No uBO? No Adblocker at all?
Cool idea! THis should be more broadly discussed. After some discussion here, where could we share it with the F-Droid community? Is there a forum or such?
My five cents: The problem I see is account stuff. You can use F-Droid without an account, and do not want to require an account for ratings. Yet, having no accounts, it is incredibly easy to manipulate votings.
I would probably prefer a “Git Issue”-like thread for every app, where you have to register. This allows for
In how far? I think it is actually a valid criticism of a very strongly opinionated take.
I guess it is somewhat like paying in cash for your groceries: While anonymous, only you buy at this time of the day your favourite 3 food products, a cup of gluten-free instant ramen and a period product.
I would be concerned about this scenario:
Would that make it basically anonymous?
Well, no. I think there is so much information in there, that the IP address is your least concern.
Not sure. Couldn’t the bots just decrypt it the same way?
Ahhh, didn’t read to the end. Hm. Still not convinced. I don’t want captchas etc to use the internet
While I’m at it, what is the community opinion on NoScript? The first few weeks were a bit of a pain, but now it is actually quite convenient.
I read about one. Let me see if I can still find it…
Edit: I can’t.
Thanks for your reply! Is the web annoyances list better than the built-in one in uBO. Should I disable the standard one?
OnlyOffice vs LibreOffice?

- Antenna
- Banana
- Character
- Deceived

GPT-4, prompt: “List 10 words that start and end with the same letter but are not palindromes.”
Even without the palindrome condition, it got some of these and a few palindromes.
You can pay via Crypto/bank transfer and probably with cash soon.
The Discord thing is a valid point.
I don’t agree on the trust part with you. EVERY SOFTWARE we use boils down to trust. Because let’s be honest, we all don’t read the source code. (most of the time)
And finally there are downsides to such messages: Where do they stop? If someone searches for how to suicide, they should be getting relevant information for their query. Overall, I thought that if you find all the aforementioned things bad, you might like this one. From a liberal perspective, this is great.
Weeeeeird, I asked him on Mastodon, let’s see what he says.
From the linked source (2023), which I assume you can understand as a German speaker:
- Fazit
Insgesamt hinterlässt Brave einen durchwachsenen Eindruck. Die Voreinstellungen des Browsers sind nicht ideal. […]
Unklar bleibt, ob man zur A/B-Testgruppe gehört und welche Daten dabei an die Domain »variations.brave.com« fließen. Ebenfalls fragwürdig ist die Abfrage von Affiliate-Domains über die Domain »laptop-updates.brave.com«.
Passt man die Voreinstellungen an und installiert keine weiteren Add-ons, hat man einen Chromium-Ableger, der offenbar keine Verbindungen zu Google initiiert, aber dennoch unnötige Verbindungen beim Start aufbaut. So ganz passt die Außendarstellung bzw. das Versprechen zum Schutz der Privatsphäre nicht zum tatsächlichen Verhalten in der Praxis.
Can you link to where he says he uses Brave? Maybe I’m wrong here, but this seems sceptical.
More quotes:
(I really don’t want to be toxic, but at least the Mike Kuketz talk is you spreading misinformation)
BTW, another argument is: Don’t use Chromium-based browsers, browser engine diversity is important for an open web.
How is this relevant to Linux? FF release notes get posted here, as FF is the de facto standard browser on Linux distros. Vivaldi isn’t.
I do not want to judge on Vivaldi, I am merely questioning its relevancy to the community here.
