What does that have to do with the browser? Last I checked, browsers aren't transphobic.
You do you, but I personally refuse to make product choices based on the person who makes it. Brave is the least bad chromium browser, so I use it as a backup to my main Gecko-based browser. I'm not a fan of Mozilla either, but that's irrelevant since I pick my software based on what it does, not based on the management of the company that builds it.

It's pretty sleazy. Ungoogled Chromium or Vivaldi are probably less sleazy, if at all.

Interestingly, the percent of Windows goes down if you look at just the United States, where it's only 63% of OSes. And it also goes down similarly when you set it to the UK, or North America, or almost any other region. But it goes up to around 73% when you limit it to Europe or Asia. Weird, why is it higher in those areas?

Because it's mainly a measure of how much people use Macs. Apple products were always significantly more popular and "hype" in the Anglo world than anywhere else. 5,5% global vs 16% in USA, for example

What a title. Made me think installing the browser blocked the feature machine-wide.

Unless you're tech-savvy and actively change your OS, people just use whatever is shipped with their computer and, yea, Apple isn't nearly as popular outside of the English-speaking world as it is within it, at least when it comes to laptops. The share of Linux, and other smaller systems, is probably roughly the same.

Oh so they're just doing whatever Firefox is doing in private mode on Android that makes screenshots all black

For now it is opt-in. It's unlikely to remain that way.
Also it's not like windows doesn't routinely "forgets" these settings with updates. Or harasses you to opt in again with every update, in the hopes that one day you'll let it slip

He invented JavaScript, so definitely don't use that either. For real. JavaScript sucks.
I used to hate JS but barley had used it. Now I use it on a daily base and hate it even more.

"Feature"

I've used this for years and have never interacted with any crypto feature
Not interacted doesnt mean it's non-existant.
It exists and therefore it's bad enough. -

Vivaldi is not open source, so for me it doesn't count as a valid option.

Unfortunately that would involve using the Brave browser, which is an antifeature in itself.

I‘m not even pro Brave but all that ad stuff is opt-in so it doesn‘t matter as long as you don‘t want to see ads. The arguments in this thread are starting to just loop in circles. Essentially using Brave is fine if you stick to the default. There‘s no sleazy stuff if you don‘t enable it and the CEO also doesn‘t make a dime from you if that‘s something you‘re concerned about. You could of course use a different chromium browser if you want but it‘s virtually the same thing.

Actually it does! When youre installing, just delete the windows boot partition and your done!
Heck, wipe the entire disk!
(based on a real life experience)
(windows just kept standing no matter what partition i deleted so i wiped the disk clean)

Daves garage actually had a good video on the shared memory architecture recently that gives some insights on why apple designed this way they did. Don’t dismiss “different” as “trash.” You sound like an idiot when you do and it makes it difficult for adults to take you seriously. PC and Mac are designed with different goals in mind, so they tend to make different choices in their engineering, and you aren’t going to like every decision either side makes.
Shared memory is different to unified memory, AMD's got an implementation of the later with their "Ryzen AI MAX+" (ugh) systems, does quite well in benchmarks.
It also doesn't hurt that Apple puts the RAM on the SoC and gives it a truckload of bandwidth. DDR5 is about 70GB/s, meanwhile the M4 Max is around 540GB/s.
