Issue's with chrome

An LG executive dumped Google's Chrome for a surprising reason | ZDNet

Why do people change browsers? Not too many, I suspect, for this reason. And wait, isn't Chrome the default browser on most LG gadgets?

Yes I did, I misread the suggestion for a thread and made it about archival tool's.
This is for the current fuckery with brave and archive.md

 

[Kosher Dill]

This is for the current fuckery with brave and archive.md

How about giving the thread a more descriptive title like "archive.md vs. The World"

Really there are only a few topics that are relevant:
- archive.md's ongoing slapfight with Brave
- archive.md's ongoing slapfight with Cloudflare and possibly some other DNS providers
- Tips/workarounds for people having problems using archive.md
- Discussion of alternatives to archive.md and the future of how we do archiving here on KF

You are a good man for revealing newer sites to save URLs on.

Does archive.md block Brave solely based off of the useragent?
If so, its not that hard to simply spoof the agent, making this exceptional fit that much more exceptional.

 

[Bad Take Crucifier]

Came here from happenings. @anameisaname I saw you suggested https://iridiumbrowser.de/ and I also saw someone post this https://spyware.neocities.org/articles/index.html


I'm so confused now. Is Brave good or bad? I just want the CIA niggers to stop raping my data.

 

[GHTD]

Watch the Brave evangelists try to defend how obvious of adware Brave is, by either saying it's not true or brings up "muh tracker blockers".

Be suspicious of fucking everything, even if it seems like it has your best interests at heart.

From what I've seen other people here mention, no, just changing the useragent won't work. I don't use Brave myself so I can't verify though.

Fake new’s.

 

[Leonard Helplessness]

That github thread about Brave and archive.md was a hoot. Dude put a redirect on his site to send all Brave users to his github issue page as a half-assed attempt to muster a personal army, then started shrieking about “THEY’RE BANNING HALF THE WORLD AND STEALING MONEY” and doubling down again and again.

 

[Diabeetus]

We have a subforum for these types of discussions.

 

[Superman93]

Can OP give us a better synopsis of what the fuck is going on?

 

[Ghostse]

From what I'm gathering the Archive guy is from Russia and complaining because Brave team is doing additional checks to make sure his abnormal behavior is not someone trying to steal a BAT balance. I'm not sure where the "racist crypto" is coming from.

The US gets handled differently because there are electronic fraud laws on the books and law enforcement organizations that will investigate and attempt to prosecute.


I dumped Chrome about two years ago, less because it was feeding my info to google and more because Google makes arbitrary decisions about what features and plugins you should and shouldn't use and provides no mechanism to alter the behavior.
(I don't give a fuck my internal Self-signed certs are self-signed and its an IP address, all I want is encryption not authentication. I also don't care about their expiration.)

 

[Μusk]

All web browsers are shit.
This archive.md shit should be eye-opening. If this random website can identify the browser you're using, then your privacy is shit. No website should ever be able to know this, and even better is if you spoof the relevant information to make them think its Chrome or regular FF.

 

[Pee Cola]

I don't care how pozzed it is, you'll have to pry Firefox from my cold dead hands.

BTW I've never trusted Brave. When something/someone has to go out of their way to bash a "we're the good guys!" narrative over the public's head, chances are they're anything but.
