I really am trying to improve my attitude about things… as one ages it seems there is a natural tendency to become somewhat jaded, and as I’ve never been one to jump on board a trend, I’m gonna try and fight it.<\/p>\n

To that end,\u00a0fuck edge and chrome<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Those sonsofbitches can suck a stone.\u00a0 Enough! There are other, better, options.\u00a0 We’ve all known about them for years now.\u00a0 If not for that goddamned inertia thing.<\/p>\n

Well, listen up punk. The man has been so up in your stuff it no longer qualifies as your stuff. It’s theirs. They own your colon. :\u00a0 <- Owned by them.<\/p>\n

The straw for me was the fact that Chrome will not save your browsing history for longer than 90 days.\u00a0 I mean, sure,\u00a0Google<\/em> will save your shit forever, and sell it to whomever. But as far as letting you browse your OWN FUCKING BROWSER HISTORY, no… you get 3 months and then it is trashed.<\/p>\n

There seems to be a ‘hack’ to get firefox to save your history ‘forever’, but even there you have to give it an actual number of pages to save, so no… not forever (although, I put 9,999,999 into the field you have to hack into firefox’s config, so yeah… forever).<\/p>\n

I’ve been moving to Brave for the past few weeks as it still shitcans YouTube ad’s (Chrome recently stopped allowing ad-blockers to work on youtube.com), but it seems Brave has brought the 90 day limitation over from Chromium.<\/p>\n

Vivaldi, which is also based on Chromium, does not have a problem with setting your browser history to ‘Forever’. Thank the Gods.<\/p>\n

So yeah… Use Vivaldi, it’s better.<\/p>\n
