If you try googling any of this, you will find a shit ton of christian cope

“Cope” is basically the foundation of most religions.

Mostly because 90% of what’s in The Bible is gobblederemoved, twisted and contorted by a wide variety of opportunistic con men over the course of thousands of years, written in such a vague way as to easily be interpreted to mean whatever they want it to mean.

Similar to the way Trump speaks in vague generalities and word salad, and people hear whatever they want to hear, which of course leads to massive problems when you’re the leader or aspiring leader of the free world.

Coming at him with a personal insult is not the way to go about this.

The correct way is to point out that most Christmas traditions are not rooted in Christianity, but in paganism.

That’s the exact opposite of what most people want from an app like this.

People that don’t care about their privacy is exactly what makes it so hard to just exist privately. I shouldn’t have to give up my rights because other people don’t care about them

Wait until you hear about the listening devices that 90% of people carry around in their pockets everywhere they go.

Please add Grayjay from FUTO.

Just disable the ads, crypto and telemetry and suddenly none of those things are a problem anymore, just like Firefox.

• You can’t actually own movies anymore unless you buy physical copies (which are subject to damage over time).
• You’re dependent on someone else’s servers to stream the movies.
• The providers can and have removed movies you’ve paid for.
• Not dependent on your internet connection, which can be unreliable for many.

Why not both?

I think in reality the Chrome web browser is a huge threat to Internet freedom and should be a top priority.

Why do people fuck up things that work?

Depends on what you mean by “work”. If by “work” you mean is enjoyable to use, I understand. If by “work” you mean sustains a business, then no.

No I’ve got an Oculus Go. And it’s got bullshit Facebook spyware on it.

Nah I’m good. Not really that cool anyway after a few hours.

Maybe one day I’ll get a Valve Index.

I have to imagine they will strip it because if they don’t, it’ll be dead to all of their users.

Will I never picked it up again to find out.

I have one. Not long after I bought it, it became a brick because it forced a software update that forced a Facebook sign in to use it.

How hard can you simp for Vivaldi. Jesus Christ.

I use 5 different browsers, zero of which are Vivaldi, and thus do not “simp” for Vivaldi. The only “simping” I do is for the truth. The Google hate train is valid but misplaced in this instance.

You don’t think Google themselves admitting that Chromium has the same privacy notice is substantial?

You’re simply deliberately misreading my comment because what I said is not that it’s unsubstantial, I said that it’s inaccurate. Google does not and cannot have any control over any Chromium forks or their respective individual privacy policies’. This statement only pertains to the Chromium web browser.

I can see that you have no interest in an honest discussion so I won’t be engaging with you further. Bye.

To me it’s clear, based on your personal attacks, that you have no interest in an honest discussion so I will not engage with you further. Goodbye.

Have you even tried searching for it?

Of course I have. I’ve never found any substantiation, which is why I’m asking. I use them every day so I would certainly like to know if there is, but the concerns I constantly see only apply to Chrome, and not Chromium-based browsers.

Google even says so for Chromium on its own official page!

This is specifically for the Chromium browser, not Chromium-based browsers. I know, it’s confusing. Chromium is basically just the open-sourced version of Chrome.

Plus, Google actively creates and pushes for their “standards” via Chrome(ium), which allows them to push for even more surveillance.

This is yet another item attributed to Chrome and it’s users. You can totally create a Chromium fork that adheres to conventional standards.

Agreed, you get to pick between a system that empowers you to do whatever you like, or an unborkable system.

Yeah that’s not true. There is no such thing as an “unborkable” system. There are, however, systems that aren’t often borked by their developers, and systems that are easy or intuitive to fix when they do become borked, or systems that quickly ship a fix when they do become “borked” (this is Windows BTW).

The implication that any “borked” Linux install was somehow self-inflicted by the user is ridiculous.

since they’re chromium i don’t trust them an inch with my personal data.

This is such a ridiculous position. Do you have any evidence at all that every Chromium browser (even the ones specifically designed to avoid this) are transmitting your personal data?
