The classic combo

 

I was recently told about Vivaldi, and I’m excited about it. I love the privacy features and the tab organization. Proton VPN is built in, so it looks as if Proton is the best VPN extension for the browser. I imagine that other Proton products work well with it too.

What’s your favorite browser and browser extension(s) right now?

There are “de bloat” tutorials for Brave on YouTube.

Malwarebytes Browser Guard seems to work better for Vivaldi than uBO or uBO lite

I mean… yeah. It’s always beneficial for people not to know how much money one has… I can’t really imagine a situation where it wouldn’t be.

That makes sense.

If that’s the case, why don’t they pull the Renaissance artist scam and just take a bunch of money and swear they’re working on stuff? If they don’t have to prove anything, why use any energy at all?

Oh sorry, I meant to say it is unnecessary for you to humble or correct anyone, and if it ever becomes necessary, its still not your job. Edit: Probably should have said this to everyone in this thread though, not just you, sorry for making it out like you're the only one doing this.

I didn't say it was a good choice, not sure I made any kind of statement you could nitpick or impose judgement upon me for, and if I did, I edited it out because I predicted you being insufferable. "I think they're mining bitcoin" is not the exact same statement as "bitcoin is good" or "AI is good." I don't actually mind either bitcoin or AI, I think like alcohol they're fine in moderation, but that's not what my post is about.

 

It doesn't take that much energy and power to run an LLM or an image generator, and sure, it would take a lot with so many users connecting, across so many servers... but there's just no way they're not mining bitcoin. My math might not be mathing but it seems like AI doesn't justify the power use and it seems like everybody's lying.

Someone who knows more about this inform me of your opinions
