What you read is true, and also total nonsense.

There is not too much point in discussing privacy and security without a threat model.

So once you put your threat model into focus, you can discuss how to mitigate those threats and pick the right browser for you.

Yeah, I work in a making very high end scientific equipment. Almost almost the whole operation runs on Linux. All laptops are refurbished Thinkpads, and most desktops are pretty old and slow from a maimstream POV, but they are just fine for the task, and then some. My “new” laptop I got last summer is a 2018 laptop which cost 300€ refurbished.

If I can do decent science on that, I’m not sure what everyone else needs a 2000€ machine for.

I’m sure someone does, but I expect really they’re few and far between.

I understand that Brave is a very good browser, from a technical standpoint, but it just feels annoying. For one, the constant crypto advertisement is a real turn off.

Firefox is also the only real mobile browser that lets me have extensions, so I can use stuff like uBlock or BypassPaywall.

It really isn’t.

It’s the Antwerp Port Authority in Antwerp, Belgium. Designed by Zaha Hadid. Pretty cool.>!!<

I saw several such hybrid old/new building combinations in Flemish cities. And they usually manage to pull it off.

Another example I liked is the STAM, the Ghent city museum. They also host a nice yearly jazz festival in the courtyard of that one.
