It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this.
Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

MODERATORS
After reading that article if you still use that browser then you kinda are just a homophobe.
There's loads of techy reasons listed it's "sub-optimal" so like your use must be because you ideologically support the brand/creator ๐คทโโ๏ธ
This just feels like one of those times crypto bigots get to smuggly justify their reasoning behind a market choice lens and dogwhistle their satisfaction with the "win" against the *insert slur here" without openly saying it and libs will eat it up.
Could you please share any good alternatives? I've been unaware of these issues until now and to be honest, I doubt that I see myself expending the energy to read this article.
That being said, right now Brave provides a very easy to use ad-free experience that is great for running youtube in the background ad-free. It's pretty good for listening to lectures on youtube and performs much better than podbean which often freezes randomly, a bug that is pretty bad given that I listen to alot of these things while driving and am unable to fidget with it.
Is there a similar browser that has these functionalities that works as well or better? If so I'd gladly switch over and encourage my partner to do the same.
I'm not a techy ๐คทโโ๏ธ
My bf likes opera, other people i know prefer others and they all use VPNs if that matters?
I don't really get how hyper optimised you need a browser since I'm not someone who uses a desktop or laptop a lot so I'm not the person who can appreciate what you are looking for on a technical level.
There are plenty of people here or lemmygrad who could probably though. Make a thread asking for advice and I'm sure someone would suggest something if you don't get any suggestions from this comment.
Then politely you don't seem like you really care about these issues to inform yourself so why would you want to change?
Seems like a weird disconnect that you care enough about the issue listed to want to change if options are available but don't care enough to read an article never mind do some research?
That just comes across as virtue signalling tbh.
