“Mozilla now makes most of its almost $600 million in annual revenue from promoting Chrome as the default search engine on its home page.”

Proofreading FTW.

Expect a wave of fingers cut off and eyes picked together with a stolen phone? Or kidnappings more likely?

I’ve been happily dualbooting Win10/Mint for years on the very machine I’m writing from. Zero issues with boots, GRUB, no need for flatpaks, both systems work fine, both configs heavily customized.

What was your starting point? Having Windows on the machine already and installing Ubuntu on top of it? (that would be commonly regarded as the ‘correct’ order) If not, and you can afford to scrap everything, that’s what I’d go for. If yes, and it’s Ubuntu that’s messing up your dual boot, I’d see if Windows can be restored after removing Ubuntu, and then try a different distro (I’d go with Mint Cinnamon, it normally provides smooth install experience).

What’s your long-term experience?

Excellent. After uninstalling it never comes back.

For starters you might want to check privatezilla and bloatbox by Bel: https://www.builtbybel.com/apps https://github.com/builtbybel

Reminds me to donate, been a while since I last did that. Thanks.

They haven’t been trying to sell me anything and setting up their own ad system independent from Google is a good thing, esp. when it’s transparent and optional. Brave has its problems but force-feeding users with ads or crypto isn’t one of them.

Mozilla deals with Google

With how much revenue comes from those deals, we might say it’s practically financed by Google. FF is more Google than Chromium-based Brave if you follow the money.

Yes, you can.

There’s no push. You can completely ignore that part of Brave, which I do.

Haters gonna hate. Make FF great again and people will start coming back. Seethe more, and more people will switch to Brave if they haven’t yet.

I don’t want to use Brave Search for a number of reasons.

Mind sharing? I’m curious because I switched to DDG several days ago, after a good while of using Brave. My reasons were:

• defaulting to Moderate safe search every couple of days
• inability to provide me with good results for simple ‘[word] wiktionary’ queries
• having to block some elements of their result templates manually, using their own browser’s filtering feature (featured snippets, definitions etc)
• poorer search results compared to what they were a year, two ago

Some people here mentioned Kagi and I liked it a lot when I was beta-testing it, but I will only start paying for using it when they introduce full support for Boolean operators, which most likely means never.
