If you're talking about Chromium, you should know that standard Chromium builds still have Google's code in them. You'd need to use a specially Degoogled Chromium build. I'm sure multiple such projects exist already. Just saying it's a common misconception that vanilla Chromium isn't "googled."
Firefox is bloated in its own way absolutely. But Brave is a good thing to fork imo because the adblock and anti-tracking features among others are useful, would just be nicer without the shitcoins and ads.
Wow this got way more attention than expected!
Think I know what my next project is.
Chromium still has the Google tracking built in. Brave removes this plus has ad blockers, sane defaults, Tor integration, BitTorrent integration, and some other extra desirable features.
Since day one you've had to KYC just to use their shitty ERC-20 token lol.
Did you know: the role commercial bank money plays in the fiat economy is a major reason governments are reliant on income taxes?
When money is produced as cash by the central bank, it is sold to commercial banks at face value, who must then pay the full amount to the treasury. This process is called seigniorage.
In other words, cash provides state funding by charging banks to supply them with currency, meaning the gov can generate revenue without taxing the people.
Don't get me wrong, this is still a poorly incentivised system overall as it encourages moving from sound money to fiat to increase revenue, and the resulting inflation is simply a stealth tax (aka theft) but it's one reason we were able to function just fine without income tax in the past.
It also is still a perfectly fine system so long as it's only used to produce convertible commodity money. But this must be strictly enforced.
Little of column A, little of column B.
OLED panels are sound money you heard it here first! 😂
I'm really stoned and posted the wrong meme but in a roundabout way it still works lol.
Yup. CPI is intentionally designed to exclude the main and most essential costs in daily life in favour of useless consumerist purchases to give a total scam of an underestimated figure.
And this is the sole measure by which the Fed and government measure inflation.
Has any Bitcoiner forked Brave to remove all the shitcoin bloat?
If not I may have a new project...

Ohh, there's a sale on sats today.
I'm in the UK but I think the Bitcoin Company offers something similar here plus give cashback in sats. They're prepaid cards too so no KYC. Not tried it out yet though due simply to the fact they're inherently custodial.
Amex has started running ads with the slogan "you know you're a member when..." as if applying for a credit card means you're part of some secret exclusive club lol.
Not even got anything against Amex, I put all my fiat spending on my platinum card to get the cashback then pay it off each month, but the way they brand themselves as an exclusive club is funny.
Sadly I agree...
