Was using DDG browser for awhile after Firefox. Started recently using Safari Privacy mode plus Wipr, an ad blocking extension, one time fee but the developer is privacy focused. Ad block test gets 100 score vs 70 on DDG or Firefox. Other peeps mention already but all browsers are just front ends for Safari on iOS, as far as I understand.

Mmmmm eating chickiknobs in the plebelands.

Yeah, I’m getting ready to stop scrolling “All”. It’s becoming more depressing than Reddit or Facebook ever was. US Presidential Election year rage bait is back in full swing I guess and Lemmy isn’t immune. I might lean more back into my hobbies, personal projects, and games while keeping my news feeds on a weekly review.

I definitely went down the rabbit hole after reading the article posted, which was very well compiled. Their testing and reviews are very high quality and it looks like they can apply their test results to multiple curated use cases. Their tests also seem repeatable, which is important for this niche. To branch out, they would have to build out very specific testing environments, which is not a small investment, depending on what they are testing. If I ever need an air purifier, I know where to look now I guess. Like some say, if your going to do something, focus on doing one thing and do it well.

And while CL also has scammers, I find it a more pleasant experience than FB marketplace.

I don’t know if it was VPN or using uBo but the last time I tried viewing content on my Linux setup all I saw was the whoa there pardner page.

“Is this still available? I’ll pay you on Venmo now and my son will come by and pick it up. What’s your email?”

It’s all so complex. They also produce a major chunk of renewable energy tech as I understand. Which I wouldn’t be surprised was made cheaply without longevity in mind. I’d be surprised if some of that tech lasts more than 5 years, especially for what they sold to Europe and the US. And the kicker, they continue to build coal power plants to run their production of western demanded products. The whole current status quo is a giant mess!

Ahhh! Fucking hilarious! Between these games and 4th gen Pokemon I’ve lost more sleep than stress ever did.

OP, you got me. Well played(-apus).

Funny, the one nearest to me and where I grew up are broken. This is such a neat tool!
