+1 on that. LibreWolf, use the compartments feature and clean cookies and history every time you close the browser. And you come a long way.

That's my goto browser on desktop and Mull on mobile. No regrets. Keep my bookmarks on Nextcloud and sync via Floccus.

I know those are all real but this sentence is objectively hilarious

reminds me of that one meme making fun of streaming company names like "You can watch it on Pidoo. just sign up for Dupoos. stream it on LippyLopp."

I don't see it, so please do share. Honestly, I'd love to know too. I'm not the type of person that gets easily offended. Heck, my friends and I show our live through incessant reciprocal bullying.

I know it's hard to believe here, but I'm all for laughing at myself, and even share it with my wife to give her some bullying ammo too, haha.

No no, I’m not laughing at you. It’s the names of the services that are cracking me up. You didn’t do anything

Ok. And I apologize. Since English is not my native language, sometimes I still get confused with figure of speech. However, I don't mind people laughing at me, with me or even at my expense. We humans are silly creatures, and life is just too stresses it is, laughing, regardless of the reason, should always be enjoyed.

Having said that, you're exactly right. Floccus does sound funny. I'm going to try it on my kids today, see how that goes. Something along the lines of "go clean all that Floccus" and enjoy the confusion on their faces 😝

No need to apologize haha! You were giving good advice and didn’t do anything funny. It’s just tech names that are funny. I appreciate your attitude fwiw and your English is better than mine, so it not being your first language is not apparent at all

You've done it now. I'm on my way to brag to my boss, lol.
