Jesus just stop using Google. I registered my own domains (in plural yes) and nowadays I’m using them with iCloud, but I could easily change my entire emails from provider with a simple dns change.
For browser I advise using Firefox, but if you don’t like its performance Brave it’s also a good choice. (Though both have some shit going on behind curtains still far better than Google).
For password management just use either Bitwarden, Proton Pass or 1Password. It’s easy not to use Google to store your data, there’s a lot of competitors for what they do.
Don't use Brave, it is a mess and sketchy as hell. They have been selling copyrighted material and even injected their own affiliate link when users browsed to Binance.
I do agree with the other parts! It is not that difficult to move away from Google!
They have been selling copyrighted material
Source? I don't use it just curious.
It came to me in a dream. A cat told me. Your mom.
How do you live your life? https://www.technadu.com/brave-browser-takes-back-controversial-affiliate-code-injection/104177/#:~:text=More specifically%2C Brave was automatically injecting affiliate code,to being an opt-in choice for the user.This is the top Post on DuckDuckgo. You could also have googled it.
I didn't ask YOU for anything, and I'm not opening your shitty link.
You asked for a source, on a forum.
If you ask for a source, you get a source.Why not? It was actually a good read. Here's another: https://www.spacebar.news/p/stop-using-brave-browser
I took a look at that article. You don't use a browser because it:
- Runs ads to support the company
- Disagree with the co-found point of views, worse, that they made a 1000$ donation to something he believed in?
A company like Brave is composed of a lot of people with different views. Being able to live in society and accepting each others views it's what makes democracy ... democracy.
Don't see any valid point to not use Brave in the article provided.
No, it's perfectly good and healthy to utterly and completely deplatform and disenfranchise homophobes.
different views
The opinion that LGBT+ people shouldn't have rights is not a valid opinion, and it's dismissive to simply categorize it as a "different view." Democracy means we have the choice to reject anyone who espouses such an anti-human worldview, and it is categorically and objectively good to do so.
Good to know you don't give a fuck about LGBT+ people enough not to use a shitty chromium browser, though. Blocked.
Being toxic af while I didn't even ask him for any source at all.
Yeah, fair. That was uncalled for. "Just search it yourself" never sits right with me, either.
Tells me to search for myself, then provides a link with some Chromium bullshit to scroll to the targeted text while crying about not using Brave.
Would be better off not commenting anything at all.
True. The article I linked doesn't have any of that, though, and really highlights the reasons I wouldn't come near Brave with a ten-foot pole.
Compared to Google, Brave as a company is a pretty trustable company. For what I've hear about Mozilla in multiple sources, there's really not a "good" browser maker company so I just stay with the non-worst.
Again, the co-founder views doesn't affect my browser decision at all, the company's actions do.
Brave is built on chromium...
Modified with loads of privacy features. Just putting the suggestion out there since some people have trouble with Firefox in some sites.
Still gives google a lot of power to decide how the web will function in the future. That some websites don't work in Firefox is a symptom of exactly that problem
I never understood why these browsers never choose Firefox as a base to their new browsers... Technically you should be able no?
It's something about how the Gecko engine is built IIRC. I don't get all the details but TLDR Chromium is a lot easier to abstract into other programs as a plugin and engine and Gecko is harder.
"Some sites give people trouble with Firefox" is more like it. Spoof the user-agent header, and those sites that "work better with Chrome" suddenly work just fine.
the trouble isn't with Firefox, it's with those sites and the developers of that site that can't be botheted to do it properly and cross-browser - it's still a thing and a sane requirement.
I mean with Safari I can understand since Apple can’t be bothered to make a decent engine with all the web standards. But Firefox has all of that so they’re just plain retarded.
how did you register them genuinely asking.
i would also recommend keepass
I use my own domains for email. So basically I can just use whatever mail service that supports custom domains. iCloud Plus, Proton Mail and Tutanota all support it. If I'm done with iCloud I can just switch away from it by changing DNS settings...
Yeah I also use KeePass.
It's as simple as buying them (mind you that it's a yearly payment) on a domain platform such as Namecheap or Porkbun.
Then using them requires some setup depending on what you use. I use mine with Protonmail + SimpleLogin and they have a good guide on how to set it up.
