Well for starters, I don’t support far right candidates which sounds like I have a leg up on you at least.

It’s the same reason you don’t let your kids have candy and ice cream for every meal.

Because the people are idiots.

Poor life choices all around.

I tried the Zen browser for a week. At first, I really loved it, and kept raving about it to my co-workers. And then in the span of a single week, they made two completely bone headed design changes, with seemingly no direction or plan, and I knew I was out. I remember one of them was a floating address bar, but I don’t remember the second, I just remember even the options to revert back to the previous behavior only half worked.

“Wouldn’t it be neat if” is ok for some projects, it’s not for a tool that I rely on so heavily to be consistent. I also liked Brave for a bit until I ran into a render engine/compatibility issue and when I checked the patch notes realized it was just run by Crypto-bros.

For now I’ll stick with Firefox (profiles for Work and Personal) and qutebrowser (because keyboard is ‘the way’).

Looking back, I have zero ideas on where I came up with the idea or why I even tried it!

Easy.

When I was 13, we had an Apple IIc. My mother used to take the cable that connected the computer and the monitor to work with her so I’d focus on homework rather than playing Ultima IV.

But it was a monochrome signal. I straightened out a metal coat hanger and plugged it in… it worked just fine if you didn’t bump it.

(e.g. you use Firefox to make a post, they have to process those keystrokes through Firefox to send it to the server, and thus could require permission to do that in the form of having a license)

A better example would be stored credentials, credit card information, and other PII type data.
