This is the biggest anti-endorsement I’ve ever heard. Thank you for telling us all that. I will absolutely never be using this browser.
Sad to think there will be real people who are fine with the privacy invasive spyware
my ex fiance loved personalized ads because that’s how she found out about products she wanted and i was like… but you didn’t want it before you knew it existed. you were just living your life perfectly fine and now you’re $20 poorer

Haha yup the amount of times I’ve tried to educate friends/family only to feel like banging my head against a brick wall would be more effective are far too many
Hell to the absolute fuckin’ no.
Chrome is already pretty close to this. People still using it are a mystery to me as it is.
There’s also Chrome-derivatives and Chromium and whether those could excise the AI spyware and how deep that gets embedded into it.
That’s been a problem all along and one reason why I’ve never advised chrome alternatives unless someone is demanding to use Chrome over anything else. Firefox and probably 50 different forks of it would be superior in every way, and then maybe… Opera? I don’t even know anymore. Firefox is the only one holding things together.
That actually sounds like a good thing. Google has only been going down this exact path anyways with Chrome, at least if this happened it would make headlines and more people would wake up and leave that nightmare browser.
Blip. Just like that, they are dead to me. I know our society has decided super invasive data collection for ads is okay… I’ve decided that is another part of the social contract we need to revisit. With prejudice.
never mind about accepting the things we cannot change, it’s time to start changing the things we cannot accept
I still haven’t come down to terms with ads being accepted

Nah, I won’t give them my clicks, nor my data.
Nor my axe!
capitalism inspiring innovation right before our eyes.
Even by CEO standards, why would you state that out loud?
I presume this browser is going to have an install base of about 1? Depending on how many testers they have.
If you had read the article, it’s going to come pre-installed on Moto and probably Samsung phones.
So user error, should have got Linux.
yeah the famous linux phones
The only phone I have that can run a web browser is running Linux.
I mean, Android is kind of not really Linux. They’re cousins, at least.
Then again, iOS is also built on Unix, if I remember correctly, so I guess they’re all cousins.

Fuck that guy sucking my time with his ads. If I want to buy a ladder I’ll go online, or go to the store and buy one. Once all this world ending shit dies down let’s get rid of “advertising” as an economic concept. We don’t need any more socio/economic engineering, we need humanity and ecology.
i think some form of advertising is useful no matter the structure of your society: if you have a cool idea for a new product, getting the word out is an important way of making it a reality
what we don’t need is the constant, and ever-present repetitive drone of advertising mundane things that you already know about
For the last time I don’t want Jenna Haze shower curtains!!!
That’s not what the restraining order says.
“Does Jenna Haze still have a restraining order on me”
Damnit! More naked pictures!

Firefox forks and uBlock Origin all day.
Well im definitely not gonna use it then. It’s also apparently being built on top of Chromium so its not like its a brand new browser engine or anything. I wonder if they even had human programmers work on it, or just let their own AI churn out some slop for them.
Damn, you’d really think these bozos would have learned to read a room by now, you know?
Nearly half of the country is dumb enough to support Trump. I think he is reading the room.
So it’s not going to be available in the EU and UK? That’s fine.
As I understand it, the GDPR would require explicit consent from the subject before this data could be gathered in the first place, with some significant fines if breached.
