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?

Crazy to see how much people on here hate this guy

Never seen anoyone rank brave alongside or even above standard firefox.

No Mull?

This is a random screenshot he used in hos video for roughly 2 seconds. This is not his tierlist.

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)

Brave 🤮

Brave is a series scam company.

Just because PewDiePie switched to Linux doesn't mean we should listen to his browser recommendations

I've looked into it and it's not even his tier list, just one he found online.

Stop sharing and platforming the nazi

Also, this tierlist sucks fucking balls

What exactly has he done to warrant considering this? He's a yt star, not a privacy expert.

I know it's been said, but Brave is a hard no. Replace it with Ungoogled Chromium. I haven't seen the video so I don't understand why it's in the "not ideal for a normal human" list, and I am biased since I use plenty of "not for normal" tools.

It's vitally important to know which browser is preferred by the guy who says slurs to an audience of children

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)

Ppl focusing on the negative. It's just his subjective list. He doesn't claim to be an expert. Lemmy autism peaking here. More exposure to foss is good guys

that is not his list, just a random screenshot.

... I don't think listening to random big influencers is a good way forward (in anything).

(As to the list - others already pointed out everything, y'all nerds know shit! <3)

I couldn't care less about what this character says.

Brave? Hard no. Vivaldi? Also no.

Also, where are qutebrowser and Zen?

qutebrowser and IceCat are real top of the game when it comes to privacy. But then, they break some of the sites functionality, especially IceCat who seems to be going under the "if your site doesn't work, it's your site's problem" motto.

I kinda think Floorp is better than waterfox

Wait. He hasn't crumbled into dust or whatever these "Offputting guy with shit politics who has an inexplicable army of irritating tween fans" youtubers do when they're past their shelf life? I thought he was irritating when I was in high school. That was...what, thirteen years ago now?

LibreWolf W. Missing my boy Zen Browser on there tho

Edit: also RIP Mull 😔✊

That's a good find that famous people are getting into FOSS (should be free as in freedom too). But it's really not a good thing that they spread a non expert speaking to the crowd.

Tier lists are meant to be mainly subjective and pretty relative to the person that made it. In that way Pewdipie could quote experts but in no case should make a tier list based on what he found the last weeks (I didn't fully watched the video so maybe I'm wrong and he made a big disclaimer)
