    I meant ublock origin. I use firefox and brave pretty interchangeably. Firefox is better in some ways but utterly infuriating in others. Fun fact: internet speed tests have been re…

    I use Ublock on Brave (chromium). Ublock is supposed to be unnecessary with brave alone, but I use it all the time to delete annoying UI elements mostly permanently. Why anyone sti…

    The 'curated collection in a light bulb' in your strawman fallacy contains books you could find prominently displayed in every mainstream bookstore's entranceway. Hardly banned by …

    Are there black, Asian, jewish supremacist, or zionist books that are banned? If so, which ones? >There is one reason someone would do that. You're a white supremacist and a Nazi. …

    Less than 8% of the English speaking world has heard of the Bolsheviks' genocide. And we know that's not an accident because Mossad's Robert Maxwell owned the dominant textbook pub…
