This is a random screenshot he used in hos video for roughly 2 seconds. This is not his tierlist.
Brave 🤮
Not of his. This is a known widespread tierlist made by other person (I do not remember if this came from Reddit, a YT video or what, but it is well known)
I’ve looked into it and it’s not even his tier list, just one he found online.
Never seen anoyone rank brave alongside or even above standard firefox.
No Mull?
Isn’t mull dead?
Ngl, feel like his tier list is based on usability while avoiding big tech.
Tbh even if this tierlist is not the best or great, it still is “good enough”. Plus the most important thing is to get tons of people interested.
I rather have “good enough” tier list that reaches to millions of people, then have a perfect tierlist that only reaches out to less than a dozen people.
Because amongst the millions of people who are interested, thousands of them will do their own research into privacy and dig deeper into it.
Plus right now, the biggest weakness of privacy is the fact that our community is too small to make an impact.
Having someone give this much outreach and influence to attract attention towards privacy is a good thing. (well, as long as their advice are on the positive end of the spectrum, and pewdiepie’s advise surely is, even if its not perfect)
Sir, this is 2025, we don’t do nuanced opinions here anymore.
Why is this guy popping up so much lately on Lemmy? I remember thinking this guy was a piece of shit about a decade ago…
I haven’t kept up with the times. Was I right? Or did I become an angry old man 20 years to early?
You could just watch the video
Watching the video is unlikely to answer my question.
It is quite the opposite. It will answer your question in it’s first 30secs. Even reading the other comments here will. Lol.
Quite literally the opposite. The first minute does not answer my question about why he has been appearing all over lemmy. Neither do the comments here.
Sure he’s trying to degoogle. Hence this post, but that is not what I asked.
Unclear if you’re a troll or just choosing to be dense…
You might be trolling. Good luck leading your life with that wit.
Ah, clearly a degen troll. My lemmy will be a better place with you on the block list.
Slow guy doesn’t even know what degen means.
Stop sharing and platforming the nazi
Also, this tierlist sucks fucking balls
Oh god how are there so many of you freaks
.ml is full of freaks, and so many instances do not defederate for some ungodly reason… I say make the freaks have to leave their comfort zone if they want to engage with real people.
Instance-based tribalism is stupid. I’d expect as much from a .world-er 🙃
You’re not proving me wrong here, chief.
Sarcasm, captain.
Says the banned user.
I couldn’t care less about what this character says.
It makes a lot of sense for someone like him to promote brave tbh
He did not promote it though. He said he uses firefox.
Seeing a lot of criticisms. Is there a better tier list then?
No, just uninformed hate of a youtuber who openly says he’s not an expert. Bunch of crusty autistic assholes in this thread for sure.
No Zen-Browser (though I am not sure when this vid was made), and Pale Moon should be in the “Not ideal for a normal human” at best.
Crazy to see how much people on here hate this guy
yeah, super weird how people hate a fascist
I don’t mean this in a mean way, honestly curious – fascist how? As far as I know he made a couple of distasteful jokes a decade ago and apologized for it. Not great but we should stop using words like fascist and Nazi unless we can back it up.
Brave is a series scam company.
Ive used Brave for about 2 years. Its great. I have everything turned off, and all shields up, plus deactivated ‘Leo’ AI. Whats not to like?
Exactly I’d even use Chrome before I’d ever touch Brave.
Would you mind giving some context? Ive never used Brave, but my dad does. In which sense is it a “scam”? Would want him to switch if its terrible
People care more about CEO’s opinion on politics and hate Web3 crypto more than they understand technical browser stuff.
Brave is far from perfect and the company had their contreveries but honestly if you disable all the cryptocrap and tweak it a tiny bit so it does not show you ads and feature you don’t use it is the best chromium browser in regards to security and privacy.
Ungoogled chromium by default can’t even compare, it’s not crap but brave does so much more than it’s better for the vast majority of users.
Good summary! Thank you!
And yet it uses less RAM in Android phones compared to my goat, Firefox… Man FF needs a lot of improvements, all my complaints come from Android, the browser is perfect even on macOS!
Firefox still doesn’t support tab groups on mobile. That’s a non-starter for me. Hopfully Ladybird has their shit better put together than mozilla when they finally release their browser
I haven’t heard about that browser, it seems that it does its own thing, IDK man, if FF that has years in the market and still hasn’t caught up, I have no big hopes for “new” projects.
brave search otoh is pretty gud. I believe they even do their own indexing.
Firefox is a monopoly’s pet
all hail lynx
Real experts browse the web by email
Is there anything emacs cannot do?

sed has left the chat
Y’all are seriously still using the internet?
AFAIK it hasn’t been used as an OS yet (meaning init - the thing you start after bootloader). Or a bootloader
Right?
Richard Stallman style!
My brain read this to the tune of Gangnam Style
Bracing a pedophilia and necrophilia sympathiser as your hero smh
Making a joke about a ridiculous habit is hardly making someone a hero.
Just because PewDiePie switched to Linux doesn’t mean we should listen to his browser recommendations
not his recommendations
People on Lemmy seem to be Pewdiepie bootlickers. Idk why but it’s really weird. Apparently you can do whatever but as long as you promote Linux, Lemmy will love you. Ridiculous.
True but he’s sparking more interest in FOSS so that’s still a good thing. I doubt his advice is perfect but if it gets more people started onto their own journey it’s a win.
You’re right about that, I was moreso saying that his crappy browser tier list isn’t worth sharing
Very true, I feel like people miss the point of his own experience and/or opinion
