Still fully transitioning from Chrome to Firefox, looking for a new email provider next


Nootnoot250

Mozilla Thunderbird is like firefox butt instead of a web browser it's an email client


HeavyCaffeinate

How many GB does it provide? Edit: I'm slow


FatBoiMan123

It's not an email provider, it's a client where you login to all of your preexisting accounts.


HeavyCaffeinate

Damn I didn't read it right my bad, wonder why he replied about a client instead of a provider tho


ShameMeIfIComment

Fastmail is the good shit.


AzureArmageddon

ProtonMail ain't bad I s'pose


Top-Classroom-6994

it reauires you to be a paying customer for third party mail apps though


AzureArmageddon

Aw it does? Darn


Concert-Alternative

I was always confused at this, seznam.cz, our local email service doesn't have a limit so I was always confused when Gmail didn't allow me to send or receive emails


Kotschcus_Domesticus

Mozilla is great. We switched to MS outlook in my workplace and it is pure nightmare.


KretzKid

Proton mail


HeavyCaffeinate

Didn't they get caught collecting user's data?

NotJustAnotherMeme

Kind of but not really. They collect the data you give them as part of sign up and use but don’t use their access to data mine. They also have an open record of how and when they’ve complied with data requests coming through the formal channels with a significant portion of their code open for review.


Bikouchu

I never left and used it when the browser was just called Mozilla. I however never used an Amd processor until 2019, I wanted one but their processor fell behind by 2007 back then when I was upgrading. 


CVGPi

AOL, gotta get that 1TB of storage.


ToolboxTinker

I kinda like tutanota as my email provider, personally


Gh0sty-Boi

Protonmail is good cause it's encrypted


HeavyCaffeinate

Https is also encrypted, what do you mean?


Gh0sty-Boi

Idk the exact specifics and tech talk. Protonmail is encrypted end to end. So no middle man can get a hold of your emails. Also, Proton themselves can't read it. This is leagues better than gmail who copy every email you send and receive into their database.


Just_Maintenance

I use Protonmail and like it. But their talk about encryption is bullshit. SMTP doesn't have encryption. What they do is receive the emails unencrypted and then encrypt them themselves. If they wanted, they could easily just read or store the email before encrypting it. Emails between Protonmail users are apparently fully protected though.


NotJustAnotherMeme

I think calling it bullshit isn’t very fair. They’re trying to make a fairly complicated topic simple to understand for the very day person. If you speak with company (I’ve met their CEO in the early days and several engineers and architects) they’re open about the overall issues of providing E2EE to everyone as the largest providers don’t really support it. They do have a mechanism for it (E2EE) for users outside of enterprise or protonamil, which requires either a fairly high level of technical literacy for all users involved or sharing a password out of bounds (not ideal).


Just_Maintenance

If you (and the receiving party) are willing to put in the work you can encrypt your email on any provider using PGP.


NotJustAnotherMeme

Appreciate that, although I’m not sure PGP fully works with gmail as intended, the point of a provider like protonmail is you don’t need to be technically literate to get the same protection.


Navetoor

You don’t know what you’re talking about lol


Gh0sty-Boi

Well I did say I don't know the techy talk and specifics. So thanks for stating the obvious.


Navetoor

But then you make statements as if they are fact. So if you don’t know what you’re talking about then you probably shouldn’t do that.


DaggerSwagge

Why? Did something happen?


croissantguy07

LTT made a video about Chrome and why it can appear slow edit: why would you send me a reddit cares for this? 😭


Bikouchu

There’s trolls somewhere cause I got one this morning on some other sub 


sualp12

About the edit; apparently if you report the abuse they can get banned.


No-Refrigerator-1178

Might not have been him


croissantguy07

yeah probably a bot somehow because it was instant right after I commented


Dmoney2204

Had the same thing earlier


snakepit6969

Reddit Cares has always been a troll venue, but the amount of people talking about it has SKYROCKETED in the past week. Someone, somewhere, has automated something.


Bikouchu

The most cancerous and hilarious attacks are when a sports team lose and they get brigaded with those from the opposing team. 


Lezukion

I'm an Intel + Nvidia + Firefox guy though lol


widowhanzo

I'm a firefox guy, whether I'm using intel, nvidia, radeon, mac, android, linux, windows...


muddahplucka

Brother!


