After the whole Firefox debacle I'm trying to find a new privacy oriented browser for my Mac and iOS devices with bookmark syncing. Ideally an open source browser but I don't think one exists right now that has both macOS and iOS versions. For example LibreWolf has a Mac app but no iOS app.

It's not open source but Orion browser which exists on both Mac and iOS is the only browser I can find on Apple's App Store that has "Data Not Collected. The developer does not collect any data from this app." on its app store page.

And it has some interesting features like being able to run Chrome/Firefox extensions on iOS (including uBlock).

But I did some digging into Kagi, the makers of Orion and was turned off by them being an AI search company. Also, despite Kagi claiming Orion completely blocks fingerprinting I couldn't get Orion to pass EFF's fingerprinting benchmark tool; it always said I was unique no matter what settings I tried. And I've read some other questionable things about how Kagi operates its business which I won't go into here.

I know there's Brave but I'm turned off by the company's connection to crypto and their inclusion of AI in their browser.

Maybe Vivaldi? Vivaldi however says they do some anonymized telemetry to collect usage statistics. And again these two browsers also aren't open source either.

I'm afraid there are no good macOS + iOS browser setups? I'm hoping someone will correct me. 😬

I think Microsoft support webpages do this to the back button. I can't get back to my search page results by clicking the back button after clicking a link to a Microsoft support webpage. It always redirects me back. I either have to hold the back button down and select the search page from the drop down or double click the back button.

Goliath is the bad guy in that story and it doesn't end well for him.

NYT: "Did Trump say immigrants have 'bad genes'? MOSTLY FALSE. Trump was actually critiquing immigrants' choice in denim jeans."

Once my family and some friends went out to a Mexican restaurant in Houston. The next day one of my relatives couldn't find her expensive digital camera (this was in 2006 when average people still used digital cameras before smartphones). She claimed we were taking pictures with it at the restaurant. That wasn't true at all; we took no pictures. Everyone at the table but her didn't remember taking any pictures.

Soon after she calls the restaurant and starts yelling at the manager claiming that one of his employees stole the camera. She threatens to call the police and "border agents" because she assumes they're all "illegal" immigrants.

The next day we find her camera in its bag hanging on a chair in our apartment where she left it before we ever went to the restaurant. It was hidden under a her jacket. No apologies to the restaurant. 🙄

Well, if Alexa did call the police and they showed up, there's a chance the police might just shoot you instead of the burglar in your own home anyway.

fun fact: the length to width ratio of ISO 216, √2:1, is the same ratio as the tritone in an equal tempered 12-tone musical scale. If you fold A4 paper in half, you get a piece of paper with the same length to width ratio as before; analogously, if you invert a tritone, you get another tritone.

My mom was permabanned from Facebook in 2020 for constantly posting anti-vax nonsense so she just went to places like Gab and Parlor. 😑

I didn’t realize I could dry off with a towel while still standing in the bathtub/shower until I was 26. Now my bathroom floor doesn’t get wet on a daily basis.

I wasn’t even aware a new Aquaman movie was being released.

My mom was drinking diluted hydrogen peroxide daily for a while because some quack on YouTube claimed it prevents/cures cancer.
