I don't use Brave. I also don't mindlessly try to find strawman arguments not to use it. You don't need to trust the organization to use their open source software, if someone you trust audited it.

Do you need dedicated hardware for pihole?
Yeah, nothing there justifies calling it spyware. By those metrics Firefox is also spyware.
It's also outdated af information.
yeah, I'm well aware of these features. Just didn't get the benefit of running a private instance vs. using a trusted public instance, which would hide my IP from the search engines.
If someone uses LLM and AI interchangable, their opinions on the subject doesn't matter anyway.
it doesn't exist on youtube or on any other streaming platform
Imagine defending forced arbitration just to try to score on Valve...
Do you want good products? That happens through telemetry. Simple as that.
Nothing wrong with Invidious and everyone will need to use it when the ad injections start but claiming your app is better than FreeTube because it's written in Rust makes no sense when it can't ever stream in the same quality consistently.
FreeTube streams from googlevideo. This app is a frontend for Invidious AFAICT. Different stuff. Streaming googlevideo directly is the only method that works properly on 1080p+. Also, this doesn't work.
Hm, Discord didn't have anything registered there. After some digging, I found about:debugging#workers which does list Discord stuff under "Other Workers". It's unsettling to see there's no way to force confirmation and/or disable these stuff. I use Discord when I have to every once in a while. I don't want their code running all the time in my browser..
edit: you can disable service workers with dom.serviceWorkers.enabled = false but this has no effect on Other Workers.
edit2: uBlock can disable Other Workers by setting the filter ||$csp=worker-src 'none' in My Filters and enabling Suspend network activity until all filter lists are loaded in Filter lists. It funny how this "trick" is written for Chromium-based browsers with the note that Firefox allows global disabling of service workers when the sites can just register a different type of worker with no way of disabling them. I am sure the api is less powerful than service workers bla bla bla, let me decide what runs on my browser without needing third party tools, please.
Isn't that the globbing operator?