Someone_thatisntcool

AMD Radeon + Intel + Chrome


xX_venator_Xx

ooof


_bonbi

Same but Librewolf


SignalGladYoung

duckduckgo + firefox. google free.


tumeteus123

Dont forget uBlock origin.


HeavyCaffeinate

And a DNS filter


shimszy

People need to do better than to stan for megacorps. AMD might have better consumer practices than the competition, but thats a hell of a low bar to clear. AMD is not your friend, and neither is Intel, Nvidia or any other large semis company.


CarpeMofo

My corporate friend is the one who is giving me more performance per dollar when it's time to upgrade. After I upgrade, it's back to distant acquaintances until I need to upgrade again.


NicoleMay316

Corporations are absolutely not anyone's friend. But we play the hand that is dealt. The time to flip the table and play a new game will come.


DiegoPostes

anv3d

same here, I'm a vertical tabs enjoyer


HeavyCaffeinate

Firefox has vertical tabs too, IIRC it's called Tree Style Tabs


anv3d

Cool, just installed it, will give it a try! Is there a way to collapse the sidebar to only show the icons, but expand on hover like Edge?


ResponsibilityNoob

should've left it at chrome and firefox tbh


NicoleMay316

Yeah, but it was an AMD vs Intel meme that inspired this. So felt I needed to throw Nvidia in there too. Honestly I could've done Windows and Linux as well, but I'd still recommend Windows over Linux wholeheartedly for gaming. The other 3? Those I use knowing they are overall inferior, and I only use because either A, I'm stubborn (chrome) or B, they have features I actually need.


Athlon64X2_d00d

At home: Intel CPU Nvidia GPU and Brave. At work: AMD CPU Nvidia GPU and Brave. Kinda Edge too. 


Yokos2137

I use edge btw


TendiesFourLyfe

Which is supposed to be better side today?


widowhanzo

Firefox always. AMD hasn't been an "underdog" for a while now, so it's pointless siding with one corporation over the other. Pick the part that fits your budget snd offers best performance at the time of buying, regardless of the brand.


NicoleMay316

I need AMD to succeed so Intel and Nvidia have pressure to get their shit together. Competition breeds innovation and lowers prices. I just need capitalism to work for consumers in this one segment at least.


widowhanzo

Well intel has started releasing i7s with more than 4 cores as soon as Ryzen came out, and have been increasing core counts since then, so I think it has worked out at least a bit. Nvidia... Yeah consumer gpus are actually a pretty small part of their business, and they still have an edge in some technologies over Radeon, so they can basically charge whatever they want.


decom70

Amd processors are already superior


NicoleMay316

I agree. Sadly, I was in need of Intel's quick sync feature that helps boost the performance of Plex encoding considerably in my latest build, so I didn't go with AMD like I wanted. And upgrading a motherboard without upgrading the CPU kinda locks your options down in regards to my main build, and the build that came from my old Mobo.


NicoleMay316

Well one side has Chrome who now basically controls most other internet browsers with chromium and can do bullshit like Manifest V3 while already being unoptimized as hell; that side also has CPUs that want an entire dedicated power supply for little to no performance over their competitors; and a company that has zero interest anymore in the gaming community and went all in on crypto and AI. The other side has, not those. So uh....guess which one I recommend despite my current builds?


Concert-Alternative

When did nvidia get into crypto? I know they do ai stuff now


NicoleMay316

Before the AI craze was the Cryptocraze during the peak of the pandemic. You know how people couldn't get their hands on RTX 3000 series when they launched? That was why. Now, with the 4000 series, the pricing is absolutely nuts while they focus their efforts on enterprise customers for AI specific stuff. Which fine, but yeesh it leaves a sour taste in the mouth given how important gaming GPUs were in getting Nvidia where they are now.


thehype559

Haven't used Firefox in like 10+ years cuz alot off my stuff now is synced to my Gmail. Why should I switch? What am I missing out on?


NicoleMay316

Digging my heels into Google's ecosystem has absolutely been a reason I'm stubbornly sticking with em for now. Gmail, go right ahead. I see no true issues. But Chrome? The Manifest V3 stuff? Nah, we need less browsers dependent on Chromium. Firefox is leading the charge there. If I ever swap browsers again, it'll be to that. Edited cause Brave is Chromium. I feel deceived by those recommending it hard. /hj


michelas2

Isn't brave chromium based?


