IIRC I2P can't access the clear net and Tor is still absurdly slow. I'm not sure what to do there. ~Strawberry

It's not like there aren't already a lot of people trying to vote better people in, it just never seems to be enough... ~Strawberry

When you put it that way, it does actually sound interesting, though I'm still a bit skeptical of its lack of open sourcing. In addition, unmodified Chromium phones home to Google a lot IIRC. There's a reason Ungoogled Chromium exists. If there's a way to use Ungoogled Chromium with it or even Gecko, it'd be a bit more compelling for me. I'm not quite sure if I see Chromium's extension library as a positive. I get that it's larger than Firefox's library, and I'm sure there are plenty of interesting ones that aren't on Firefox but are on Chromium. However, a lot of those extensions are either pretty low quality or are straight-up malware (I'm more concerned with the latter, the former can just be disregarded). It seems like every couple of months or so, a new article comes out about a bunch of malware being found on the Chrome Web Store. Even accounting for Firefox's smaller userbase, there are very few articles about such incidents happening on Mozilla's extension repository. And I've noticed that Mozilla tends to respond more quickly to reports of malware than Google does. CWS has also had a problem with survey scam extensions that blatantly impersonated various companies in the past, though I'm not sure if that's still a problem. I've recently found that FVD Speed Dial intercepts search queries that are supposed to go to Bing or Yahoo when you use the search bar added by their new tab page before redirecting you to Bing or Yahoo when it's not supposed to do that. Essentially an MITM attack. This behavior has gotten them banned from Mozilla's extension repository in the past, but despite the fact that they're still doing it, Google has featured the extension on CWS. ~Strawberry

If this browser is as slow as their website, I can't say it's looking too good. It also appears to be just another Chromium browser, because I guess we needed more of those. And it appears to be closed source. Hard pass. ~Strawberry

Edit: No plans for a Linux port and they're planning on shoehorning A"I" into it. I hate it already.

This is your brain on Great Man Theory. ~Strawberry

The issue is a social platform is useless without the social aspect. If someone's entire friend group is on one site, they're unlikely to move to another. Trying to get the whole friend group to move is also easier said than done due to inertia and t eother members of the friend group also being in communities and friend groups that aren't on the new platform. Now imagine that on the scale of a site like Discord and combine it with FOSS alternatives often have fewer features, less software support (for bots, clients, etc), and higher barriers to entry and you have a recipe for disaster for many new social media platforms. ~Strawberry
