I mean…we have quite a bit of evidence of at this point that Google and Microsoft are creating problems for the future of the internet and technology in general.

I won’t say they’re the literal devil but I can’t say I’d argue with anyone that says they are.

Calling out horrible practices and encouraging people to use the alternatives that don’t do that shit…yeah, I’m not seeing an issue.

I’m not talking about the tech giants, but the loudest groups here treat alternatives like Brave, Vivaldi, etc. the same way

Iirc the isue with brave for most is that it was made by a “Nazi” (https://www.change.org/p/brendan-eich-brave-software-stop-providing-a-revenue-stream-for-white-supremacist-paedophiles). Personally the issue for me is that it wants to torrent for me but I want qbit to do it, and it’s chrome based. Vivaldi is also chrome based iirc, which is also a problem for people who don’t like the tech giants or the internet DRM bullshit google is trying to pull rn, but unless I’m mistaken idt they’re the worst other than that whole “chromium” thing.
