The only thing stopping me moving to Brave is the awful bookmark sync implementation… when I used it for a small period in the past it was keeping some I’d long deleted on other devices etc

I also would prefer it to implement bookmark separators (like both Vivaldi and FF do) but I can live without those if they sorted out the sync.

It cannot - more and more content is coming from AI so they are just “relearning” what one of the AI platforms has already produced… the endgame of that is convergence on nothing new being produced from AI

I bought my iMac in March 2020… since then it’s been powered down maybe half a dozen times (a couple of those were power cuts) and rebooted (outside of macOS updates) maybe ten times.

It just sits there reliably doing its thing and sucks little juice in power saving so 🤷🏻‍♂️

Another vote for Kagi here as well… except for searching for local businesses near where I live, I revert to Google for that, but I Google through Kagi so privacy is somewhat protected

But then you potentially lose fringe interest videos which the creator makes for fun, only expects a thousand views from people with similar fringe interests and isn’t interested in being paid

Right so what browser should I use now??? 😡

And macOS autocorrect would be nice as well

Any good guides out there please on getting started with these…?

WinRAR Free Edition

UK - for me, Five Guys

I suppose the argument would be, yes that’s fine as long as you only use it in India…? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Again, not saying I agree but it’s hard to make a comparison like that I think.

Not approving of any corporate behaviours here, but extracting the maximum price a market will bear has been the basis of pricing and supply/demand since such concepts existed which is at least 250 years.

I didn’t think Verge was…?

They do both, their own index focuses on the “small web”, more info here:

It is in the UK it’s prescription only other than a very low dose, in which case it’s pharmacy only following consultation with the pharmacist… these are controlled drugs under UK law

I’m surprised they think this is useful… if I’ve paused a video it’s because I’m answering the phone or front door, making a coffee, going for a shit etc… I’m almost never going to see these ads 🤷🏻‍♂️

Thing is how do you differentiate between a bunch of people who genuinely like a product and are happy to say so because it’s solved a problem for them that they see other people having, and “subtle spam”?

For instance, I’m a Kagi subscriber and have been for some months now as it’s doing a good job for me, and I’ve had the odd person leap down my throat accusing me of being a corporate shill etc, and I am absolutely not (but that’s what a shill would say!!!)

How does anyone get a product recommendation from a product that’s genuinely growing in popularity so people are recommending it? I get there needs to be a healthy dose of cynicism but where does the line get drawn to the point where that cynicism is no longer “healthy” and simply means everyone distrusts everything that’s made by a company if somebody on the internet says it’s good?

Where’s the equal cynicism when somebody says something is shit and it could be a corporate shill from a competitor?

Should have waited until after the election later on in the year as, all being well, we’ll have a new government. This shower of shit we have in right now won’t do f’all for the average person that’s against business interests.
