(#cepoeiq) @tel why not? What is wrong about that browser?

(#cepoeiq) @justamoment Yeah it's really fucking annoying 😡 Figuring out how to convince Chrome to stop offering or actually opening the Teams or Slack desktop apps though is equally painful 🤦‍♂️

(#cepoeiq) @prologic I too often have to use it at work. I'm on Linux so the xdg-open keep asking me to run the non existent app everytime, I think you can tweak the browser to change the behavior for any custom protocols somewhere, I've seen it in Firefox but not in Chrome. I need it myself since I use everyday both Teams and Zoom, bothering me on every joining.

(#cepoeiq) @prologic The mobile browsers are both free software, but the Mac OS browser is currently proprietary. > We plan to open source our Mac app after the beta period, like we’ve done for our iOS & Android app, and many of our built-in privacy protections are already open sourced.

(#cepoeiq) @carsten NOOOOOO

(#cepoeiq) @akoizumi I don't have a choice 😆

(#cepoeiq) @carsten I tried duckduckgo on Android and was pleasantly surprised but it's still somewhat immature as a daily driven browser for me, especially the tabs navigation, I even filed a feedback report about it from the settings in hope it gets better. Sadly there no Linux version right now, once it's out I'll definitely try it out.

(#cepoeiq) @mckinley Ahh I see. Well at _least_ they do intend to open source it? 👌

(#cepoeiq) @prologic Yes, they said they intend to do so, but it doesn't matter what they say. Proprietary software claiming to “protect your privacy” cannot and should not be trusted.

(#cepoeiq) @carsten > why not? What is wrong about that browser? It's proprietary and DuckDuckGo has had a sketchy past.
