So far, Microsof is not forcing the use of Newsguard.

Firefox blows. Can’t speak for Opera.

Try Brave.

I intend to use this service.

I will simply invert the colors.

You should read up on what the Firefox board did to its founder, and how he’s now written the Brave browser.

I did. It also sucked.

You can’t use the back button to navigate and they don’t give a sh*t if you don’t like it. That’s a deal-breaker.

I did; loaded up Brave and ran it for a while. It’s a very good product; I just didn’t want to go through changing.

I’ve no idea what you’re referencing. I use the back button all the time? Maybe you got one of their early releases.

Use several OFFLINE ONLY computers.

Use one computer for browsing.

Computers are now a cheap commodity. You can buy 10 computers for the price two decades ago.

Split your tasks up onto dedicated offline computers. No longer can only one computer run all your programs, especially how unreliable software is now. Big Tech trash software can no longer compete with cheap commodity ever present computers.

You mean to kill the real news like which media outlets and which reporters were being paid large sums of money by the FBI to report what the FBI requested? To be fair, the FBI paid law firms to distribute the payments. Which of course is conspiracy, RICO, and tax felony.

Yep. I’m thinking seriously about getting VPN and masking my browsing.

Have never used Edge. Currently using Firefox 60.4.0esr

Have never used Opera, but have read it is good.

Have used many browsers over the years.

Am not afraid of trying something different.

It was about 2 years ago.

I use the back button to navigate to previous pages. The back button didn’t do anything in Brave and the developers said they would never make it functional. So, I said buh-bye.

I already solved it for me. Never use Windows Explorer. Seldom use a windows machine.

Have run Linux since 1994-1995. Currently have no need for MS. Browser or OS.

No computer software that I currently use requires MS at all.

If it weren’t for work, and Steam, my dual-booting PC would be a completely Linux. I REALLY got to want to play a Win-Only game to switch over...which is rare these days

Getting to the heart of this...

Many of the websites are also given a “green” rating.

These include CNN, the New York Times, and the Washington Post.

Also “green” — Media Matters, the Clintonite Democrat website

Rolling Stone, the magazine infamous for publishing a hoax rape allegation against members of a University of Virginia fraternity in 2015

Salon and the Huffington Post

Tthe team behind the (creation of the) browser extension include top neocons and members of America’s foreign policy establishment, including Trump-hating former CIA director Michael Hayden, and former members of the Clinton, Bush, and Obama administrations.



So the MS Imperial Truth Detector is a load...

Yep. The enemies of all free men and women are trying to seal us in their echo chamber.

Forget that crap.

With Microsoft’s history of Windows being hacked, I wonder what will happen when their cloud gets hacked.
