this works in 95% of cases, try this before you go all the way into settings! most annoying part of mac is this stuff

I don’t daily drive macOS anymore

there’s no way a roblox kid is claiming to “daily drive” anything lol

hide the native tabs

YES! i currently have to use custom css to achieve this, would be so much more convenient if it was an extension

kinda excited to see what their native vertical tabs will look like. i’ve been using sidebery for the past ~3 years and i’m extremely satisfied with it, i somehow doubt their native version will look as good

yep, this is what i meant

moving large files

this is not a solution to the issue of mac for no reason not wanting to mount your drive, but are you familiar with SyncThing? i’ve been using it since like 2015 and have never had an issue, it’s super fast and local. requires both devices to be powered while transferring, though

yes, absolutely, as long as we don’t become ignorant to the huge ethical issues with steam like their decade of running an underage gambling surrogate. sorry, i just take issue with the article pointing out flaws of xbox and playstation without counter-balancing those criticisms with something about valve. valve is certainly better than both sony and microsoft in every regard, but they are not innocent at all

what are you making misleading claims about Qwant for??? if you click your own damn link you’ll see that the only case where they need to collect your name is if you make an account (completely unnecessary), make a de-listing request (to verify that you are who you say you are before removing something, otherwise i could just go and have jeff bezos removed), or if you report something.

also, 80% of your bullet points after “user agent” are redundant because they are literally just what makes up a user agent. newsflash: every single website you ever visit in your life collects your user agent because it needs to know whether to give you the mobile or the desktop version of the site. this has nothing to do with privacy in this case, you’re just slandering to slander

this is sick, love qwant and hope this gives them more resources

i fucking loved windows 7 so much dude. no telemetry hoops to jump through, no always-online, no “this won’t take a minute ;)” snarky ass tongue-in-cheek loading screens. give us back functional progress bars and the Aero theme

have not yet tried pop os, but +1 for mint!

anonymity is not the only usage for incognito, and frankly it doesn’t even make you very anonymous on its own

oh right, of course! for some reason i was only thinking of which chromium-based alternatives we could recommend.

i like vivaldi a lot :) mostly because of its UI and extremely easy in-depth customization. in my opinion it is the greatest-looking web browser (if you don’t factor in all the css fiddling you can do in a text editor with firefox, of course. but even then i don’t recall seeing any custom firefox user style that looked better than vivaldi to me).

the reason why i switched away from vivaldi and back to firefox after ~2 years of straight usage was that vivaldi had a weird performance bug for me where if i had too many tabs open for too many days in a row (laptop, no shutdown), it would randomly start freezing and i’d have to restart it. but when it was running on a fresh start, it was amazing. also the more ethical choice of using a non-chromium browser was part of the reason

reasonable!

why not vivaldi? i know it’s not open-source, but is there any other reason?

did not know about the founder’s past, cheers for this. whenever i’m forced to open a chromium browser for something from now on, i’ll be using vivaldi.
