  3. #voidlinux users with void-packages and that use the Brave browsers ... templates for 1.92.140 for both #bravebrowsers are in the codeberg.org/mobinmob/abyss-pa repos.

    This one requires a couple qt package dependencies to be updates. Plan to update and reboot for these to ensure your system is not in a state of being partially up to date.

  8. 📦🌐 Brave 1.92 aduce containerele native pe Linux, Windows și macOS

    Odată cu lansarea versiunii Brave 1.92, popularul browser axat pe confidențialitate introduce o funcție majoră, extrem de solicitată de comunitate: containerele native (Brave Containers). Această funcție, inspirată de faimoasa extensie Multi-Account Containers din Firefox, ajunge în premieră ca tehnologie direct integrată în nucleul unui browser bazat pe Chromium, fără a mai fi nevoie de extensii terțe.

    Deși Brave este cunoscut pentru straturile sale avansate de securitate și blocare a trackerelor, funcția de containere vine să rezolve o problemă majoră de productivitate și gestionare a identităților digitale.

    Iată detaliile cheie despre funcționarea acestei tehnologii și cum îți schimbă fluxul de lucru zilnic:

    🔹 Izolarea completă a datelor per tab (Multi-Account Browsing):
    Ideea din spatele containerelor este simplă, dar extrem de eficientă: fiecare container funcționează ca o bulă izolată. Cookies-urile, istoricul sesiunii și datele de stocare locală din interiorul unui container nu sunt partajate cu restul browserului. Acest lucru îți permite să deschizi același site (de exemplu, Gmail sau X) în două taburi diferite, dar în containere separate, putând să fii autentificat în două conturi simultan pe aceeași pagină, fără ca sesiunile să se intersecteze.

    🔹 Presetări implicite și organizare vizuală clară:
    Pentru a asigura o organizare rapidă, Brave 1.92 vine din fabrică cu patru categorii de containere predefinite:

    Personal, Work (Muncă), Social și School (Școală).
    Fiecare container este delimitat printr-un cod de culori specific pe marginea tabului și o pictogramă în bara de adrese. Utilizatorii au libertatea totală de a crea noi containere personalizate, de a le redenumi sau de a le șterge.

    🔹 Scenarii ideale de utilizare:

    Social Media Manageri: Pot gestiona multiple conturi de brand în paralel fără a deschide mai multe ferestre sau profiluri separate.

    Dezvoltatori Web: Pot testa o aplicație web într-o filă conectat ca administrator și în altă filă (într-un container diferit) ca utilizator obișnuit.

    Separarea vieții personale de cea profesională: Poți deschide YouTube în containerul personal pentru ca istoricul de vizualizare să nu îți influențeze contul Google de la muncă.

    🔹 Diferența dintre containere și protecția anti-tracking existentă:
    Dezvoltatorii Brave subliniază că introducerea containerelor este o funcție de productivitate și confort, nu o nouă barieră de confidențialitate. Asta deoarece browserul integrează deja de mult timp partiționarea stocării (Storage Partitioning), o tehnologie de fundal care împiedică rețelele de publicitate să te urmărească de la un site la altul. Containerele îți oferă ție, ca utilizator, controlul vizual și manual asupra modului în care îți împarți identitățile online.

    🔹 Disponibilitate și activare pe Linux:
    Funcția este disponibilă nativ pe toate platformele desktop (Linux, Windows, macOS). Fiind vorba despre o lansare treptată (phased rollout), dacă nu o vezi imediat activată după actualizarea la versiunea 1.92, o poți forța accesând brave://flags, căutând termenul containers și trecând opțiunea pe „Enabled”. Ulterior, opțiunea va apărea în Setări (brave://settings/braveContent), iar utilizarea ei se face printr-un simplu click dreapta pe orice tab.

  9. Fixed my issues with the Bitwarden extension in Helium!

    Biometric unlock didn't work, turned out that the migration from Brave to Helium didn't migrate the correct permissions for the Bitwarden extension which was fixed by toggling the biometric unlock setting off and on again... 🤦🏼‍♂️

    Now I can wave goodbye to Brave 👋🏻

  15. Okay, so I'm stuck at using Brave v1.91.178, since the latest update has removed MV2 support and I have some extensions (most notable being ViolentMonkey) that aren't available for MV3. I guess it's time to look for another browser... 🙄

    I use the Snoozz extension to park browser tabs for later action. I also have some tab that I open at regular scheduled times to do things. So I rely on those tabs to pop up in a week or in a month's time.

  23. Mullvad VPN's CEO has been caught supporting Sweden's far-right political party. In fact, the CEO is the party's largest individual financial donor.

    I would suggest IVPN ( @ivpn ) as an alternative. iVPN stays out of politics, except when advocating for privacy and opposing surveillance.

    That said...

    When I previously pointed out that Proton VPN's CEO was a strong supporter of Donald Trump, or that Proton falls under U.S. jurisdiction, a group of people tried to perform mental gymnastics to defend Proton. They claimed that any alternative was no better or insisted that alternatives failed to meet whatever qualifying buzzwords they chose.

    Today, I see those same types of people doing the same thing — defending Mullvad VPN while attempting to dismiss and degrade any suggested alternative.

    The Fediverse has a group of politically right-leaning individuals who have learned not to express their support for fascism as directly, but instead to do so more passively in the hope of influencing others.

    Standing up for companies led and owned by fascists while claiming "that's different" when comparing a company with the people leading it (Brave Browser, for example) is one way they encourage others to ignore what happens behind the scenes. Talking down alternatives that are not associated with fascism, or claiming they are no better for vague "reasons" (insert random excuse here), is another way these individuals encourage people to turn a blind eye.

    No matter what alternative I or anyone else suggests, the important thing is that you choose one that does not support fascism. Don't turn a blind eye, and don't let someone else's mental gymnastics make you question whether you should switch providers.

  30. The Backstory of Brave Browser: Privacy Pioneer Born from Controversy

    Brave did not come from nowhere. It was founded in 2015 by internet legend Brendan Eich, the creator of JavaScript and co-founder of Mozilla. After leaving Mozilla in 2014 amid controversy over his support for Proposition 8, Eich wanted to build something different.

    Along with co-founder Brian Bondy, he launched Brave Software with a clear mission: create a faster and more private browser that blocks ads and trackers by default, without relying on the broken ad ecosystem.

    Built on Chromium for compatibility, Brave launched its first developer versions in early 2016. It quickly gained attention for its speed and strong privacy focus.

    In 2017 and 2018, Brave introduced its Rewards system using the Basic Attention Token, or BAT. This cryptocurrency lets users earn tokens by viewing privacy-respecting ads, which they can then tip creators with.

    Despite some early controversies, including criticism over ad replacement plans and a Tor mode privacy issue, Brave grew rapidly. By focusing on user control, blocking invasive tracking, and offering a Chromium-based alternative to Chrome, it became one of the most popular privacy-first browsers, especially loved on Linux.

    Today, Brave stands as a direct challenge to the surveillance-heavy model of big tech browsers.

  31. I think that brave origin is the best way the brave team could have released a paid version of their browser since if you dont buy it you don't loose out of any feature a premium version might have introduced. Brave origin is just a debloat script thats integrated into the browser that also costs you 60€. If you don't want it then don't buy it and debloat the browser yourself.

    as for me: I'm on Linux its free there :spinnier_cat:
