#Fediverse peeps: @brave vs @firefox on countering #DRM…go! Gimme more than “Brave is still based on Chromium…”
Any arguments for Brave are short-sighted given that (at this point) if Firefox goes we lose the whole battle for open web standards.
I do believe that Firefox is the best browser, but even if it wasn’t it would have to be significantly worse than the others for me to justify not using it.
Brave is based on chromium and chromium is controlled by google.
And a Browser that did/planed on implementing a Crypto Miner i dont trust.
Firefox is the ROOT of a browser not a branch of it. Librefox is even more solid.
Brave for the compatibility with websites (because most website designers are testing against Chrome), out of the box it’s hardened for privacy, and we’ll play DRMed content when you need it to.
Though I have heard nice things about Vivaldi as well. I may look at that in the future.
It can be a hard road to stubbornly refuse to follow the path of least resistance. But it is vital that as many as possible forge alternative paths or the path of least resistance (Chrome) can become the ONLY path.
@roninsysadm @brave @firefox The DRM question is actually the opposite: will Brave be able to block the new Chrome-sponsored WEI, DRM-for-ads scheme?
Ah my apologies. I’d say Brave out of the box then. It has Google’s DRM blocked by default and I would see them continuing the trend, making it more opt-in. Time will tell.
@roninsysadm @firefox @olyerickson @brave whether #Brave rip out #Google’s #DRM patches or not, the fact is that using Brave only empowers Google to do things like add DRM to web pages. Google can only get away with things like this based on the strength of #Blink. The web will get progressively worse until people start boycotting all #Chromium based browsers. I can’t believe we’re back here, but use #Firefox, save the open web. Don’t let #capitalism steal the web from us all.
Sadly the only things that make me hard to switch is, well… O365… I relly on it much, and I use must use edge for it, because it’s bit broken in Firefox (by design).
I do have LibreOffice, just… I can’t move my data out of OneDrive, because it’s cheap… In past, I use nextcloud, but fail miserably… so in the end, I stick with… Office 365 :'(
I will support Firefox, I will boycott Edge, except for… well… Office and MS 365 Service :'(
If that’s a solution to you, you could sync your files across your devices like with onedrive, but without onedrive.
Syncthing is one such program that lets you do this.
If that’s not what you want, there are also programs for synchronizing onedrive, like RClone.
I did that. And it fail me last time. Because on my area, there are no router for synthing, in the end I set up on in my area, but got whacked because there are lot of user, but… Only 1-2 server in my area… And I got a lot of failure. So in the end I give up. 😂
I use rclone with one drive with bisync. Not more than that. I mean price to performance 6TB family, able to check all data in movie, Cloud, desktop, it’s cheap for 100 USD per year for 6 people.
Well we can’t trade convinient for privacy, but personal vault do help in One Drive so… It’s hard to move on. 😂
Sorry, I don’t understand. Routers? Syncthing is peer to peer, so you shouldn’t need anything like that. A similar concept that syncthing has is relays… but normally that neither should be needed.
It has Google’s DRM blocked by default
What? They are only just planning it, it does not exist yet. Or did I misunderstand something?
making it more opt-in
The thing is, websites that will use this tech will not be making it opt-in. They’ll be blocking users not supporting it
