Brave being listed alongside Firefox

Bestie Brave is literally just Chromium again. Not to mention the fact that their CEO is someone who got ousted from Firefox for being a tremendous bigot. It's not a better alternative to Chrome, it's just the same thing again. It you must use a chromium browser, use ungoogled.

You forgot "Only uses 10+ year old librebooted Thinkpad" on tech paranoid

I fall under Tech Conservative mostly, but I would like to edit the last 2 points to this for myself:

"Believe every publicly traded company is inherently evil"
"Doesn't morally support big tech, but uses some anyway"

Grats on Arch Linux install, S-tier distro for what it attempts to accomplish.

It feels like there needs to be a category in between conservative and paranoid. I'm probably 90% of the way over to tech paranoid but using Tor Browser and Tails is a little much.

For fellow paranoids:

Mullvad browser is a fairly new Firefox fork which aims to reduce fingerprinting potential while also having sane (paranoid) defaults. Developed with the Tor project. Basically the Tor browser but without connecting to the Tor network. Passes coveryourtracks.eff.org.

SimpleX Chat is a fairly new privacy oriented IM platform which seems to address many issues current ones have. Development is very active. E2E, video and voice calls, decentralized, doesn’t have user ID of any kind.

What if my favorite OS is Mac, my favorite browser is Firefox, and my favorite app is self hosted?

What does MKBHD have to do with this? He's just a tech reviewer who kinda fits between tech normie and tech conservative

I’m mix of second and last one

I'm a tech conservative?

You'll learn pretty soon that the really cool kids are running zOS

Firmly in camp conservative (yikes) Fav OS: Fedora Fav browser: Firefox Fav apps: Thunder and Element and technically feeder but only because I haven't had the energy to write my own rss feed consumer nervously in dart/flutter

I'm in the process of putting together my own next cloud and moving to proton mail. After that I'll be able to install bridges from a self hosted matrix to discord for people and teams for work. I use edge, outlook, and teams on my work computer but it occasionally connects to my home network so at some point I'll probably put it on an isolated vlan.

I'm a software engineer that uses windows and firefox, has no social media accounts (minus message boards), and owns a google pixel. Be confused. You can't stop me.

Conservative is the wrong word there

With every passing year, little by little I go deeper to the privacy paranoid side.

But my focus is way more anti big corporation than pro privacy, that fact those are almost one and the same is mostly a side effect for me.

"I can't live with modern tech anymore"

uses modern tech

A truly paranoid individual unplugs every piece of technology and uses nothing with screens, buttons or electricity going through it.

Tech paranoid all the way, although not the same type of tech paranoid as Luke Smith. The only good computer is one you have the hardware schematics to (i.e. virtually none of them). Thinkpads are just another brand of overpriced laptop. Besides the occasional steam game, I heavily prefer FOSS only and will flat out refuse almost anything that has drm. My unlocked bootloader android phone is so heavily locked down with privacy stuff that I cause Google to lose money merely by existing.
