      Both, librewolf as daily driver and Brave when you need chromium (which does still happen these days). Privacyguides.org has good configurations for Brave. They recommend regular Firefox over Librewolf but it’s not a whole lot different

        Why not just use Chromium?

            Ah, okay. I might have to download Brave myself then.

            Just to check, we’re both talking about unChromium?

              The versions you can get at that link, yeah. Not sure what’s meant by "un"chromium—i know there’s ungoogled chromium but that’s not well maintained iirc

                Ah, yeah, Ungoogled Chromium is what I meant!

                Okay, good to know. Thank you!

        What needs chromium? I have never encountered such a site.

          Weird things like the CLEAR verification for LinkedIn, from memory. It won’t explicitly say “this needs chromium!” But it’ll refuse to work properly

    Welcome to libre

    A comm dedicated to the fight for free software with an anti-capitalist perspective.

    The struggle for libre computing cannot be disentangled from other forms of socialist reform. One must be willing to reject proprietary software as fiercely as they would reject capitalism. Luckily, we are not alone.

    Resources

    1. Free Software, Free Society provides an excellent primer in the origins and theory around free software and the GNU Project, the pioneers of the Free Software Movement.
    2. Switch to GNU/Linux! If you’re still using Windows in $CURRENT_YEAR, flock to Linux Mint!; Apple Silicon users will want to check out Asahi Linux.

    Rules

    1. Be on topic: Posts should be about free software and other hacktivst struggles. Topics about general tech news should be in the technology comm or programming comm. That doesn’t mean all posts have to be serious though, memes are welcome!
    2. Avoid using misleading terms/speading misinformation: Here’s a great article about what those words are. In short, try to avoid parroting common Techbro lingo and topics.
    3. Avoid being confrontational: People are in different stages of liberating their computing, focus on informing rather than accusing. Debatebro nonsense is not tolerated.
    4. All site-wide rules still apply
