Nothing quite says “high-performance muscle car” like a popup ad for a Mopar Extended Warranty covering your whole center console. That’s right, Dodge Charger owners are now experiencing an exciting new feature: pop-up ads that appear every time the vehicle stops at a light. This absolute garbage feature was spotted in the wild, take a look here.

I had no idea lol I use brave just to avoid ads which is why I'm confused.

Brave is involved in a crypto scam and is backed by conservative evil fuck Peter thiel

Thanks for the heads up.

I'd suggest you change to Firefox, but they have made some... troubling changes to their privacy policy recently, so it may be a good idea to use a debranded port of it instead.

I already mainly use Firefox, BUT I need a browser that supports client certificates (aka mutual TLS). The desktop version does, but not the mobile one.
Also, once in a while, I need to do something through a shitty website that simply doesn't work in firefox but does in a webkit/blink.
I usually just blacklist those and never come back, but sometimes it's something I can't avoid like taxes or gov related bs.

If y'all got a good suggestion, thanks

Afaik that's mostly FUD and was debunked.

I'm still not happy with Mozilla throwing money down the AI toilet.

[–] ImADifferentBird@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 3 weeks ago

If there was a debunking, I'd love to see that. I know Mozilla spun some damage control talking about how the change in terms didn't really mean anything and was strictly for legal compliance, but, well, I've heard that one before.

I've seen no debunking. Have you got a link for that?

Not saying you're wrong, just that I've not seen it :)

Brave is a series scam company.
