I’m definitely the guy watching the mountain.

Love this

They aren’t challenging anything, don’t be delusional. But, hey, I can’t stop you from believing their narrative, (and in fairy tales) if that can make you happy.

This is a project I gladly donate to.

Major alternative? At 2.x% market share? You people are very delusional. By the way, the shitty market share is exclusively Mozilla’s fault, even if they’re always complaining about evil Google (while they take that sweet 500 M/years from that evil company and waste them on anything but fixing their shitty browser). Mozilla is ascummy/scammy company that should have died years ago. I’ll celebrate their fall.

Nope, they just follow the money (hint: Trump). And they were doing that before (i.e., pretending to be diversity-friendly). Corps have no ethics nor morals, the just follow the money.

Feel free to donate, then. For all I care…

Again, what you donate don’t fund FF development but goes toward Mozilla’s bullshit/activism/whatever/huge CEO paychecks. Who cares about that?

I for sure don’t. I will celebrate the day Mozilla disappears for good.

Yeah, because 500 M/year from Google are not enough. Gotta increase the CEO paycheck. Moreover, donations don’t even fund FF development.

Again, you do you.

Me on a RPi4.

That’s really deep /s

The addition of an option is a good reminder for you to talk about your book. Fine. GBoard is still king for those of us who use 3 languages at the same time. Unrequested suggestions and virtus signaling are sooo annoying…

More than 2 years with my personal domain and I can’t remember a single spam email… But you do you.

A catch-all domain address with whois privacy and hosted elsewhere helps a lot.

Well, yeah, though luck… Amazon (the store) is entirely banned from my house.

It works, but it needs a bit of work. In particular, you need a router capable of redirecting all DNS call to the DNS you specify (Asus routers can do that, for instance). Moreover, one should also use a blocklist to forbid the connection to most common DoT/DoH public servers, such as

tl;dr It can be done and it’s relatively easy, but one has to learn how to do it and choose proper tools (HW and SW).

I went from pihole, to Adguard Home to (finally) ControlD. I chose to eventually outsource the DNS because I was letting all family without connection when playing with my miniserver :-P

99.9% of all these “problems” can be solved by using an ablocker DNS and a couple of adb commands (on Android).

The happiest of all Easters.
