Brave is my backup for Firefox. I simply never signed up for bat and removed the icon from the bar.

I'm sure they're collecting and will sell my information to anybody that will pay, But that information will be less reaching than Microsoft or Google, their fingerprinting against other sites is very good so it's probably limiting my exposure more Even though they're also a broker. How I keep them around for the ad blocking alone, they actually have a team of paid developers to keep YouTube and browser ads at bay, they're also doing the ad blocking in the core application instead of the plugins so it's not something that can be easily bypassed.

Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

  • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!
