Interestingly Brave just landed on the charts. Previously it was unrecorded or difficult to see. In the same time period, it now accounts for 1.37% of all desktop browser usage, 0.91% of all browsers.
That's not far off from Firefox (which enjoys 2.29% overall). That's nearly 40% the reach of Firefox across all browsers, almost 33% as successful on desktops alone.
In my experience, Vivaldi buckles under a heavy load. It feels clunky, like the team tried to develop a browser within a browser*, and all the added features like an email client inside of it probably don't help.
* I'm pretty sure the whole UI is like an Electron app in there, which might explain the bizarre behavior that's usually handled decently by other forks: Tab handling, keyboard shortcuts, etc
I wonder how this relates to the TRUMP AMERICA AI Act (yes that's really its name)
The draft bill also would require third-party audits of AI systems to prevent discrimination. The provision is intended to address concerns over alleged anti-conservative bias by tech companies.
Who needs to control all the media companies if you can just rewrite their titles to "fix" their bias?
Firefox’s desktop marketshare has dropped from 6.3% to 4.2% in the past year.
Ouch.
The bigger catch is that the VPN will be routed through Mozilla servers - a company that has not built a reputation for offering their own VPN service (their previous offer just resold Mullvad, which does have a good reputation)...
Remember when people said "go to Brave if you want a built-in VPN trash browser"?
Just give it a few months
Just like Anthropic and OpenAI's willingness to kill people en masse, then walking it back to a nonexistent standard.
I want an extra day added to the warranty of any device I purchase, as it will be useless during that time
A dog crate but the bars are really really close together
This is true regardless. HTTPS encryption keeps a man in the middle from seeing your URL. They just get the domain name, which is a lot, but it isn't your credentials.
Remove all four of these components: fix the bug, and make the users happier.
