    That's because there are only two web browsers now. And Mozilla is propped up by Google to make it look like they actually have competition. The free internet is dead.

      Yeah a lot of people don't realize that the vast majority of Firefox's revenue is just Google paying them to keep controlled opposition to be the default search provider.

      I don't know if he does this anymore, but Stallman used to fetch webpages and mail them to himself rather than going to the website through his personal computer so he either reads the html through the emacs email client, lynx or konqueror

        It's a crypto scheme created by a pedophile. Basically you install a special client with a built in adblocker, which replaces the ads with their own and profits off of them. Yeah, it's as scummy as it sounds. What's worse is that you can pay them in their cryptocurrency to disable all ads, you know, the thing it's actually doing from the very start, which still leaves the original websites/advertisers without any financial compensation.

        The worst part is that they market it as "you can choose to watch ads and we'll pay you!" which isn't even true because the only thing you can do with BAT is that aforementioned adblocking capability which is, again, what the client is already doing, so the benefit is just an illusion.

        In summary: You get nothing, the websites get nothing, Brave guy gets all the money from people using his browser and spends it on CP.

          but that isn't the point, if you have to use chromium for some reason then go with ungoogled chromium or another fork

        proprietary code

        I don't think this is true. It's Chrome minus all the proprietary parts. That's why it comes without codecs and can be downloaded from the base Debian repositories without adding the "non-free" ones. Debian is super strict about proprietary code.

        https://wiki.debian.org/Chromium

        Chromium is an open source web browser

        https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/chromium

        Chromium is an open-source graphical web browser

        The terms proprietary and open-source are completely mutually exclusive afaik. Am I missing something?
