If it was for money, there are also Paid OSS, not all OSS is free to use. Anyway since nowadays a huge part of OSS is developed by Google, M$, Fakebook, Amazon and other Big Corporations, it turns more important as looking if the source of the product is readable, to look for the ethics, transparency and its community, not always advisable in OSS.

I use Vivaldi and Zen

Not so easy, the Chromium market is brutal, more for an indie browser like Vivaldi. Releasing it’s full code will be, not only the end of Vivaldi, but also the end of other Chromiums. No for nothing, Vivaldi, despite an marginal market share (~2%) is mencioned on level eye with the US global players because it’s features which nobody else has, the only even used as automotive browser in a lot of EU car brands, not even archived by Google.

Propietary because part of it’s unique UI which can’t be used legally by Chrome or EDGE, but by the user to mod it, not OpenSource but source public available. For feature rich Gecko browsers it is way easier to be OpenSource, because there isn’t any big (US) corporations which use these browsers, also for simple Chromium forks whithout much features which are interesting for GOOGLE or M$. I understand that opt in to dirct match, partner ads and search engine are preferable, but at least it’s way more ethical to create incomming for the Vivaldi infrastructure (Mastodon, usermail, userblog, sync server, etc…) than logging and selling user data.

Agree, eg. Apertus (FOSS) is a great choice, but even some indie ones are pretty private, eg.Andisearch. AI can be great to improve our research, work and creativity, but it’s bad if we use it to substitute our research, work and creativity. But yes, avoiding the AIs from big (US) corporations, which use it to spy and log user data.

Yes, two parties, one right wing and the other fascist as is. The US never was a real democracy for the people, only for Billonairs, Big Corporations and several economic and media lobbies which are making the policy to their like. Feudalism v2.0

Not the EU, only some countries, as the first Germany is licking the US ass.

Next Mexico and Cuba, as hear in interviews some weeks ago. Why nobody invite him to an sight seeing tour in an cabrio in Dallas in the old US tradition?

Someone here from another country with Oil?
