Anyone here ragging on brave that is on a Windows platform has got a real funky view of privacy. By percentage, that is probably most.
Definitely agree, but your comment makes me wonder what the stats are for desktop users. Lemmy is mostly geeks for now from what I can tell.
Could be. But considering spikes after API elimination from Reddit I bet it's a hugely mobile crowd. I myself am a nearly exclusive mobile user. Desktop lemmy is a pretty dismal experience at present I'm sorry to say.
How so? I jumped on to Lemmy from mobile but the desktop experience seems pretty fine to me so far.
Try alexandrite, it's a web frontend for any instance that looks great.
I am too, but moreso because my phone is always there and takes zero time to set up. My computer needs a place to rest, and I can't pull it out while I'm waiting on a train or in line at a counter. I prefer the desktop experience, but 90% of my lemmy usage is mobile. When the computer comes out, it's usually for work.
If you've got a computer or a phone, you're almost certainly being tracked. Picking and choosing which entity is tracking you seems masturbatory.
You can use computers without being tracked.
