What browser would you recommend? Brave? Vivaldi?
-
This is about much more than browsers but I use Safari.
-
that's proprietary right?
-
WebKit is open source; Safari is proprietary. Diff is Apple makes money by selling products, not farming people. https://ar.al/notes/apple-vs-google-on-privacy-a-tale-of-absolute-competitive-advantage/ …

If Mozilla/Firefox is Silicon Valley's PR, are you Apple's PR? ;-)http://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/26/business/ieconomy-apples-ipad-and-the-human-costs-for-workers-in-china.html …

Yep, you got me! I get $400M/the from Apple (I would have gotten away with it too if it wasn’t for you pesky kids!) https://ar.al/notes/apple-vs-google-on-privacy-a-tale-of-absolute-competitive-advantage/ …

So is their policy advocacy just for show?
-
If I was to tell you Greenpeace got all their funding from first Exxon Mobil, now Shell, what would you think about their environmentalism?

In short, they’re fronting?
-
I see them as Silicon Valley’s PR department and a convenient honeypot to attract people who truly care about these issues and contain them.
-
In that case, is there anyone (company/ngo/person) doing it right?
-
A number, yes. Look at Mastodon, for one timely example. FSF has been for >30 years. We (
@indie) don’t accept any money from people farmers… -
W/ the lack of capital, what’s the business model that makes these groups work? In Indie’s case, what’s the return on a foundation’s gift?
