CEO of Brave rants about "lefties," "glowies," George Soros (lemm.ee)

The IRS rules governing nonprofits still required the Mozilla Foundation to beg big to go big: the parent had to go find big grants from Soros, Ford, Knight, MacArthur, and give smaller grants to many. This put it in the lefties-only-no-righty-Irish-need-apply revolving-door personnel sector of NGOs and nonprofits (too many glowies there for me, too). Which meant I had a hostile MoFo over my head the minute I got CEO appointment from the MoCo board...

Of course I can't comment on anything about my exit, for reasons that only the most loopy HN h8ers still can't figure out.

Vivaldi to replace brave if Firefox is not enough

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Vivaldi is a very good browser, but if you want to support open web standards it would be better to use a non-Chromium-based browser like one of the Firefox derivatives. Also Vivaldi is closed source. Still, I do like Vivaldi.

Of course ff over everything. Zen browser is nice too. I say Vivaldi because of the chromium/blink rendering engines, Vivaldi has a consistent track record. They haven't tried to push any crypto down your throat and uBo still functions. They offer a different experience and welcome their community feedback

Vivaldi's UI is so irritatingly laggy. Their feature set is great, but my 5800x3d can't make it change tabs smoothly and quickly.

The fact that he invented Javascript alone makes him a villain. Everything he did after that is just complementary.

What a clown, nothing new sadly

That's a damn shame. Any other browsers look good on a tablet?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

Zen's been pretty nice so far.

At this point you are allowed to put "George Soros" in scare quotes too. It is a good time to be alive. /S
