Why are you avoiding my point? > What was Mozilla’s justification? What’s your justification for claiming they lied about it and it wasn’t for security reasons?
I mean Apple, not Mozilla.

I recently discovered that my jetkvm won't work on chrome, firefox or safari in macos, even after trying various workarounds to enable webrtc. The fix was to boot up Fedora in parallels and use Firefox there. In fact I'm thinking about shifting all my browsing to that combination just for further isolation.
I am pretty sure jetkvm works on macos browsers. We have two in office where most people have macs.

KDE invented Electron, when they built KHTML as independently embeddable HTML + CSS + JS engine. Mozilla did it with Gecko even earlier, really — but they gave up on it to focus on browser itself. (There were a number of Gecko-based browsers like GNOME default browser Epiphany using it) Apple built WebKit on top of KHTML just as Gecko stopped being updated: I guess they invented it too. Tools like Windmill (web rende…
I don't think KDE ever used KHTML as an app development platform rather than as a plugin for rich text.
There were previous attempts at making cross platform apps for the web and for the desktop.

Never realized anything was happening as I was on Firefox, until I saw ads as my wife was browsing youtube despite installing ublock for her years ago.
My wife was pissed when I installed an adblocker for her - turns out she likes the ads.

"You can turn off the evil feature that evil people added" isn't really an argument that's gonna convince me that evil people are trustworthy. Tell me I can turn off the evil intent, and not just one of its manifestations, and we're in business. But you can't tell me that.
By that logic you'd have to extend the same argument to Firefox, Chrome and Edge. All have a bunch of "evil" (which by your own definition evil = thing that makes a business money) things that can be disabled. Once you've done that you're back to the same old question - why is any better/safe/trustworth than Brave, which is arguably the only one that's gone out of their way to make sure its sustainable and not relian…
I'm sure no user data is shared with Brave's search partners (and don't pretend they don't get paid by Google and others for all the users who abandon the not-great Brave Search for a more capable service.) Google just pays them whatever they pinky swear to Google was their traffic, no reporting at all, no search telemetry, none of that. Right?
And I'm sure zero user data makes it to big advertisers who pay for full new tab takeovers. I mean, why wouldn't big advertisers throw tens of thousands of dollars a day on ads with no proof of reach or return.
Oh, it's anonymized, you say? So, just like all the other browsers?
Also, a quarter of a billion VC dollars have to be paid back at some point. You can't claim anything is truly sustainable when VCs still own a quarter of its value and it's taken VC money 7 of the last 10 years.
Even if bigs exists to work around what Google is doing, that isn’t the right way forward. If people don’t agree with Google move, the only correct course of action is to ditch Chrome (and all Chromium browsers). Hit them where it hurts and take away their monopoly over the future direction of the web.

> I mostly game in a Windows 10 VM running on my Linux desktop computer. Single keypress to switch to Linux workspace. Apologies for hopping on this thread with off topic question, but would you mind describing your setup? I haven’t tried this in years, but last time I did I had trouble getting pass-through to some of my hardware, in particular my nvidia card. Agree with your approach 100%!

I'm not the person you replied to, but I'm in a situation where I want GPU passthrough to Linux guests. The problem is that the Looking Glass guest application for linux is unmaintained. This makes it impossible to have the same setup but with a linux guest instead of Windows. If you want to have GPU accelerated video output from a guest vm to a linux host, the only way is with a Windows guest (to the best of my know…
Assuming your graphic card is supported by linux, it will work just fine.

Of course it depends on what you're playing, but VM gaming is not 100% compatible, lots of anti cheats will ban VM users and it's a cat and mouse game to not get detected.
I don't pay for anti consumer tech like kernel mode anti cheat harmware.

Can you comment more on your VM setup? Can it utilize the GPU properly? Any performance or compatibility issues with running windows in a VM? Etc.
I have a dedicated M2 disk that I pass thru fully to the Windows VM in order to have snappy disk, and I reserved 64 GB ram to that VM alone using hugepages (because I multibox a old game that requires lots of RAM for my use case).
I also pass thru the bluetooth hardware into the VM as I don't use bluetooth on my host, so that I can use my dualsense controller while gaming in the VM.
