Looking forward to this. Dumped Firefox after Eich’s ouster.

Cool. Perhaps this time he can keep the company from going full-retard. Mozilla has been irritating me for years, and Chrome just sucks (IMO).

Interesting.... right now I am using Ice Dragon (which uses an older version of Firefox source code) because it is the best I can find for privacy (it accepts most FF add-ons like uBlock). I would like to know more about this browser if it can accept add-ons etc...

Some members of the board are not adequate to the task.

Firefox was my prime until gays boinked him.

No Mozilla anything now.

Looking forward to the new browser.

Faster, please.

And die, Mozilla, die. FU and your new bent forward position.

I dumped Firefox when they fired him.

I’ll try the Brave browser, instead.

Here’s a link from Slate, around the time that Mozilla dumped Eich, encouraging an industry-wide purge of anyone who contributed to the traditional marriage side of the issue:

http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/frame_game/2014/04/brendan_eich_quits_mozilla_let_s_purge_all_the_antigay_donors_to_prop_8.html

Over time, such efforts will (are) systematically increasing the wealth and power of the hard left through out society. Just as they gradually dominated academia and the media with political screening for hiring and promotion, they are now targeting the cash cows of high tech.

They’d still at very least track the ads that were drawn to specific IP addresses.

Ghostery and Ad Block Plus does pretty much the same thing.

Still running Firefox with No-Script, ADBlock+, and Ghostery.

Will swap when this new browser becomes available/viable ...

just downloaded it:

went to washingtonexaminer.com on chrome vs. brave.

Brave kept a big irritating H&R Block commercial from popping up.

I love it.

Thank you for this link. I am so frustrated with my old PC I have found a reconditioned laptop source that loads them with Windows 7. I’m looking forward to going back to a good working program and I’ll do it with this browser.

I decided to download and give it a shot. I’m running it now, in facy. Very minimalist in appearance. Seems to be pretty fast. I’ll try it on a few differenty sites I use to see how it reacts.

News sites, search engines, social networks, and a plethora of other free web services have to make money on advertising or they can't stay free. The alternative is to move to a subscription-based model where users pay to use those sites. For most users, that is not preferable.

Wrong. Produce a QUALITY product that people WANT to consume that is free of them being "the product" and they'll pay a nominal, reasonable fee to access it.

Proof?

Netflix. Amazon Prime (for Music, books and video.) Spotify (commercial free version.) Hulu (commercial free version.)

All of the above are THRIVING as paid for subscription models. Granted, Netflix doesn't have a lower cost "commercial supported" version like Hulu and Spotify do at a lower cost, however Hulu and Spotify enjoy a substantial "commercial free" subscriber base and both are experiencing growth.

That's all the proof anyone should need that "subscription models" at nominal cost where quality content is delivered are successful.

(I subscribe to all four of the above, btw. Far cheaper than Cable TV and high quality content from all four.)
