The 400$ one will also contribute to e-waste.

Just saying.

Speak for yourself. I intend to live forever.

It’s not like Firefox doesn’t collect user data at all. Vivaldi is hard to seriously fault in that area.

Unfortunately, Firefox lacks some features that make it a little clumsy at times. But for general use it is great. I keep it installed and use it almost every day because I believe in the browser engine and the need for diversity in that area. It’s just not for every need. At least not for me. That’s where Vivaldi and Edge have to help.

I’d venture out there and say Vivaldi in functionality and customisation.

Privacy probably not, though Vivaldi does quite well.

Sadly it’s a Chromium browser.

Edit: a simple comparison.

Chromium - and thus Google - dominates the Internet way too much. This causes trouble and has the potential to cause a lot more trouble in the future.

This has been discussed many times before, of course.

This was posted earlier.

Breezy Weather also supports OpenMeteo. Can be changed in the settings.

Vespucci

Saved you a search.

Why would I use this “Geometric Weather” on Android instead of a completely free weather app such as omWeather?

Doesn’t show as much information (e.g. dew point, daily forecast details).

Doesn’t support multiple weather providers, AFAIK.

Doesn’t look as nice, if that matters.

Both apps don’t track. I would venture a guess and say that Breezy Weather has the warning, because it includes AccuWeather, which can be turned off and changed to OpenMeteo or others.

SCEE is described as StreetComplete for advanced users. Does anyone have experience with this?

🤦‍♂️ Duh. This took a while. Mistook ALT+F4 for ALT+ENTER.

😂 I’m so slow!

I just launch Firefox with this option:

"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -ProfileManager

Always launches with the profile selector. Then install a profile switcher extension. Done.

Unfortuntaley 1) it doesn’t really come out of the box and 2) the extension must be installed on every single profile. Not the most obvious or user friendly.

Or double click into the picture.

Here is the reference.

Better overwrite with a message than delete. And do it twice to be safe. That seems to make it harder for Reddit to restore what you don’t want there.

The “wanting” seems to be the issue. Both with the consumer and the producer.

Ideas for alternatives

As long as we buy and companies sell, change will be extremely slow. Probably too slow.

Waxed paper, maybe? There has to be something better than this.

Not sure if that’s OT, but what stops such companies from packing with paper? All this plastic is just… 😦

“Improving” is not a word I would use in this case.

Depends on the definition of smart. Even if I know the most, I might still be socially awkward and have to learn to be socially and emotionally apt.

Or vice versa.
