Elinks looks like it hasn't had an update in years. There's a fork of it called Felinks [0] which seems pretty actively maintained. The last release was on December 24, 2021.
Yes, I'm in Vivaldi as well. For now! We need to avoid making software/product choices part of our identity.
A true firefox fan would've raised the alarm years ago, and voted with their feet when it kept moving in the wrong direction and stopped being the best option on the market.
Loving a brand no matter what they do is suboptimal.
I just disabled all of that. No Chromium browser is my main browser but when I need one, Brave seems like the best option.
If you were to pick between Brave, Vivaldi and I dunno, maybe Edge, just for when you need Chrome-compatibility and pretty much no other reason, which one would you pick and why?
They report anonymised data that can be turned off. They also connect to servers for auto updates and safe browsing checks, everything you would expect of a modern secure browser.
The people upset with brave for auto updates also consider tor browser spyware because it checks for updates LOL.
Wasn't there some Wasmer controversy with the CEO or founder or something last year? Not trying to disparage the company or their work, I was just reminded of it by this post.
Wasmer is considered a bad actor by many, and there are many in the WASM space who want nothing to do with them. It's no accident Wasmer isn't a part of the Bytecode Alliance [1].
A particularly damning incident was the time they tried and failed to trademark "WEBASSEMBLY", an open W3C standard [2] [3]. There are many choice words for companies trying these kinds of stunts.
Webassembly is growing despite Wasmer's existence. Not because of them. Be cautious.
Thanks for showcasing your concerns regarding the trademarks.
We created a public response to make sure those concerns are addressed. Hope this sheds some light:
Sounds toxic, which is sort of my experience with WASM as a whole. Browser vendors should already be ashamed for what they've done but now they are ready to try to convert all your apps into spyware garbage.
Before anybody takes this specific prediction too seriously, this guy posted numerous misleading claims about Actix's use of `unsafe` in another thread before deleting them and seems to have a strange vendetta against Rust in general.
