Okay, I'm now really getting tired of the same old ignorant social media posts about ethics in technology. "I don't care about the political positions or ethics" of a tech project, group, or company is a sign of luxury and privilege and also utter disregard for the most oppressed and marginalised people that is, to be honest, fucking embarrassing. We ought to always seek better options. Surely the terrible harmful actions of even the likes of Google and Meta have made it obviously necessary.
Speaking of ethics, I'm particularly interested in privacy, security, non-profits, co-ops, and worker-owned initiatives, and I absolutely loathe Google et al. I've always come back to the Mozilla Foundation and the Firefox web browser over the years, I rejected Brave because of that bigot Brendan Eich, but the funding from Google itself makes Mozilla a problematic option. I just this week finally tried out Vivaldi web browser and built-in email client from the worker-owned Vivaldi Tech in Norway, and it's *so* powerful and versatile, albeit based on Chromium, with Chrome Web Store access. Also, Firefox containers are a biggie for me. Ah! I'm now feeling conflicted again! #WebBrowsers #Vivaldi #Firefox #Mozilla
@MediaActivist try LibreWolf! It's Firefox, but with all the google and pocket shit (and proprietary blobs) ripped out and the security settings maxed. They are very up to date with upstream Firefox too. It's what I use
@anarchopunk_girl I used LibreWolf for quite a while but was a bit intense for my needs and a few things broke haha, but yes, I should have mentioned how awesome LibreWolf is!
