gorup of people who's likely to care about this stuff is not paying for software, and the people who are paying for software don't care about this.

@phnt @gettie @kaia @sun kagi have their orion browser which has a more explicit 'this is a paid product' approach, i used it for a while but i prefer brave. not happy that i wanted to switch from firefox but it has been declining so much (both in product and in management) that i don't really see a reason to keep using it.
@sun @gettie @phnt @kaia these days i have a different view of free software (essentially, i just don't think copyright is valid at all), so i'm not worried about proprietary stuff or good intentions that much. i know i ran the phone stack that kaia is running for a while but the main people behind it are completely lunatics, so yeah i'd rather trust in apple to keep my stuff safe than people who melt down on matrix.

@lain @gettie @phnt @kaia well for me it is that but also it was just a more flexible browser which I liked.
I don't really think you have a right to the source code of software (people can enter into any type of non-exploitative agreement they want) I just think it's a good idea to demand the source.
