The “siege” against the Capitol – which mostly amounted to a group of dressed up LARPers walking around after being let in by police – prompted the failing web browser brand to claim:
“Changing these dangerous dynamics requires more than just the temporary silencing or permanent removal of bad actors from social media platforms.”
The newly defined goals of the company include exposing who advertisers are; and revealing networks of people who are guilty of wrongthink.
Mitchell Baker also wants to make default across his systems the amplification of corporate news voices over third party or entry-level providers.
Their full list of changes to made includes:
Reveal who is paying for advertisements, how much they are paying and who is being targeted. Commit to meaningful transparency of platform algorithms so we know how and what content is being amplified, to whom, and the associated impact. Turn on by default the tools to amplify factual voices over disinformation. Work with independent researchers to facilitate in-depth studies of the platforms’ impact on people and our societies, and what we can do to improve things.
In the past, critics of Firefox have urged the company to show independence from Google, despite their financial ties. The business model of Mozilla heavily relies on external funding, specifically on search engines.
According to Computer World, 91 percent of Mozilla’s funding in 2018 came from Google (as they secured being Mozilla’s default search engine). This deal was renegotiated in 2020 and extended for three more years, with approximately $400-450 million more landing in Mozilla’s lap.

I get an IPv6 result for FR when I ping it:

And a correction re one sentence:

That is:
My reply 114, I made a mistake under Autofill.
I meant:
For starters, I suggest *NOT* allowing any “Autofill” for “Payment methods”
Wow! This fascist is really scary/beyond creepy!:
Do you have to have VPN in Brave because there are some things I do online that will not work with a VPN enabled.
“Internet utilities (Brave, Gab, maybe Parler), seems like that would make it a lot easier for the left to corral and eliminate them and their sources for Internet access.”
True, but it’s a bit of a catch-22. If we divide up into 10 different platforms none of them will have the traffic to stay alive long or to hire enough people to keep improving the product.

Deplatformed them yesterday after seeing the fascist message on the splash screen at login.

Posting this from Brave. Got the suggestion to use it from this website. FU Mozilla.
👍
I took a couple of minutes to search down their “contact us” link and sent them a message letting them know how disappointed I was with their “hate speech” (lol) and that I was eliminating it from my machines.
I don’t expect a response...
Well because you oppose folks that decided they know what hate speech is. LOL!
(From Brave.)
Brave bump! I have Firefox on my computer only because the IRS doesn’t recognize Brave when making estimated tax payments.
Brave - Downloaded, installed, and - with this first post - posting with it now on FR. Thanks for the link, Lara!
Wuould they make a move against pornography? Or are they affiliates of the pimps? Repentance is still available.
What about OPERA?
You kidding? I don’t even know what iOS is let alone Brave.....I merely pinged myself in case I want to come back to this thread after I figure out whether I should switch to Brave or keep my Firefox....
I’ll use this ping because in another 20 minutes I will have forgotten the name of this browser......LOL!
I’m even worse. So I put Brave logon into a Google Document and then marked this site and put it on Google Keep.
Yes they play well together.... been on Brave for a couple years now...
“More effort to unify the country?”
If this isn’t civil war I don’t know what is.
I grt the feeling that next time the storming of the capitol will be intential and purposeful, synchronized with the storming of the headquarters of these despicable companies.
