This is a random screenshot he used in hos video for roughly 2 seconds. This is not his tierlist.
I’ve looked into it and it’s not even his tier list, just one he found online.
Ngl, feel like his tier list is based on usability while avoiding big tech.
Tbh even if this tierlist is not the best or great, it still is “good enough”. Plus the most important thing is to get tons of people interested.
I rather have “good enough” tier list that reaches to millions of people, then have a perfect tierlist that only reaches out to less than a dozen people.
Because amongst the millions of people who are interested, thousands of them will do their own research into privacy and dig deeper into it.
Plus right now, the biggest weakness of privacy is the fact that our community is too small to make an impact.
Having someone give this much outreach and influence to attract attention towards privacy is a good thing. (well, as long as their advice are on the positive end of the spectrum, and pewdiepie’s advise surely is, even if its not perfect)
Sir, this is 2025, we don’t do nuanced opinions here anymore.
No Zen-Browser (though I am not sure when this vid was made), and Pale Moon should be in the “Not ideal for a normal human” at best.
Brave 🤮
Ppl focusing on the negative. It’s just his subjective list. He doesn’t claim to be an expert. Lemmy autism peaking here. More exposure to foss is good guys
I kinda think Floorp is better than waterfox
I’m considering switching to Floorp, I’ll need to check of Pewdiepie has his reasons and what those are.
He barely touches on the topic of browsers, it’s like 40 second segment, i don’t think he even made the tier list.
That’s a good find that famous people are getting into FOSS (should be free as in freedom too). But it’s really not a good thing that they spread a non expert speaking to the crowd.
Tier lists are meant to be mainly subjective and pretty relative to the person that made it. In that way Pewdipie could quote experts but in no case should make a tier list based on what he found the last weeks (I didn’t fully watched the video so maybe I’m wrong and he made a big disclaimer)
If you watch the video, Felix tells you twice in the same sentence that he uses Arch.
Lemmy had taught me that this means Felix IS an expert on FOSS
How sorry didn’t know, so that make him really one of the biggest expert in FOSS 100%
It’s vitally important to know which browser is preferred by the guy who says slurs to an audience of children
B-b-but he has a FAMILY now! Isn’t that so WHOLESOME!
Who hurt you?
What exactly has he done to warrant considering this? He’s a yt star, not a privacy expert.
He’s been getting into FOSS and privacy lately
Where’s ladybird
Edit - I didn’t know about the Transphobia going on there. that is unjustifiable.
Ladybird Trattoria? About 10 minutes away from Linus Media Group.
Not sure why you asked but you now have an answer, hope it helps
Still in development
In the trash with the rest of the transphobes
Wait, something happened with ladybird? Or is just a joke?
This is a fairly unbiased writeup
Thx :D That was a good read. I didn’t know about that
Neither did I. Wow dead before arrival.
gimmie a download link
Just because PewDiePie switched to Linux doesn’t mean we should listen to his browser recommendations
True but he’s sparking more interest in FOSS so that’s still a good thing. I doubt his advice is perfect but if it gets more people started onto their own journey it’s a win.
You’re right about that, I was moreso saying that his crappy browser tier list isn’t worth sharing
Very true, I feel like people miss the point of his own experience and/or opinion
People on Lemmy seem to be Pewdiepie bootlickers. Idk why but it’s really weird. Apparently you can do whatever but as long as you promote Linux, Lemmy will love you. Ridiculous.
Superiority complex in the comments.
Brave is a series scam company.
And yet it uses less RAM in Android phones compared to my goat, Firefox… Man FF needs a lot of improvements, all my complaints come from Android, the browser is perfect even on macOS!
Firefox still doesn’t support tab groups on mobile. That’s a non-starter for me. Hopfully Ladybird has their shit better put together than mozilla when they finally release their browser
I haven’t heard about that browser, it seems that it does its own thing, IDK man, if FF that has years in the market and still hasn’t caught up, I have no big hopes for “new” projects.
Exactly I’d even use Chrome before I’d ever touch Brave.
brave search otoh is pretty gud. I believe they even do their own indexing.
Would you mind giving some context? Ive never used Brave, but my dad does. In which sense is it a “scam”? Would want him to switch if its terrible
People care more about CEO’s opinion on politics and hate Web3 crypto more than they understand technical browser stuff.
Brave is far from perfect and the company had their contreveries but honestly if you disable all the cryptocrap and tweak it a tiny bit so it does not show you ads and feature you don’t use it is the best chromium browser in regards to security and privacy.
Ungoogled chromium by default can’t even compare, it’s not crap but brave does so much more than it’s better for the vast majority of users.
Good summary! Thank you!
Firefox is a monopoly’s pet
all hail lynx

Is there anything emacs cannot do?

sed has left the chat
Y’all are seriously still using the internet?
AFAIK it hasn’t been used as an OS yet (meaning init - the thing you start after bootloader). Or a bootloader
Right?
Richard Stallman style!
My brain read this to the tune of Gangnam Style
Bracing a pedophilia and necrophilia sympathiser as your hero smh
Making a joke about a ridiculous habit is hardly making someone a hero.
I know it’s been said, but Brave is a hard no. Replace it with Ungoogled Chromium. I haven’t seen the video so I don’t understand why it’s in the “not ideal for a normal human” list, and I am biased since I use plenty of “not for normal” tools.
