Arc browser is somewhat weird. (coming from a beta tester who tested the browser for mac) Why isn't there a better rendering engine, like way faster than we have for years.

Is that the one that requires windows 11? My PC is too old for that trendy browser. It looks cool though

not so cool, already used too many chromium based browser apart from UI everything is same, it's just dressing up to present it as different. Edge does it too, so every other chromium based browser.

I've seen a lot of hype around it from Mac users, and when they released it for Windows, the excitement increased even more. That's all I know about it. What do you currently use?

Firefox + chrome on windows and safari + opera gx on mac, gnome web + firefox on linux. Firefox + chrome on android. Oh and Safari + opera gx on iphone.

I haven't used opera for years, you got me curious I'm downloading it now!

I was using opera for a while but I got tired of the ads, something on their default landing. I cant really remember now at this point. I've recently switched to brave and its been good. I did enable the ads for their "crypto" currency. No idea what balance im at or if its even worth anything...
It seems you just need to jump browsers every once in a while as one of them starts to fill with bloat. I've gone from Firefox->Opera->Opera GX->Brave

I appreciate Brave's features, but I don't block ads, which is why it's not my favorite browser. People put in a lot of effort to earn those small AdSense profits, and we enjoy their content from the comfort of our sofas without giving anything back in return. It's just not morally ethical to me.

not always, most of time one needs adblock is cause there are disruptive ads ruining the experience. And instead of a browser based adblock using a dns based one is great with whitelisting googleads, media, and some other non disruptive ones.

True. Some websites are annoying on face. Like we have to close non stop popups, and search content between ads.

Thats why i think adblock is really needed for some use case.

Yup, ads are ok as long as they are not annoying. But there are many use cases for adblock.

Totally agree. Now the ad agencies are getting craftier day by day, there are many times it seems impossible to block some disruptive ads.

Youtube. Mother of all ad annoyance.

Yeah, but still acceptable, but almost every video one plays getting ads is not cool.

An ad once may be acceptable. But these days there are lots of unskippable ads in single video. uBlock on my desktop keeps them at bay though.

I'm not here, but I could not resist posting just one palette for @noob404

Whole community is waiting for your arrival..

Literally everyone, so does the mods

No worries, I'm not looking to get banned twice in the same year. But who knows, that RN New Years thread is probably fair game.

They better not touch you We'll fight for you. IDK if this term is trademarked.

you've got a point there. Some ads are just way over the top... I think pop ups were what got adblockers going in the first place. I used to hate those things so much back in the day. guess there's a balance to strike between supporting content creators and not getting bombarded with annoying ads

True that and believe i have seen some of the most disturbing ads while surfing, and thats what triggered me to setup a DNS based filter for the entire home network. I just don't want those kind of ads served anywhere especially to kids.
