They're not hacktivists, they're just assholes.
And what else should be recommended?
The choice is basically between Firefox or skinned Chromium.
Do you really want to experience first-hand just why Internet Explorer was this hated?
Here's a hint: de facto monopoly on browser market that allowed them to control the web standards back then and their ideas were not good.
it has become a sinking ship and I’m eager to see who picks up the shards and runs with it.
I don't think you have any idea how much work it takes to create a new browser.
Also, fun fact: Kagi owner believes only criminals want privacy and GDPR doesn't apply to them, because they said so!
Did anyone actually test how fast it is compared to Dark Reader?
Calling yourself "the fastest" is all nice and good, but some benchmarks would be nice.
You know what else is unsafe? Letting Windows force the auto-update and break your bootloader (and that's just their latest fuck-up).
No, it is insane. I don't know of other countries that allow a corporation to just not allow you to sue them and force you into arbitration.
But they're not - it's the same old, tired excuse that was never true.
"Too many different distros" was never really a good argument.

Actual music gets streamed from YouTube.
You know, you chose a bad post to get edgy.
Valve is actually one of the companies that treats fan projects very well, sometimes they'll even let you sell your project on Steam (see Black Mesa remake).
There's no reason an app should be more trustworthy than the email.
It's pretty standard for scummy companies to make the process as annoying as possible.

It's kinda shitty, but after reading the other links in the post I can't say it's very surprising.
Bottles devs seem weirdly hostile to the idea of anyone repackaging their software, because apparently they're the only ones that are able to do it properly.
edit: devs also refuse bug reports from any version that's not Flatpak, so in this context removing the button doesn't seem that unreasonable.
edit2: now that I've had a closer look at the PR mentioned in the post I'm not surprised at all.
Bottles devs are actively hostile. Apparently with this PR it's impossible to run Bottles outside Flatpak without the package maintainers patching the code.
