Have you asked yourself what do you really need? Without the noise, without the hassle. Here's My software development setup for this 2...

100% agree on the Tor topic!

On the other hand, Chrome is also the most used among Mac and Windows users, in which you have Safari and Edge pre-installed respectively (and the OSs are quite annoying trying to re-rail you to their browsers 😂).
The users are the ones that consciously download, install and use Google Chrome, and painstakingly confirm that they prefer Chrome as default browser to their respective OSs every now and then.

Wether Chrome it is a "better" or "worse" browser is a totally different topic, probably the least important if you ask me, because market share depends on marketing and marketing is always a matter of perception, not product.

We, as "power users" can choose from a different point of view but for the majority of the population will use whatever they "perceive" as good. Once they've made their minds you won't probably change them, either.

Lastly I completely agree with you on that having a browser that's not spyware on its own is a huge point for privacy and is a first step to protect yourself.

PD: Shall you write a post about "ungoogled chromium" and other alternatives please mention me or let me know somehow! I'll probably learn something new 😄

I tried out Warp and the first thing I saw was a prompt to sign up for an account. I have never seen this for any terminal. I will stick to iTerm2.

I don't really know what they do with the email either; I just assume that everyone that asks for data is selling it so I just use the spam email address and call it a day 😅 I use the same address to answer spam/scam emails as a hobby so they waste time with me instead of dealing with a potential victim so I won't loose any valuable email either 😂

Now let's be honest, If it was me dedicating time and effort to a piece of software I would also ask for an email at least! As a fellow developer I understand that we need money to buy coffee ☕ and vitamin supplements to fuel the innovation. 🙃

On the other hand, If you don't test it, how would you know if it's any good or not? Do it for science! 😂

Laughed out loud with the browser section 😂😂😂

Been using VSCodium for some months, I'll try Codeium now, thanks! ❤️

Great article wish a dash of humor. Codeium looks promising and I will be testing it next week

So far I was normally coding and in some cases it suggested some boilerplate that I used. It is helpful, but not as much as I expected. Still, I will keep using it to reduce writing boilerplate and will dive deeper on how to improve my coding efficiency

Yup, that's the main reason I'm using these.

It sometimes predicts the next function I'll code by learning what I've done before (I guess) so it gets more useful. You can also add a comment in the code of what do you want to do and it'll help you on that, though copilot seems slightly better at this specifically idk, need to test it more.

You are right, it predicts what you want to write based on what you have written so far. Over time it keeps getting better at suggesting what you want to write.

I love it 🤣
I tested vscoduim, it was good until I missed finding some extensions
The impression is that we will all love Codeium
Thank you for sharing 🤜🏽🤛🏽

Yes! The extensions that aren't available are the Microsoft ones, the rest should allegedly be there 😁

Thanks you for your comment! 😀

I don’t know what makes Google Chrome a “king”.

Well... this 😅

If privacy is your main focus one could tweak a firefox to the extent you consider necessary as you well said, you might as well use Tor which is a privacy-enhancing, if you will, browser based on Firefox, or you could do exactly the same with Chromium!

Though the selling point that got me was not "Arc is the browser that's most focused on privacy" (we lost that war long ago, let's be honest 😅) but "they re-thought something we all use -web browsers- and designed on a different way" which I feel refreshing after using it for some weeks. I now need some features such the split view so there's no way back...

Everything are very interesting. But the fact that we have almost lost the battle for privacy is the most accurate of all.

Well I didn't say "almost", ask your government's intelligence services that monitor the Internet traffic, which -totally by chance- happen to be the ones that own most of the Tor network nodes in that territory to increase the chances for them to be the output node (and all that with your money 🙃)

Certain things like point-to-point encryption are nice to bring privacy but we don't have that in most "things" we do across the Internet, have we

No doubt all the mentioned tech/software a
are awesome 😎.

But for AI, have you tried Pieces For Developers.

I have tried VSCodium for a while then I realised cannot use Remote Window. Does anyone have the same problem as me?

This might be one of the limits, as that could be a Microsoft VS Code specific extension :(
