   In light of the fascinating reveal that Mozilla funds RiseUp.net to the tune of $100k (Antifa's favorite email service,) it may be time to consider getting Brave:

      @jeremiah Brave for Android is quite nice. Can't comment on PC version.

         @SLRock the linux version is working. It's pretty slick, actually. The real test will be web development, but so far, it has not disappointed. That said, installing it under OpenSUSE requires choosing the "install this all broken and stupid" option because someone decided to capitalize GConf2 in a package name at RedHack. Works perfectly, though.

            Okay, but what about the browser. Have you used Brave and is it decent? That's all I care about, really.

               yes and the most important things is that it is Free and OpenSource which I'm not sure about....

               clear is that it is competition from the ex CEO of Mozilla who build Brave and ofcourse fight now Mozilla with all kinds of popaganda

               stay woke

               Yo & ITM @Combaticus I don't trust any of the browsers. I have been running Brave on my phone for awhile and haven't experienced any problems.

               I have it installed on the desktop. I was using it exclusively and didn't like it. It would freeze up and crash on a regular basis.

               Let me know how your test drive goes. I might give it another go on the desktop.

                  Will do. Haven't even fired it up yet and already I'm skeptical.

                  RE: Brave test-drive. It has some things I don't like -- the heavy home/new tab page is reminiscent of Vivaldi. This is a 16 core Xeon system -- _nothing_ should hiccup or lag. Brave (and Vivaldi) both do a bit here and there. As a developer, I find not being able to dock the inspector unacceptable. Finally, the Linux-side UI is not as developed or as clean as the Mac/Windows version.

                  On the plus side: mostly VERY fast. Ad and beacon blocking works VERY well.

                     Thanks, man. As a non-dev, I'll hardly notice half of what you mention. I want an aesthetically clean UI and speed. Well, and privacy.

                        @Combaticus @YoVinnie @yukiame Aesthetics matter to me, too. I had a Mac on my desk (usually as an adjunct machine) from the late 1980s to about 2 years ago when I retired my last iMac. Since that time, my entire development (and arts) toolchains are supported under Linux. To meet my aesthetic requirements, the only option is KDE, but I actually like it better than the Mac. Having control over fonts without hacking helps. :-)

                           Yeah, for a machine billed for creatives it sure sucks on the font front. #MAC

                              @Combaticus @YoVinnie @yukiame Once upon a time, Apple was pretty good at a designing a desktop, and... remember when MySpace let users customize profiles? There's a certain wisdom in locking down the aesthetic controls. However, for those of us who are "aesthetic engineers," that kind of restriction is patronizing.

      @jeremiah what? I'm out of Mozilla if that's the case. Is there another open source email client? I'm using thunderbird

         @Lordimpala RE: Email - depends on your platform. For Gnome/Linux there's Evolution, for KDE there's Kontact, there's CLAWS, Balsa, Sylpheed, Geary... Mail.app was mostly tolerable on the Mac, and I have no idea what Windows people would use other than Outlook... or GMail.
