Testing it now, it is pretty speedy and seems to work fine. Hi folks! I have made a Brave ebuild for gentoo. "In a time of universal deceit - telling the truth is a revolutionary act." - George Orwell
I run that on my laptop, Linux Mint, but have not been able to install Linux Mint offers still another called Tor Browser.
I've also heard another browser called Tracefree. Opera Touch will link with Opera (also now based on Blink with privacy features) on a desk or laptop machine.
I have Brave and Opera Touch installed on an Android cel. Posted: Fri 3:21 pm Post subject: Opera Touch but I was asked about it from an executive, so I thought I would check into it. I don't really have high expectations of it. It isn't that important to me I'll look at it on another system, or just wait.
Every time I do that, I wind up in dependency hell at update time and I simply don't have the time to dwell there. but I don't think I will be doing an overly. When I wrote the ebuild for brave-overlay I did study possibility to make it source-buildable but gave up on it quite fast. So I don't see much benefit in compiling it, I don't think you can change so much from the base chromium that runs those blobs. This is just a feeling, but I believe Brave isn't 100 % open source and they have some binary/DRM parts that are installed after compiling the base chromium. Read: Only few extensions have been ported to work with Brave. Yes, you can 'tip' the original site, but so few sites are affiliated it's basically stealing. And their ad policy? They take from content creators and replace it with their own ads, getting money in their own pockets while ignoring content creators. I don't trust any more than I trust Google. I find it a bit confusing but one can opt-out of it. Privacy by default is nice but I am on the fence about the Advertising model. I like it much better + you can install ublock origin on it. I've been using it for some time now on my mobile devices and I like it so far. AntP also seems to have some concerns about Brave but I didn't ask him to expand on it. I was satisfied with the replies I received and would give Hu's reply particular consideration. I actually also had some concerns about Overlay QA and integrity that I asked about in another thread. I really don't like running applications on my box that I can't build from source but at the moment this is the only option for we Gentoo users. I have been testing out the overlay binary.
For those that don't want to tinker too much with their browser of choice, I think Brave is a reasonable alternative. It also doesn't do anything, privacy/security-wise, that I wasn't getting done in Chrome and Firefox but with carefully selected extensions. Questions are guaranteed in life Answers aren't. There is an ebuild in brave-overlay but look it To look without without looking within is like looking without without looking at all. and of course, if it ever will be brought into mainstream portage. I notice that there is no ebuild in portage for it. they all claim to be faster, so I'm not going to hold my breath on that count. It looks like it is based on chromium, but allegedly has some very powerful privacy features. I have just become aware of a new Web browser called Brave.