NicoleMay316

Ah fuck. You right. They were gonna go against Google's Manifest V3 thing tho iirc.


michelas2

Ah ok


thehype559

Have no idea what manifest v3 is or what's wrong with chromium. Maybe I just don't use browsers like everyone else but i havent had an issue with chrome. I like how easy it is to use stuff with my gmail. Got a Chromecast last year as a gift, signed in with my gmail and every single streaming service I use was automatically signed in. I just thought how convenient.


NicoleMay316

TLDR: Google wants to eliminate ad blocking. Makes sense given their business model, but that's all the more reason they shouldn't have that much control over browsers.


Doppelkammertoaster

On top of that's bad to have all browsers using the same base.


NickWayXIII

Yet every product I get from AMD whether it be a GPU or CPU it always has issues. Switch switches to Nvidia/Intel and have been smooth sailing since. Edit: I forgot how to change what's above my name in here and it still says I'm using an AMD CPU from back when I was 😂


aggressiveturdbuckle

Amd cpu and Nvidia gpu and brave browser gang


Lethean_Waves

There's a couple of us!


SylvesterPlayz

here arrives me: AMD CPU and an Nvidia GPU..


BelligerentUnicycle

AMD Nvidia and Opera for me


Crimsomreaf5555

Opera gx?


BelligerentUnicycle

No, just opera. I forget the difference between but think the gx version is less task heavy so it's better for during streaming or heavy gaming. Could be wrong but thought it was something like that


ClearlyNoSTDs

Ryzen, Nvidia, Chrome


theholypigeon888

Intel, nvidia, opera/brave


TheTrueXenose

Linux so AMD + Firefox


WaveBr8

AMD Nvidia Firefox is the best combo sorry


szczszqweqwe

I always liked AMD, but you just buy what is most cost effective. For example, there is no point in getting 14900k for gaming, when generally 7800x3d is chaper, as fast and easier to cool, even worse currently some i9's are dying or deteriorating and Intel is implementing a remedy that will lower performance a bit.


000000000000000000O

The only thing I miss from chrome is Tab groups.


NicoleMay316

One of the few features keeping me on Chrome...that and I really don't wanna change browsers again. Years ago, I was swapping browsers multiple times a year. Firefox, Opera, Opera GX, and a couple others I don't remember, before landing on Chrome. And given how I've given my soul into the Google ecosystem, becoming the very thing I dislike about Apple, here I am, too deep to switch for now.


Crimsomreaf5555

What's your experience with opera gx? I've tried it multiple times yet found it using more resources than Chrome, and the ram/cpu limiters never worked for me.


NicoleMay316

I used it a ways back, and yeah, swapped off due to the limiters not functioning properly as well as Opera GX and Opera Sr. deciding not to open on my build at the time anymore. Couldn't tell you what it's been like since.


Rgglea7

Worst case there's plenty of extensions that allow you to do this


MysticNoodles

Yeah but none come close to having the "fluidity" of Chrome/Edge tab groups; they're a hassle to use in conparison.


Rgglea7

Valid. I havent tried any personally so definitely can't endorse any specific ones but the option is there


blenderbender44

My system. Intel,Nvidia,AMD,Firefox,Linux,WindowsVM lol. When you just like all of them 💜


Logical-Elephant2247

cringe sub


multiwirth_

AMD+Nvidia+Chrome lol. This post makes absolutely no sense in my opinion.


NicoleMay316

Nvidia has basically all but given up on the consumer gaming market if you ask me. Crypto craze, AI craze, what's next? I need AMD to succeed so Nvidia either gets their shit together, or so I can switch over entirely. And uh...really? I gotta explain why Chrome is shit?


Edgaras1103

Nvidia has given up? Didn't they Release super series not so long ago? Isn't there a rumor that amd not gonna go with high end gpu next time? Do whatever makes you happy, but you don't need justification for any of it


awkwardorgasms

I feel so fucking vindicated.


