    @olyerickson @brave @firefox

    Brave for the compatibility with websites (because most website designers are testing against Chrome), out of the box it’s hardened for privacy, and we’ll play DRMed content when you need it to.

    Though I have heard nice things about Vivaldi as well. I may look at that in the future.

      It can be a hard road to stubbornly refuse to follow the path of least resistance. But it is vital that as many as possible forge alternative paths or the path of least resistance (Chrome) can become the ONLY path.

            Sadly the only things that make me hard to switch is, well… O365… I relly on it much, and I use must use edge for it, because it’s bit broken in Firefox (by design).

            I do have LibreOffice, just… I can’t move my data out of OneDrive, because it’s cheap… In past, I use nextcloud, but fail miserably… so in the end, I stick with… Office 365 :'(

            I will support Firefox, I will boycott Edge, except for… well… Office and MS 365 Service :'(

              If that’s a solution to you, you could sync your files across your devices like with onedrive, but without onedrive.

              Syncthing is one such program that lets you do this.

              If that’s not what you want, there are also programs for synchronizing onedrive, like RClone.

                I did that. And it fail me last time. Because on my area, there are no router for synthing, in the end I set up on in my area, but got whacked because there are lot of user, but… Only 1-2 server in my area… And I got a lot of failure. So in the end I give up. 😂

                I use rclone with one drive with bisync. Not more than that. I mean price to performance 6TB family, able to check all data in movie, Cloud, desktop, it’s cheap for 100 USD per year for 6 people.

                Well we can’t trade convinient for privacy, but personal vault do help in One Drive so… It’s hard to move on. 😂

                  Sorry, I don’t understand. Routers? Syncthing is peer to peer, so you shouldn’t need anything like that. A similar concept that syncthing has is relays… but normally that neither should be needed.

                    peer 2 peer, but you still need “router”/relays in order to do that. Your data still need to move via public server, called relays, I will call that router, because it’s not 100% p2p, because there are other protocol that can be more lower p2p, using udp punch hole. And don’t need any relays, and will work even behind firewall, as allowed to open connection outside, and going back using that punch hole.

                    I’m a prominent community donator via my company and personal server in 2018-2019 (not bragging, but it’s), for asia pasific https://relays.syncthing.net/ At that time I choose to stop, because too much user, and some quite abusive with the traffic (we can’t choose to drop abusive user, so yeah)

                    I seen nowdays that the server relay grown, it’s good, but still, you need more relays to balance the network. Anyway, syncthing isn’t for me, because I don’t have 24 hours a day in my house running my computer in order to check my data. or I will use Synology/FreeNAS with ZeroTier, to achieve real P2P, well, P2P in term of network, data in NAS.

          It has Google’s DRM blocked by default

          What? They are only just planning it, it does not exist yet. Or did I misunderstand something?

          making it more opt-in

          The thing is, websites that will use this tech will not be making it opt-in. They’ll be blocking users not supporting it
