The reason why I love my #Vivaldi_browser and possibly you too

@robinn2 @Sprinklebump, it is because it is so easy to deceive people with labels, be it socialism, communism or democracy. All of them have been or are dictatorships ruled by an elite. It does not matter a “communism” where an elite of supposed representatives governs or a democracy where these representatives of lobbies govern instead of the people.
A country where there is no sovereignty of the people is still a feudal dictatorship of capital, that sooner or later always fails.
@Andrew15_5, On the Go are also if i’m in a social network and need to explain something quickly with an image without the need to open some heavy editors from the disk, but right in the browser, eg in Vivaldi in splitscreen in few seconds.
@Andrew15_5, for this I already have Krita, Gimp and some others. MiniPaint is to be used on the go, while I’m browsing, being able to open it in a new tab or even in the WebPanel, that is, when I’m obviously online.
@Andrew15_5 @dulce_3t_decorum_3st, same, but I mostly use this on the go for quick touch ups, while I’m browsing.
@starman @Blastasaurus, when i went to school we used paper, ruler and pencil (FOSS)
@glowie, it doesn’t work
@Haui, the biggest risk now is this Google MEI DRM crap, this can be the ring to rule them all, disguised as “security feature” 🥶
@Haui, Google, MS must certainly comply with the legislation and it is seen that in the EU (GDPR) the corresponding PPs do not contain these atrocities like those for a US user. But this is not the central point, apart from the fact that they sometimes prefer to pay the fines because it is more profitable for them, it is the inherent ethics of their policy that lessens trust in their services, because it is also clear that they will always try to circumvent the legislation for their purposes.
@Haui, we agree on this, but just like Google in its Play Store modifies good apps to your liking, you download it later with half of the original functions and full of ads.
Worse with MS, now planning an online OS by monthly subscription, without the possibility of jailbreak controlling the user and the PC completely. These are the people we have to deal with.
Check Microsoft.com with this tool and you will see

@Haui, not a problem in Linux, but I’m not sure about the trust in MS and Google. Which Lawyer will impose this law? The same old people who confuse a remote control with a mobile in the parties paid by these multinationals? Wait for it.
In theory it’s a nice idea, but this remains heavenly music in practice.
M$ has no qualms about offering FOSS in its store by setting a price, like some time ago with LibreOffice for €9.90.
@awwwyissss @Nerorero, I have nothing against Russian people, but a lot against certain Russian people
@Haui, You cannot prevent an OS from modifying a Store according to its own interests, with which we arrive at the same thing that could only accept a list with links that point to the corresponding official pages of the browsers for download, an online activity that requires an engine for defect that is the same as that of the usual browser used, as in the example of the Steam client, in essence a Chromium in Kiosk mode.
@Haui, ok but i still see the advantage there can be
How does a repository keep up to date with the 1000 or so existing browsers? Where is it downloaded from and what advantages does it offer compared to downloading it from its official website?
In Android there is the Play Store with dubious security and with many apps retouched and cutted off by Google, eg the app Blokada isn’t the same as Blokada from F-Store or the original .apk in the Website. In Windows I avoid the Store for same reasons
@notenoughbutter @Resol, and WebKit is a fork from KHtml made by the German KDE.
Blink is the most used engine, because it’s the most compatible with current web standarts, even somewhat more than Gecko. If Apple’s Safari insist in it’s WebKit, the most outdated engine, it’s become the new IE in a near Future.
@Haui, it’s the same, a repo to download a browser IS a browser, at least it’s engine. Because of this it’s irrelevant if there is a preinstalled browser or a repo dedicated. Also eg the Steam client is a Chromium (bad optimized, slow as hell, in Kiosk mode)
Apart what will you do, if you want a browser which isn’t in this repo?
I think it’s easier if the OS include a Browser and everyone is free to use it or use it to download a browser to his like from its official homepage.
@Haui, Windows always had an app to download a browser, now it’s called EDGE I think.
@BakedGoods @RickyRigatoni
A couple in an elegant restaurant in Texas. The waiter appears, dressed in a tailcoat with a bottle wrapped in a napkin: “Chateo de Sauce, 1985” and pours a little into the customer’s glass, the customer tastes it and nods. The Waiter leaves and the other couple says “Wow, you were right, really a high-class restaurant.”
“I already said it, and this was just the ketchup.”
