Lol haha oh...

@mcc
Ok... I'm listening...

@mcc I think it's time to move away from web browsers.

@mcc seria uma boa ideia.

@mcc but can it needs to be based on a pre-ai Firefox; because I really really need my tab containers and none of the chromium based one can do it properly.

@mcc Mullvad is a great choice! For both, VPN and browser.

@mcc
At a brief glance that almost seems fine, but the last thing I want is be forced to use one specific program just for the sake of an "exclusive" feature. I don't miss the days before browsers had extensions.

@mcc - or an EFF (Privacy Badger) -branded one.
And base it in the EU, where the security and privacy laws are stronger.
Incidentally, the (EU-created and based) Chromium-based Vivaldi browser now includes Proton VPN with sn on/off switch.

@mcc wait you're cooking

@mcc GorHilla Escape

@mcc

standalone uBlock Origin app/daemon/proxy

get a chance to try out all the offbeat and unknown little browsers

also raises the possibility of turning it into a separate little appliance for “firewalling” retro and vintage computers

@mcc I'm no expert, but I don't see how you can make money this way without good sponsors.

@mcc with sponsorblock, no script etc

@mcc this is what we all hoped Mozilla would do.

@mcc part of me wants this and part of me feels like the finger on a monkeys paw just curled

@mcc I think they’d end up something like https://helium.computer/ - as an effort to fuse a minimally chromed chromium with a maximally blocking native uBlock origin, ive been impressed at how much lighter it makes the web feel

@mcc yt-dlp includes a browser reimplemented in python, just enough to download youtube videos. That usually seems to be the hard part- so we could just glue that onto any other simpler browser

@mcc Perhaps they could collaborate with yt-dlp...

@mcc Everyone else has made a Chromium fork by now, so they truly might as well (I don’t know that the developer would actually choose Chromium for Reasons, but you get the idea)
