I couldn’t care less about what this character says.
Not of his. This is a known widespread tierlist made by other person (I do not remember if this came from Reddit, a YT video or what, but it is well known)
This is a random screenshot he used in hos video for roughly 2 seconds. This is not his tierlist.
It makes a lot of sense for someone like him to promote brave tbh
Seeing a lot of criticisms. Is there a better tier list then?
I’ve looked into it and it’s not even his tier list, just one he found online.
Ngl, feel like his tier list is based on usability while avoiding big tech.
Tbh even if this tierlist is not the best or great, it still is “good enough”. Plus the most important thing is to get tons of people interested.
I rather have “good enough” tier list that reaches to millions of people, then have a perfect tierlist that only reaches out to less than a dozen people.
Because amongst the millions of people who are interested, thousands of them will do their own research into privacy and dig deeper into it.
Plus right now, the biggest weakness of privacy is the fact that our community is too small to make an impact.
Having someone give this much outreach and influence to attract attention towards privacy is a good thing. (well, as long as their advice are on the positive end of the spectrum, and pewdiepie’s advise surely is, even if its not perfect)
Sir, this is 2025, we don’t do nuanced opinions here anymore.
Brave 🤮
No Zen-Browser (though I am not sure when this vid was made), and Pale Moon should be in the “Not ideal for a normal human” at best.
Ppl focusing on the negative. It’s just his subjective list. He doesn’t claim to be an expert. Lemmy autism peaking here. More exposure to foss is good guys
I kinda think Floorp is better than waterfox
Floorp is amazing
I’m considering switching to Floorp, I’ll need to check of Pewdiepie has his reasons and what those are.
He barely touches on the topic of browsers, it’s like 40 second segment, i don’t think he even made the tier list.
It’s vitally important to know which browser is preferred by the guy who says slurs to an audience of children
B-b-but he has a FAMILY now! Isn’t that so WHOLESOME!
Who hurt you?
What exactly has he done to warrant considering this? He’s a yt star, not a privacy expert.
He’s been getting into FOSS and privacy lately
Just because PewDiePie switched to Linux doesn’t mean we should listen to his browser recommendations
True but he’s sparking more interest in FOSS so that’s still a good thing. I doubt his advice is perfect but if it gets more people started onto their own journey it’s a win.
You’re right about that, I was moreso saying that his crappy browser tier list isn’t worth sharing
Very true, I feel like people miss the point of his own experience and/or opinion
People on Lemmy seem to be Pewdiepie bootlickers. Idk why but it’s really weird. Apparently you can do whatever but as long as you promote Linux, Lemmy will love you. Ridiculous.
That’s a good find that famous people are getting into FOSS (should be free as in freedom too). But it’s really not a good thing that they spread a non expert speaking to the crowd.
Tier lists are meant to be mainly subjective and pretty relative to the person that made it. In that way Pewdipie could quote experts but in no case should make a tier list based on what he found the last weeks (I didn’t fully watched the video so maybe I’m wrong and he made a big disclaimer)
If you watch the video, Felix tells you twice in the same sentence that he uses Arch.
Lemmy had taught me that this means Felix IS an expert on FOSS
How sorry didn’t know, so that make him really one of the biggest expert in FOSS 100%
