If the only reason google doesn't have a monopoly on web standards is because firefox "exists", then I think Google does in fact have a monopoly on web standards. Other browsers exists besides chrome and firefox ones, some like Konqeror even work pretty well for how old they are, but I think firefox is eventually going to see the same fate as netscape slowly becoming more and more irrelevant, and unlike netscape they can't exactly sue Google for anti-trust (at least not without losing 90% of their funding)

LibreWolf is better, includes ublock and no tracking by default.

There are good chromium based browsers too, I'm not aware of Vivaldi having any major controversies or shady business decisions in recent years, it has a built in adblock thats independent of chromium's upstream.

If you disqualify every browser due to its upstream having issues then you should probably revert to using CURL or something convoluted like what richard stallman does. Every browser that exists today is a fork of some browser that previously was good but started to suck.

Nginx was the easiest to setup for me at the time and I've no reason to fix what isn't broken.

I guess I'd ask where the jellyfin shares are at?

I run my own and I'd love to share it with more people

Keylogging or screen recording basically.

I have a google TV device and I didn't even know they had a free option FROM google, but Pluto and tubi already have ads so not really surprising google would too... I just use jellyfin and smart tube, haven't seen ads in ages.

It is on f-droid too. This isnt being "unhinged" its just calling out google for their hypocrisy and pointless "privacy” policies and citing lots of examples.

Isnt that basically what a number of kodi and stremio addons do?

However, I don't get why you would ever use Lidarr. Why would you ever download music using torrents? You can use tools like spotdl and yt-dlp to download songs from YouTube music and Spotify, it's faster and more reliable; I have had some issues finding torrents of music from less-known artists.

I make use of deezeloader, deemix and/or streamrip, which is what I use because unlock Spotify deezet, qobuz and tidal (supported by streamrjp) have true lossless flac audio available.

Lidar can be extended to work with them instead of torrents.

Not Compatible with what exactly? It works on my 20 year old ipod using rockbox, any modern players should support it.

Since FLAC tend to be around 1444kbps I use 144kbps opus and that makes them abour 10% of the size.

This is a tough situation because the more changes to settings you make the more unique you will appear. Less is more in this case, libre wolf or Mullvad are both good Firefox based browsers with good defaults. My biggest recommendation to add is a cookie auto delete plugin, or if you dont need to keep anything logged in even better just have it delete cookies on shutdown.
