Why do people switch from chrome to Brave browser and not to Firefox?

  • It's frustrating that battery capacities are so small that a simple networking utility will noticeably deplete them.

    These cardstock-thin phones with half-day battery lives are bullshit.

    I want a big brick of a phone. My phone and my laptop should use the same battery pack. A phone should last through a long weekend without a charger.

  • I use FF on android, but on my (ancient) desktop, it just runs like shit, while any of the chromium variants "just work".

  • Android. Never noticed a problem with zerotier, but I will admit that I'm usually using a commercial VPN rather than my own zerotier network.

    I've used tailscale, but not enough to confirm or deny battery issues.

    AFAIK, they all use Wireguard, though, so if there is a problem with one, it's likely a problem for all of them.

  • Always-on VPN works well on my device. But I agree, native ad blocking is important.

  • In my area, "Don" is pronounced with the mouth wide, jaw open. Force a smile as you say it, and you should be in the ballpark.

    "Dawn" is pronounced with the lips pursed. Kiss your grandmother on the cheek.

  • I'm going to reject that criticism in this particular case. PiHole is a significantly more complex setup than Tailscale or ZeroTier. While I agree that it is beyond expectations for the "average person", so is PiHole.

    An OpenVPN server on a dynamic IP address is not that far beyond the skillset of the average PiHole user, especially if they are using an open source router with OpenVPN and DDNS preinstalled.

    Tailscale or ZeroTier are well within the capabilities of a PiHole user.

  • Tailscale, zerotier, or any other VPN server on your home network can keep your mobile device on your pihole network regardless of physical location.
