I like the browser mods It can be a lot but it's good for customization or limiting CPU/RAM usage

7/5/2023, 7:47:10 PM

yup :D

It has a lot of features, but it's sketchy and I don't think it's open source.

I like edge’s homepage so I use that. Maybe I should switch though.

you LIKE edge’s homepage??? Bing is horrible and MSN is laggy/annoying/full of ads.

7/5/2023, 8:49:11 PM
dertermenter:

yes! All my favourite tabs spread across, a nice background, football scores on the right, interesting news articles on the left, and I can also switch the football scores tab with the weather. What more could you want?

a non-slow homepage, actually good search engine, and microsoft not pushing BingAI to you at every turn 😜

7/5/2023, 8:57:34 PM

it’s not slow, I set the default search engine to google, and yeah fair point kept getting that popup

oh youre so real for that

i havent touched anything on it for recommended stuff so the trending just gives me conspiracy theories and purposely inflammatory or exaggerated articles

7/5/2023, 9:20:15 PM
allyz:

and most of the articles on the top have more dislikes than likes 💀

engagement at any cost, no matter how negative (even from the most flat-earth-theory-birds-aren’t-real conspiracy sites that you can barely even remotely call news)

so true bestie :,D

disagree, the sport articles are relevant and the other stories are to do with juicy gossip that I like

It has free adblocker, free tracker blocker, free vpn, force dark mode, twitch/discord/twitter integration, ram/cpu limiting, ytmusic/spotify integration sidebar, and better bookmark managerment

7/5/2023, 7:06:11 PM
mybearworld:

  1. Free adblocker: Just install uBlock Origin.

  2. Free tracker blocker: That’s integrated in every other browser.

  3. Free VPN: Using a free VPN is the one of the stupidest things you could do for web security, and companies that offer one aren’t particularly trustworthy.

  4. Force dark mode: This is available in Chromium browsers via a flag.

  5. Twitch/Discord/Twitter integration: How is this different from just having Twich/Discord/Twitter pinned?

  6. RAM/CPU limiting: Fair enough. Using it just because of that is probably not a good idea though.

  7. YouTube Music/Spotify integration: See 5.

  8. Better bookmark management: Can you elaborate?

people are sleeping on the dark reader extension 😔

7/6/2023, 6:12:00 AM
mybearworld:

It can break sites you already have in dark mode

7/6/2023, 10:49:03 AM
silly:

yeah it does

but i just turn it off

  1. i don’t usually use vpn, and i only use it to get around rate limits/article limits on websites (not for apis or anything just to read more than the 3 articles or something a month.

  1. Cause you don’t have to have the tab open…

  1. My computer has very low RAM and when I’m gaming and using Chrome/Firefox/etc., it’s terrible 🤷‍♂️

  2. But i like the sidebar 😢

Also, I just like the Opera GX Ambiance :)

mybearworld:

  1. I still wouldn’t necessarily trust a company offering this

  2. what exactly do you mean?

  3. Aren’t there programs for that?

  4. Edge has something similar to that? But it’s useless anyways.
