It gets my goat that people think it’s a good option. There are plenty of articles explaining some of the many issues with it, but a few are:
- It’s run by anti-LGBTQ+ crypto bros.
- It has ads right out of the box.
- It collected donations towards people who never signed up for them - then held them to ransom in exchange for the kind of information you should never share on the Internet.
- They’re a for-profit advertising company. “Privacy-centric” my elbow.
don’t write off safari so quickly. it’s got fingerprinting protection, browser profiles that separate cookies and history, and extension support. i use ublock origin lite with next dns and don’t get any ads anywhere. you can use adguard as well. (check safari settings for the fingerprinting, it’s on for private browsing only by default)
