Sadly between marketshare and doing.... whatever, i'm making the transition to Chrome from Firefox as the primary browser.

In my line of work , I need to regularly see what my customers see for better or for worse. Adding precautions but Firefox and Safari will still be used. I'd rather not deal w/ Brave.

I can hear pitchhooks been sharpened already. I'm posting this mainly so when i look back in davidbisset.social I can see when i did this.

@davidbisset have a look at #Vivaldi. It's based on chromium. The company is clean.

@davidbisset What are your thoughts on DuckDuckGo as a personal use browser? I appreciate we need others to review/test.

@liamdempsey @davidbisset from what I've read, DuckDuckGo is just a skin over an existing browser. On Windows, for exemple, it's using Edge. On Mac, Safari.

@s1r83r @liamdempsey @davidbisset Hey! I heard someone say “DuckDuckGo” and I got notified 🦆 DuckDuckGo is a browser built using WebView2 for Windows, Webview for Android, and WKWebView for iOS and macOS. This thread answers it really well: reddit.com/r/duckduckgo/commen

@davidbisset Another plus one for @Vivaldi. It’s aggressively un-Googled Chromium, no crypto, no AI, and a thriving community that they actually listen to.

@davidbisset I use Chrome as primary and then a mix of other browsers as alternates. There are many great browsers out there, fun to experiment.

@davidbisset i haven`t read todays news, but is it related to Mozilla being short on money (as usual)?

@ramon @davidbisset

They do all they can to milk their remaining users

@s1r83r @ramon Like I said it's multilpe causes. If they were on the up-and-up I wouldn't mind the marketshare issue. My spidey senses are tingling and I've been in this long enough to pay attention to those.
