“better” is kind of implied when you suggest “alternatives”.

Only with context, which is kind of what I was trying to say. The context was Firefox users who are not happy with its current direction, or people looking for a secondary browser. That kind of makes the only necessary criteria "Not Firefox". Everything else is the creator's opinions of which ones you "must try".

To be fair to the video, it presented alternative browsers for those who either aren't happy about recent Firefox changes, or users who want a secondary browser. I'm not a fan of Brave personally, but the video never really makes the claim that Brave is objectively better than Firefox

Sorry, I left this ambiguous. My intended context was that the person you were replying to didn't mention Ecosia's privacy.

I don't see them claiming it is

The only downside is it can make web browsing and shopping a bit of a pain. But that’s my own fault for not taking 10 minutes to figure out how to set up split tunneling or just hosting qBittorrent on my media server…

Advice: Look up Gluetun and dockerize your torrent/vpn setup. Makes things real simple (including moving where it is hosted, should you choose to)

...What are you talking about?

If you want to take on archiving a huge library of media, more power to you. But that isn't a requirement. Many people use streaming downloads so that local storage is basically not required. Others download and set up services/plugins to delete episodes after they have been watched to ease storage requirements. Even if you want to keep all media, Raid is certainly a luxury, not necessity. Losing all of the media from a drive just means needing to download it all again.

And all of this is completely out of the argument of "feature parity" with Netflix. They drop shows and movies from their services all the time.

Ah yeah, fair enough.

@[email protected] you might want to look into disabling error reporting in production 👍
