    Opera is the biggest piece of shit in existence, as it sends all of your data to a weird Chinese company. They also make use of shady marketing practices and constantly lie to their users.

      It sends those packets to 0.0.0.0 thanks to my HOSTS setup.

        I really don’t see a reason to use a proprietary browser in 2023. Firefox is the best in my opinion. Chromium and anything based on it is bad for the open internet. Google shouldn’t be able to control the entire web through their browser engine. Firefox is the only viable alternative.

          You’re preaching to the choir Firefox is my daily driver. Opera is just what I’m using with Twitch to see if it’s more efficient.

            Ok then I misunderstood your comment. Maybe I shouldn’t use Lemmy while I’m drunk. Is there a reason why efficiency is so important? Do you use a laptop with poor battery life?

              I definitely repurpose old hardware but I also want to keep my odroid or raspi from running too hot so they last.
