I'm a Linux users since 1999ish and I find extremely annoying and condescending these kind of titles.

What about "Hey! I tried Linux and it's cool! Let me show you!", instead?

Yup, I was about to comment on that as well, but didn't want my question to be interpreted as polemic.

Fine. Thank you for the clarification.

Understood. Obviously, all things being equal, I prefer (F)OSS too. Anyway, I'll probably play a bit with Orion, if possible.

Just curious, but is this really a big deal? As a customer, you already trust Kagi enough to feed them your entire search history, so I guess you don't think they're bad actors. Thus, why you find problematic the (momentary?) "unopeness" of the browser? I'd gladly try it (I'm on Arch), even just out of curiosity (unlikely to make it my main, though).

Jeez, downvoted for asking about context? People, calm down.

This never happened.

That's just Shelob's nest.

Yeah... At home we have partially solved this problem by using a BT speaker on the table, as we mostly watch movie while we have dinner. Simple and effective.

Incidentally, that's the reason why I love photography in Nolan's movies: he seems to love scenes with bright light in which you can actually see what's going on.

Most other movies/series instead are so dark that make my mid-range TV look like crap. And no, it's not an HW fault, as 500 nits should be enough to watch a movie.

Let me write those down, to be sure no to go there by mistake.

Because quantity > quality, as long as Google keeps making money from your time, engagement and attention. Easy.

Same as mine. I just don't use YouTube at all and search for information on alternative sources, preferably in text form.

I can do all of that on my Thinkpad E14.

You didn't. You just needed to brag about your choices. Let me tell you a secret: nobody cares, you're not special and you're not saving the internet. I can't stand Mozilla's absolutists, above all when it's an absolutely terrible company, as bad as Google (just smaller) and it made me leave Firefox for good after... 20 years? They don't care about users anymore, they're just after the money.

Don't you want Chrome/Chromium? Well, you can't have a nice extension, as the developer can't likely be bothered with your paranoia. Nobody cares what you allows or what you don't on your devices. Stick with your browser and stop complaining.

On a side note, let's not even mention the equally terrible FF/Mozilla community, accusing people of "working for Google" (happened twice in two days) every time someone calls them out. What a idiocy.

Well, in my opinion you've been very snarky and rude to OP.

Maybe the OP doesn't allow Firefox on their personal devices and is so unable to develop for it.

No way I'd give away 1000 € in exchange to be allowed to buy from some store. Actually, I don't even have an Amazon account, but if I did, I'd prefer to be banned than to burn 1000 € like that.

No, thanks. I don't want my taxes to fund a(nother) failed Corp. If they aren't able to stay afloat (after 20 years of miliking billons from the evil Google), just let them sink.

Can you please tell me how a purely opt-in feature is a scam? I'm all ears.

the crypto stuff is completely opt-in.

Been running it since 2021. The adblocker is simply great. A d keeps getting better.

I'd try it but sadly disassembling an IP68 device is a no go for me. :(

Brave+ControlD, for me. I'm not interested in YouTube, so don't care about that part.

Nope, they don't "put ads on the site". That's not how it works.

Teams is literally the worst program I have ever used. Whoever designed that interface should be publicly shamed.

Same. It is quite difficult for me to understand the current YouTube addiction... I can go literally years without even opening it.

May be because of this that trying to pay with PayPal on Lenovo's website has failed thrice for me today? Just asking... Knowing how everything is connected nowadays it wouldn't surprise me at all.

I migrated from FF to Brave some 4 years ago and never looked back.
