The point is they should be fighting AI, not open the door even an inch to AI on their site. Like so many other endeavors, it only works because the contributors are human. Not corpos, not AI, not marketing. AI kills Wikipedia if they let that slip. Look at StackOverflow, look at Reddit, look at Google search, look at many corporate social media. Dead internet theory is all around us.
Wikipedia is trusted because it’s all human. No other reason
🪦🪦🪦🪦
RIP Wikipedia, we will miss you
They’ll keep trying until encryption is illegal
Context menu bloat was solved in W11 by hiding all those actions you do use behind a “more…” button 🤦♂️ TIHI
That doesn’t make it a bad product. I’ve never interacted with any of the crypto or donation stuff. You go into settings, click “no thanks” and are never bothered by any of that ever again. So no, these stories people repeat ad nauseam don’t take away anything from the product. Why don’t other people demand better from the alternatives? If there is one better than Brave at fighting popups and stuff, I’m all for it
I don’t know what that has to do with my question? I am not defending anything like that
I have more problems with uBlock Origin breaking the website. Also, it doesn’t block other elements such as cookie walls and news letter signup garbage.
Regardless of the CEO, Brave is a great product. The crypto stuff is easy to turn off. Fantastic ad blocking, rarely any problems. What is the best alternative with great ad blocking?
Fuck spez
Fuck /u/kn0thing

YouTube ReVanced all the way
It’s good old “everything is now illegal” law, selective enforcement does the rest. Straight out of the young dictatorship handbook
Yo ho
Does it hold up in 2025?
This is true. No cookie banners, no ads. Hardly ever a problem
I also wouldn’t know what they mean. Fascist takeover sounds like something I would notice?
Let them. Trust me, you’ll feel much better
