Project that contains (contained?) porn in the source tree https://github.com/Alex313031/thorium/pull/469 and I've heard the maintainer also promotes some quite reprehensible stuff. So I can't support it.
Didn't know that. That's weird. Seemed like a cool project from the GitHub :S but I was a little surprised I found such a gem that no one had posted in the last year! haha :)
BTW - how did you know that? Where did you hear about that? And what reprehensible stuff? o_O Now you've got me intrigued! haha :)
edit: I looked into it a little more and I kinda have the feeling that this could possibly be a novel-in-this-domain (yet-ancient-globally) way to takeout a potential (in this case, "browser fork") competitor: just plant something morally reprehensible about them, to lie/dissemble to try to trash their reputation and make people scared to associate.
If this were what it is, it would reveal that the simple act of forking (successfully -- moderately) a browser was so threatening to the browser monopolies as to be surprising. This is interesting! hahaha :)
This is sad. I have been wanting a everything from a Chromium based browser that this appears to have on the box.
I can't install this on my work computer, which is where I need to solve the M$ Teams in Chrome/Chromium making my laptop sound like a 747 while slowing to a snail's pace.
Edit: To be 100% clear, my issue is with unknowingly one day the author could accept some NSFW content into the project, and it unknowingly make its way to my corporate issued laptop through an auto-update. The guy opened the door to this type of risk when the content was put there originally. I'm all for easter eggs, but when it's NSFW content inside a thing that people use for work, nope.
have you tried librewolf recently? I've been using it for 3-4 months just to get off chrome based stuff and I have been pretty impressed. It mostly works better than chrome and at least as well as brave for all the stuff I have thrown at it (I like the tabs better, I really like the container tabs option so I can stuff the spyware.. err social media in a very isolated framework), I really like that all the extensions I was using on chrome/brave work in librewolf or have better options. My only annoyance so far is bitwarden behaves weirdly in private windows and that's very minor.
I use FF as my daily for work. Chrome is simply there for Teams. Teams doesn't work so well in FF. I can't imagine Librewolf is any better than FF as far as Teams though.
I use FF containers for the tab isolation you're describing. It works very well for managing multiple AWS accounts at once.
Depends on what kind of porn. Society needs porn. If it is legit adult porn stuff, that's ok. I would prefer donating to legit porn cause than any political superpacs. You know, some societies view politicians worse off than whores. At least whores earn honest work. You have no idea what kind of unprotective act those politician exposed to (I have decades experience in this industry, it is way more dirty than Hollywood shown)...I can name a few: Feinstein, Biden, Pelosi, AOC, Mitt, etc.
In this repo: furry. A coworker of mine reported another repository of this author (or another contributor?) for according to my coworker containing CP. Read issue 474 as well.
afaik it wasn't CP per se, it was images of botched circumcisions because he is very anticircumcision and had that as evidence for why. Still not appropriate to be anywhere near a git repo but the context is vastly different than cp. This doesn't change the recommendation to not touch this project with a 100 foot pole, but I think context is important.
Hardly reprehensible. Not a very "professional thing sure, I wouldn't trust a browser made by someone who puts porn in the source but its not like its a moral failing for what seems to be someone's side project
Edit: I see the accusations of containing cp, that's way more concerning and obvious why you didn't link it but you could have just said that.
Yeah, man. Honestly it's kind of a sexy picture that yiff png^0. I ain't into furry shit and I think it's weird, but that's a pretty sexy pose right there for people of a certain orientation.
And hilariously it ain't no different to stock-standard fare you see everyday on tabloids, TV, or Instagram! Like WTAF people having a moral-panic-meltdown over this shit? hahaha. Secretly Google just melting because somebody actually made a good Chrome fork. Tho I'm scared by even thinking of saying this I'll have to kiss goodbye to my GMail account, and they'll probably cancel all my accounts but still keep charging my credit card with no way to purge, right? Amiright, ABC.XYZ? Sergey, I thought we were freeeeeeens? :) heh.
I mean, weird to include it in a GitHub repo, but not evil. The fact that some NPCs are falling over themselves to call this evil (while probably repressed-guilt-projectively retreating to their private stashus of furry-et-al pon when the sun rises) suggests there's "rotten" in the state of browser forking, methinks! hahahahaha :)
