Like with fucking, friction is the difference between pleasure and pain. If I click a YT link and the video starts playing, no lag, no buffering, just plays, I will come back.
I tried to watch the French dude describing Texas, hosted on Peertube. It took 17 minutes, 3 attempts, 2 error messages, lag while playing.
Can’t change the paradigm with thrift.
Very constructive comment. There is no perfect browser, dude, but I wouldn’t call Vivaldi garbage. They are really trying to make a difference with the technology at hand. I mean, it is kind of hard to make a browser from scratch.
Their question is: how much would you pay for not using a Chromium based browser?
People switching to the browser and zapping all ads, demanding open source and vitriol for any kind of monetization. How can they survive? They would have to become a subsidized utility, which not even the Internet as a whole has achieved.
I started paying for Kagi. Works like Google in 2019. Fast, useful and customizable. One of the best features is hiding results from shit sites like Reddit, which blocks me for using a VPN. $10 well spent just to have that option.
Agh, gross.
I started using Xiaomi Redmi Note 7pro back in 2019 and have upgraded every year. At $300 average price tag, it is a fantastic device. HyperOS is really good and my current Redmi Note 13pro came with some garbage but it was easy to remove/disable.
It works. In Vivaldi just add the parameter at the end of the search URL in the search settings configuration.
These hicks have contributed, influenced or affected so little of benefit, they need to give themselves medals when they came second on a two players race to feel they somehow matter.
It’s so sad if it wasn’t for the fact the whole “heritage” is defending the right to own and abuse people.
