Previous final release was afaik back in 2020 called LMDE (Linux Mint Debian Edition) 4 „Debbie“. So this is 2 years of work release.

Needs

• FireOS v7.2.7.3 or lower
• Fire TV Stick 3rd Gen.
• Hard brick possible

Nutshell

• Chrome 99 removed Tab Grid View on Android, the flag is only leftover that does not work anymore.
• People outcry because Chromium changed that and Brave followed it.
• Workaround, downgrade to v104 on GitHub and that is it.

I say 30 years ... who says less...

Firefox 98.0.1 version is only concerned with removing Yandex search for users in Belarus, Kazakhstan, Russia, and Turkey, and switching them all to Google by default.

Original finding by vc.ru

• vc.ru based on a previous finding.
• Official page regarding search engine removal

Personal comment

• They could just make a deal with SearX which would help Mozilla and SearX but instead they go back as fallback to Google search because they still have a deal with Google. The ironic part is that most Firefox users do not want Google.
• The Bugzilla moderator could just changed and fixed the issue ticket name and make it clear what this is about but they did nothing here. I do not blame the creator of this particular issue ticket but the moderator who did not corrected it, which still misleads people.
• I also find it hypocritical that they, because of Ukraine War now pretend they give lots of f#s about the search engines and the involvement. That Yandex, Google etc are controversial search engine providers is known way before Ukraine. I understand that you want to show sympathies but this is not the correct way to approach and communicate things. The whole story is basically about taking away control from the users, I do not judge users or would restrict them from using xyz search engine but they see it different.

Due to the recent ~~DuckDuckGo~~ TrustTrustLost scandal we might see Brave Search sooner going out of Beta and as default search engine than expected.

I doubt this statement a lot, I think nothing ever will be not censored + moderated at some point. If not by choice then forced by the government. For me this sounds more like marketing since TrustTrustLost lost all credibility now he might uses this for his advantages to promote Brave Search.

Censoring per-see is not bad to hide stuff like CP, nazi stuff etc. The question is how transparent is it and does it censor legitimate stuff or not, I highly doubt a engine without moderation will ever work because people tend to abuse everything to troll, for their propaganda purposes etc. I see this first class in basically every Telegram channel nazi propaganda spread by same people across all channels and if you report it nothing happens.

For me moderation is fundamental, nothing works without it.

I also like to add that Bing itself got busted censoring, Bing is owned by Microsoft and as long as Brave Search crawls results from Bing the entire claim from Eich is baseless because this is how Microsoft / Bing handles things. We can continue the discussion when Brave is out of Beta and do not depend on others anymore and check if they actually hold the claim or not, until then there is not much further to discuss that brings the discussion a step forward.

Censorship or general discussion regarding this is a society and politician thing and therefore do not belong into this community unless it reflect Brave directly.

- Locked because people want to talk off-topic, wrong community to do this. I only gave an example when censorship makes sense but people tend to shit on the actual topic and now trying to argue everything down. Go into politician community, not mine if you want to talk about society + political topics. Thanks. -

I feel sorry for people who actually wanted to discuss the topic/news, but I lock threads before the tend to go out of control. I do not want to put more mental stress on me with political discussions, please respect that. Sorry.

Last time I used LimeWire was ... lemme check ... never.
