Opera 12 was the only good browser. It was so good that it had to be destroyed, which was achieved in Opera 13.

i think you earn crypto by letting them place their own ads in place of ones blocked or some such scheme?

Brave has done bizarre poo poo, look up the Tom Scott thing or the recent VPN thing. They keep doing hostile things.

But also, a few years ago when the browser was still new they had advertised on 4chan incognito with blurbs like "come home white man" so you know these people are quite uhh

i think google just isn't particularly good at user interfaces (probably because they're compromised from ads)

google calender sucks too. you gotta scroll left-to-right (what the gently caress) and the scrolling is not smooth so you jump from month to month. it's extremely terrible. they should make it scroll up and down and smoothly scroll between months so you can more easily see what's going on at the end of one month and the beginning of the other.

oh and adding events is a bad experience too. just dogshit.

i honestly don't know how they hosed up a calendar app that badly.

ok i'm trying adguard out.

can you get it to make exceptions for some elements? i'd like to except the banner ads on sa (maybe block a few specific annoying ones if they come up).
