switched to Firefox after an acid trip

I finally understand what Stallman was talking about. Users of nonfree software are slaves.

• Even Chromium phones home to Google
• Alternative Chromium forks like Brave, Iridium, or ungoogled-chromium all have unique fingerprints as non-mainstream browsers. This defeats the purpose of using them. Also you aren't auditing the binary builds of these, which are done by anonymous randoms in their free time.
• You de facto can't compile your own Chromium or maintain your own fork. Besides the cognitive time investment, it would take days to compile, discouraging you from rebasing and re-compiling to apply the latest security updates.
• Mozilla allows you to run a self-hosted sync server, if you really need bookmark/settings syncing.
• Chromium having a faster JavaScript engine is largely irrelevant since a properly paranoid user would block most JavaScript.
• I'd gladly pay for better hardware to run inefficient Firefox if it means being less vulnerable to surveillance.

Change my mind.

I have all those things, but you know. when nature calls I'm in and out in under a minute. meanwhile you pus eaters are sitting there on your phones watching sussman lectures as you struggle to squeeze one out

small price to pay if ya think about it.
