Always gonna note too that Google Chrome (and chromium + derivatives to a lesser extent) kneecaps adblock plugins so that up to 50% fewer ad domains are blocked, blocklists are out of date, many in-page ads can’t be caught, it’s slower, and invisible trackers can bypass it.

Websites worked fine before ads, and they would work well again without them. Doubly so now that crowdfunding is a common method to support things people actually want.

No? I’ve already said what it’s about, and I’m not eager to repeat myself 'cause I feel vague meanyness.

It’s not about a lack of features.

We essentially have three different browsers, that definitively isn’t “lots and lots”. Every year they get together and agree on what measures can be foisted upon all users with or without their support. The rest are very little more than reskins of each other.

Install Firefox with default settings > Look at your new tab page. They’re all sponsored ads.

Firefox on mobile collects data and sends it off for marketing purposes, this can’t be turned off.

Forces ads in my face via Firefox. Sometimes promotes commercial control of the internet. Is borderline for-profit at this stage with all the moneygrubbing and issues that comes with.

Don’t get me wrong, they’re the best of the lot by a long long way, but they’re still problematic.

To be honest, I think the internet is in desperate need of an alternative to the Chrome/Mozilla/Safari trio. Why can I can no longer get a browser that doesn’t shove ads in my face and/or track my every move?

I know this isn’t being designed as a browser for everyone. But I’m pleased to see making a web browser isn’t an un-enterable area yet.

Heck yeah. I may give this a go.

Thanks to the weirdo redditor for inadvertently advertising this thread via our modlog.

In fairness, I did quite like the suggestion to just remove division and subtraction! One that should be taken to heart :)

A fair criticism. Though I think the hating on PEDMAS (or BODMAS as I was taught) is pretty harsh, as it very much does represent parts of the standard of reading mathematical notation when taught correctly. At least I personally was taught its true form was a vertical format:

B

O

DM

AS

I’d also say it’s problematic to rely on calculators to implement or demonstrate standards, they do have their own issues.

But overall, hey, it’s cool. The world needs more passionate criticisms of ambiguous communication turning into a massive interpration A vs interpretation B argument rather than admitting “maybe it’s just ambiguous”.

Forward three hours, me using thesaurus.com to try fit the whole gist of my change into the first line.

I don’t want that much gout thank you.

Super cool, thanks guys for your work. And the join page is another way for people to find Hexbear, which can only be good <3

And if your children just steadfastly refused to eat rice or beans? For hours. Every day? And you didn’t have the spare time or energy to work out a cheap and healthy food solution because you have a chronic illness and you’re working 12 hours a day to afford a roof?

Not denying your experience at all, but don’t deny others’ experiences either. I’ve lived through periods of it as a kid, and seen it as an uncle; there certainly are struggles that can make that kind of lifestyle effectively impossible for hardworking and loving parents to achieve.

Assuming people are using words in the way they are widely and commonly accepted to mean (I mean, just look at Wikipedia for an easy starting point) is not a bad thing?
