Saying that you use Brave seems to result in instant downvotes in lemmy. Kinda makes sense given the fediverse demographic simply don't align with Brave's CEO.

Also, mentioning Kagi often results in replies accusing ads and shilling because Kagi is a paid search engine (with free trial), but it worth checking nonetheless. They reached 20k paying users recently, not bad for a new paid search engine. The fact they're able to convince 20,000 people to pay for search engine means the search result is pretty good.

Sometimes those websites lied that they don't support Firefox. For example, google meet didn't support background blur on Firefox? Change the user agent to chrome and it suddenly worked!

As for simple stuff such as menu or elements not loading, it's usually the dev copy pasted outdated code/css that uses WebKit/Bink-specific prefix even though Firefox already support them if they removed the prefix. Nothing we can do about that except pestering the dev to fix it or overriding it yourself using some css overrides extension.

Because it has all the features I actually want and none of the ones I don't need.

Can you elaborate more on those features? I can't see see how ungoogled chromium is better than Firefox since it removes basic features such as sync.

As for engine-specific features such websql, I don't think it's matter at this point unless you need to use websites that only works on chrome on regular basis. For day-to-day browsing, those chrome-only apis only serves as another data point for analytics providers to do fingerprinting.

My opinion on using chrome-only apis is it's harmful for the web because each website that only works on chromium engine bring the web closer and closer to browser monoculture, just like back then when ie6 dominated the web.

If you worry about Mozilla's stance on privacy, there are also plenty of forks that provide "unmozilla'd" Firefox.

I'm kind of surprised about the downvotes tbh. Hive mind much?

I didn't downvote you btw

People in this thread said their Nvidia shield has ads too now. I guess costing a lot more doesn't guarantee the device won't be updated in the future to include ads.

As for apple tv, is it usable in a household that's primarily use Android? Can you cast stuff from Android apps to it? Or is it only supports airplay from apple devices?

Use those professional softwares on a work PC/laptop, and don't use it for anything personal. Use a separate device for your personal use.

Ungoogled chromium is worse than Firefox in term of features, no? Why use it instead of Firefox?

Reminds me of a blind person that received an experimental eye implant to help them see, and the implant suddenly shut down while they're walking outside because the startup went out of business.

Chance that they use a service to send a PDF as fax, and the recipients also use a service to receive fax as pdf attachments sent to their email address.

but it's far from "anyone can simply download and run"

But it is? You can just right click and run any apps from any source on macos.

This is ridiculous. I would understand if this is subsidized devices where you pay less in exchange for having ads. You already bought the device and suddenly it got shittier. Might as well get a free, big brotherly tv with ads from Telly.

Will this really remove the ads? From your link:

In Apps only mode, you don't get personalized recommendations on your home screen. You’ll find a list of installed apps that you can open to find something to watch. You'll also find sponsored content and teasers for popular movies and shows.
