    Why is this guy popping up so much lately on Lemmy? I remember thinking this guy was a piece of shit about a decade ago…

    I haven’t kept up with the times. Was I right? Or did I become an angry old man 20 years to early?

    Not of his. This is a known widespread tierlist made by other person (I do not remember if this came from Reddit, a YT video or what, but it is well known)

    Just because PewDiePie switched to Linux doesn’t mean we should listen to his browser recommendations

      Very true, I feel like people miss the point of his own experience and/or opinion

      People on Lemmy seem to be Pewdiepie bootlickers. Idk why but it’s really weird. Apparently you can do whatever but as long as you promote Linux, Lemmy will love you. Ridiculous.

    Ngl, feel like his tier list is based on usability while avoiding big tech.

    Tbh even if this tierlist is not the best or great, it still is “good enough”. Plus the most important thing is to get tons of people interested.

    I rather have “good enough” tier list that reaches to millions of people, then have a perfect tierlist that only reaches out to less than a dozen people.

    Because amongst the millions of people who are interested, thousands of them will do their own research into privacy and dig deeper into it.


    Plus right now, the biggest weakness of privacy is the fact that our community is too small to make an impact.

    Having someone give this much outreach and influence to attract attention towards privacy is a good thing. (well, as long as their advice are on the positive end of the spectrum, and pewdiepie’s advise surely is, even if its not perfect)

    I know it’s been said, but Brave is a hard no. Replace it with Ungoogled Chromium. I haven’t seen the video so I don’t understand why it’s in the “not ideal for a normal human” list, and I am biased since I use plenty of “not for normal” tools.

    That’s a good find that famous people are getting into FOSS (should be free as in freedom too). But it’s really not a good thing that they spread a non expert speaking to the crowd.

    Tier lists are meant to be mainly subjective and pretty relative to the person that made it. In that way Pewdipie could quote experts but in no case should make a tier list based on what he found the last weeks (I didn’t fully watched the video so maybe I’m wrong and he made a big disclaimer)

    The only problem with Ungoogled that makes it “not ideal for a normal human” is that fact that it is still cumbersome af to download it. Regular people don’t know github and how to click on “show all assets” and pick the right build.

        Do you not realize that regular users may struggle to install extensions without the extension store? This is because ungoogled Chromium lacks that feature.

          Not a problem in Vivaldi, you can install even pure scripts as extension, without the need of an Userscript Manager, like TamperMonkey or similar. Due to the great amount of features, most extension from the Chrome Store are anyway redundant.

          No I did not and I’m not sure what you imagine “regular users” might be. I feel that if someone goes the extra length to get their browser outside of a store, they can do the same with extensions, is it extravagant?

      Ladybird Trattoria? About 10 minutes away from Linus Media Group.

      Not sure why you asked but you now have an answer, hope it helps

    No Zen-Browser (though I am not sure when this vid was made), and Pale Moon should be in the “Not ideal for a normal human” at best.
