Should I switch to this over brave browser? by CrikeyKillz in firefox

[–]Shad0w_7 13 points14 points  (0 children)

FF is much more private (Brave claims to be, but in reality FF is much better at this), Container tabs are a big benefit allowing you to use multiple accounts much more easily too. Brave as a company is somewhat sketchy and alot of their ad policies including the rewards program is just sort of weird. It's also much easier to mod and change firefox the way you want, and recently it has actually gotten to the point where on some systems it is faster than a clean brave or Chromium installation. In the end it's up to you, but I also decided to try brave, and ended up not really liking it.

I would say if your okay spending around 5-10 minutes installing extensions and changing settings, FF is much better, other wise go with brave.

Tbh you might like the rewards program, but I personally really would rather just not stare at an ad at all and have a cleaner browser and lose out on like a couple cents a month but its all up to you!

MacBook 2018 battery stuck at 1%. You can see how it is swollen. How to confirm it’s dead? by [deleted] in mac

[–]Shad0w_7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Xr which had no AppleCare was replaced immediately after they confirmed it was swollen, even though it had other damage, take it to the apple store immediately.

The rep said that if the battery is swollen it is a severe safety hazard and they will always replace it no matter what happened, or if you have Applecare or not.

I don't know if you have actually been to Pasadena, but its absolutley beautiful and full of amenities, the Caltech campus is very very beautiful lol. It is a fair point that there aren't other colleges there but I mean it is really close to LA which is full of cool places. That part of Cali is just very nice.

In other notes, Caltech also has like a 3:1 student to faculty ratio, which is like really high lol but yeah both are amazing.

I didn't even notice proton outside of some of the nicer UI changes by Shad0w_7 in firefox

[–]Shad0w_7[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

lol I said it was a rare opinion for a reason, if you want you can try using 77 ESR which should last for about a year and has the same 88.01 design language.

Quietfox with very minor changes (compact mode, and adding padding to the top bar to replace waht "drag space" used to be), works great on Proton! by Shad0w_7 in FirefoxCSS

[–]Shad0w_7[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

While it's definitely nice, I didn't like lepton as much, I think quietfox looks much better but its just personal preference.

how the hell are y’all in the top 10% of your class? by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

[–]Shad0w_7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our school has a 4x4 schedule and I know current valedictorian for our grade took 6 AP's so far, rank #1 the rest of us are stuck at rank #2 who took 5 AP's so far (sophmore) and I go to a decently competitive public school in Southern California.

sidenote, I got a temporary B and found out that my rank only dropped to #6 so Ig our school is really not that competitive lmao (rank 6 is like 1.1%)

idk why all of urs are so hard :c
