As the title states, either these browsers are nothing but full of trackers and ads or they are so locked down that they are basically not functional. Why can't I find a browser that is just a freaking browser but with no BS???

That's a fun hot take, regardless the open source browser they sponser is amazing and it's exactly what I want out of the box.

[–] Ilandar@lemmy.today 5 points 5 days ago (1 children)

It's not a hot take. It's a fact that has been acknowledged via public statements from the individual in question and the company.

it's an extremely hot take to call them a nazi because you disagree on one person's political viewpoints on immigration, and try to purity test a great open source project because of it.

[–] Ilandar@lemmy.today 5 points 5 days ago (1 children)

because you disagree on one person’s political viewpoints on immigration

That's a very mild way of saying that the political party he donates to supports ethnic cleansing. These are direct quotes from its leader:

In a debate hosted by Studio3 with Liberal member of parliament Martin Melin, Allard asked: "why won't the Liberals push for deporting 100 000 social welfare-Somalis?" and in the same debate said that "Sweden belongs to the Swedes. We have to make sure that we take care of our own damn people and we must deport these damn parasites who sit and live at our expense."

In a podcast segment about immigration and deportations Allard stated his opinion and said that "They will also be forced to leave, even if they are born in Sweden, because they have no natural connection to Sweden. They are not Swedish.

now you have moved the goalposts from mullvad, to one of its founders using personal money, now to a political party that isn't involved in mullvad.

does any of this impact the open source project? no.

Are you lost? Go back and reach the comment chain, I haven't "mOvEd tHe gOaLpOsTs" at all. The original reply to your first comment (from another person) was:

Until you remember their co-founder funds fascism

We were always talking about the co-founder in this comment chain, all of my replies to you have been about him.

and they cited a article calling the cofounder a nazi.

I don't care about the cofounders personal politics. The product is open source, its solid, and does a excellent job.

I don’t care about the cofounders personal politics.

Good for you, but the discussion in this comment thread has always been about his politics - that is literally what the first reply to your comment in this chain was about. The only one attempting to shift the goalposts in this conversation is you. Don't engage in the first place if you are so unwilling to discuss it.

No... it has been about mullvad being a great browser that just acts like a browser.

that is literally what the first reply to your comment in this chain was about.

and i've addressed why that hot take is just a whataboutism and purity testing doesn't belong in open source discussions.

Don’t engage in the first place if you are so unwilling to discuss it.

Same to you buddy! This is my thread your badgering me on.
