@superboom12s Welcome to the instance!

@Saorsa @alex @xaetacore @musha If you want an alternative to Brave that has also that kind of functionality, I recommend Helium, its based on ungoogled chromium (a pretty good alternative too) and has some privacy-focused changes, one of them is the native ublock Origin. For the Firefox, I have Tor browser as it also serve as the Tor client, but I rarely use it.

I would give it a try if its the first time you hear about it! Brave is not a bad option either if you care to configure it, but I don't like it's ideas and his extremely homophobic creator.

I would also take some advice, specially with Android browsers, I don't use it much, so I do use Brave there, but Helium isn't avaliable for Android, so if you have better chromium alternatives, let me know.

@superboom12s @Saorsa @xaetacore @musha I just really hate the stupid lion icon ​​

@alex @Saorsa @xaetacore @musha Kinda ugly ngl, but I think you can remove it

At least icon themes can help change that somewhat.

@alex @superboom12s @xaetacore @musha

@superboom12s @Saorsa @xaetacore @musha I looked into it, and it can only be deleted if you build it from source and change the code ​​

@Saorsa @superboom12s @xaetacore @musha Nah not the icon in the browser url bar.

Thought for a moment you might've been using GNOME.

@Saorsa @superboom12s @xaetacore @musha worse, windows ​​

@Saorsa @superboom12s @xaetacore @musha worse, windows ​​

@alex @Saorsa @xaetacore @musha Ah, hell nah, why would you even use Brave on your spyware OS? ​​

I hope for your sake at the very least that you're using the IoT Enterprise edition with all the group policies tuned to reduce as much of the telemetry as possible.

@alex @superboom12s @xaetacore @musha

@superboom12s @Saorsa @xaetacore @musha I... debloated it ​​

Problem with that, though is on your typical home and professional editions, with every update the bloat will end up getting reinstalled and the registry hacks reverted.

The only way to use Windows at this point is through the IoT Enterprise edition with group policies configured to reduce as much of the telemetry as possible.

@alex @superboom12s @xaetacore @musha

@Saorsa @superboom12s @xaetacore @musha Tbh it was getting worse and worse, the only things keeping me on windows are baking lighting in unity engine, vr, discord streaming, image editing.

@Saorsa @alex @xaetacore @musha Something else that can be done is using Windows server.

Of course you will have to get it illegally since chances are that your computer is worth less than what they ask you to use the OS and I don't know how Win11 ​​ Server is, but the Windows 10 versions were much better (in my experience) than the LTSC versions with some debloating tools.

@superboom12s @Saorsa @xaetacore @musha I like win11 but bloat kinda effs up the whole thing.