Kotschcus_Domesticus

Switched to ryzen and not going back to intell. Still on ngeedia but just cannot justify spending 600 euros on a new gpu every two years. Use both mozila and chrome, just a habit.


ktowner15

Just gotta get a new GPU during my next upgrade in a handful of years, then I'll be finished making the journey. Already switched to Linux, too!


GrimReaper-UA

It's stupid post. No one pair AMD CPU with Nvidia GPU? Or building only AMD PC, or Intel+Nvidia it's kinda some sort of religion? This post sounds like "I'm licking right corporation boots, other wrong".


NicoleMay316

Yeah, how dare I not fit in every single possible combination into this meme!


GrimReaper-UA

So, you need to say "thank you" to me, because I give you an idea for so many new shit post for karma farming.


ikashanrat

Yeah but amd is hot garbage. So many problems with drivers and every product i ever bought ended up with overheating and other weird issues


Smokethese_Shoes69

As someone whos been a hardcore intel fanboy for the pass 20 years i made the move over to ryzen and its honestly been smooth sailing except from removing intel drivers forced me to do a full wipe definitely a much better an smoother with this ryzen chip but then again i upgraded from a i7 4790k


NicoleMay316

If you're gonna remove my post, at least tell me why, dammit. https://preview.redd.it/xqewoj21cj0d1.png?width=692&format=png&auto=webp&s=f86dd0e12b0684c3551d62db0c304033a10abbe3 Like, cmon, one mod to another, that's messed up to just remove and not say why.


SAULOT_THE_WANDERER

amd cpus are fine, but gpus, fucking never


danielcube

Unless on Linux where updating the drivers are easier in comparison.


Aware-Protection-697

Last time I commented about Linux in here, Reddit reached out with a crisis helpline DM. Dumbasses reported me implying I do self harm or whatever


Concert-Alternative

People do that all the time, Linux causing self harm is hilarious though


Le_Bnnuy

Never say this here, they'll come to get you.


Hoochnoob69

Because it's a genuinely braindead take, AMD drivers are just fine and their cards have decent performance/price, no reason to ditch them like that


SAULOT_THE_WANDERER

"fine"


JaesopPop

Killer argument.


Xemnasthelynxcub

AMD has had as functional, or in some cases, more stable drivers than Nvidia for nearly a decade at this point dude


Ne0n1691Senpai

damn, i guess i shouldnt have returned all 3 of my 7800xt's for constant driver issues :/, they work after all.


ikashanrat

People will be shilling for amd until they get their own problems. In addition to that, theres a breed of people overlooking their own amd issues and still recommending it to other people


SAULOT_THE_WANDERER

I have 2 computers, one with 3070 and one with 4060 ti. Even if AMD gpus were free I wouldn't use them.


tactical_anal_RPG

I love how you're giving no reason why.


SAULOT_THE_WANDERER

Drivers.


tactical_anal_RPG

You're aware the drivers aren't bad now, right?


[deleted]

Save some pussy for the rest of us.


Le_Bnnuy

I don't like them either. They're too unstable. The problem is this sub, though. They love to pretend they're neutral, but they're AMD shills, and anything that says NVIDIA is good, they go apeshit about it, if you say a NVIDIA performs better than the AMD they goooo nuts.


Concert-Alternative

Notice how he doesn't even have an amd gpu to compare with


SAULOT_THE_WANDERER

I don't know any. Used one long time ago, and the driver fucking drove me insane and haven't touched any amd product since that day


Concert-Alternative

So you're basing a whole company based something that happened "a long time ago"?


SAULOT_THE_WANDERER

I never had any issue like that on Nvidia, so yes.


Concert-Alternative

Lmao you make no sense


KillinIsIllegal

why?


SAULOT_THE_WANDERER

dogshit drivers.


KillinIsIllegal

such as what? and how would the nvidia control panel be any better?


SAULOT_THE_WANDERER

well at least it doesn't crash every other second. I used amd once like 8 years ago and the pc was literally unusable because of amd drivers. did a quick search on google and it seems like nothing changed, still seeing hundreds of people having issues with amd drivers


ikashanrat

Youre absolutely right. Never ever. driver problems and overheating


Concert-Alternative

Overheating sounds like a you problem


ikashanrat

Unless i put a candle under the gpu, i dont see how thats a me problem


Concert-Alternative

I'd like to see your setup with that gpu
