P.T. Barnum in his grave getting a full on chubby for all the suckers that go for this shit
What a stupid name for a company.
Do all these dickheads go to a school to learn the same specific hand gestures?
Girfters emulating each other
Wow! I’ve always wanted a browser that would track everything about me! /s
Gotta get me some of that.
In other news, Perplexity has signed a deal with Motorola to have the browser preinstalled on their phones.
Thx, for the heads up. The only reason I’m not typing this on a motorola g85 is because I got distracted when I was ordering it. Now I’ve got to search for a different brand.
I appreciate him saying it upfront. Makes it easy to stay away from all of their products.

Because there is legal precedent that says shareholders come first.
You can blame Dodge for this. Yes, that Dodge.
Oh, look, the reason Dodge reliability is garbage.
Real shocker, right? 😂
So to ensure that a company is more likely to be customer focused, rather than shareholder focused, it’s likely a good idea to only go for companies not listed on the american stock exchanges?
Yup. Same goes for being employed - if they’re publicly traded they’ll almost certainly treat their staff like absolute garbage.
I mean, that’s my take. Also why you hear a lot of moaning and groaning from enthusiasts when a company who makes well-loved products decides to go public. Enshittification always occurs.
Too bad, that long-term users still kind of decide the fate of the company (as shareholders at some point realize that their share probably is not worth it).
I’m really keen to see when this happens to Tesla, I’m thinking about shorting the stock, it’s so vastly overvalued, and there’s strong competition and sales are crashing everywhere (because of too much Nazi)
Too bad, that long-term users still kind of decide the fate of the company (as shareholders at some point realize that their share probably is not worth it).
Yeah, that’s really the kicker, isn’t it? Legally beholden to the shareholders who demand short term profits forever and ever, risking the loss of long-term customers.
It’s a guaranteed death.
But then users use it anyway for some reason. Many people care so little.
Most people are unintelligent sacks of meat, not much critical thought about what they do runs through their minds.
It is legislation’s work.
Jesus, that escalated quickly…
Is Chrome not doing exactly this?
Chrome doesn’t really collect much data directly. It just has no protection against all the trackers on nearly every website that do.

Ok how long after this browser goes live till we hear it being used by the FBI to track criminals.
That’s like a cigarette brand marketing themselves as the most cancer-causing.
Before even reading the article, I’m thinking they’re maybe selling it as a good thing along the lines of “do you hate to see those ads you don’t care about? Taking space on your apps and pages? What if there was a way to make them actually useful! Make them feel like content, just for you!”
I feel like I have to point out that this is horrific either way
Edit: I actually talked about this quickly with a few almost tech-illiterate friends and they were honestly excited about that at first, when I didn’t preface it with my reasoned disdain for it or the privacy implications… so despite the way we here react to it, I’m almost sure this will sell amazingly.
Oh yeah I’m definitely going to use that. He’s a marketing genius.
some people will see this as a feature to be desired, not a bug
Dumb and dumber will love it, ts,ts,ts. Some nerds…
Nothing wrong with typescript

Beep boop, this is your browser speaking. You have stated that you need a browser that spies on you more one (1) times.
6?
