I mean, yeah, privacy isn't really a thing in our digital surveillance age. Doesn't mean I'm not gonna make it as hard as possible for them. Make em work for it.

In this community everyone is welcome to post links and discuss topics related to privacy.

- If you have a question, please try searching for previous discussions, maybe it has already been answered
- Reposts are fine, but should have at least a couple of weeks in between so that the post can reach a new audience

much thanks to @gary_host_laptop for the logo design :)
The one saying they use copilot for math problems is the worst part. It demonstrates their complete lack of critical thinking.
I use Edge on my work laptop because:
- Vertical Tabs
- Logs into my SSO account
- Leaks info from my computer like a sieve (it's my employer's info, and they don't deserve privacy)
- Vertical Tabs
Brave, Vivaldi, Arc, Floorp and Zen have those
Never say privacy. Always say libre software. That's why.
The op in that post is 14 years old at most. Just look at how that shot is tailored.
I don’t think I’ve had an issue on Firefox other than some sites saying “unsupported browser,” which is really the site’s fault.
I found Firefox to be much slower than Chrome... 10 years ago. Now, not only is it just as fast, it's a much better experience all around.

Microsoft Edge, based on Google's Copium engine-
Copium indeed
Get off Reddit. Karma grind is not worth it.
Agree, I am primarily on lemmy now. People here are way nicer to each other than Reddit

If one has the right kind of opinions. 🤷
Why? It's because they never arrived at their current behavior by a systematic progression of logical steps. Most of the behaviors we exhibit aren't that way. We just offer a post-hoc explanation/justification. They use edge, so they defend their action with any argument assertion they can think of.
It's also (sort of) because they want to tip the proverbial scale towards their current use. Change takes effort and can be irritating. They have their list of positives about edge (faster, easier, etc.), and they downplay the negatives such as privacy.
Is that the same as the misnomer or fallacy that privacy is dead?
Reddit be like.
Yeah a very reddit moment
An excuse to still be right.
Privacy also doesn't exist when you have the entire website being indexed
I'm also a firm believer in you don't need to freely give up your data
I did not realize "spezit" was "spez" and "reddit" until I reread your commnt lol. I thought was some reddit privacy frontend with the German pronunciation of "z".
Damn, how did you get three complete troglodytes in one place?
~~Normies~~ bots
What's the difference anymore?
Off-topic, but I do agree in general that Edge is a solid browser. I use it when I'm at work and really love the vertical tabs and tab groups. I use firefox for personal use and am patiently waiting for the vertical tabs on the stable release (and not just in about:config).
My "progressive" friends are this way - "everyone already has everything, whatever who cares"
