Dissenter Browser

Post: # 16841Post TiredRetired »

I have been test running Dissenter Browser by Gab for about a week now.  It is based on open source Chromium so it looks a lot like Chrome Browser, but has NOTHING to do with Google.  

I have been systematically trying to remove us off Big Tech. Being I never use FB or Twit that part was easy.  Next on my hit list is Google.  First I no longer use Google Maps in our Jeep GPS system.  I found Google Maps outstanding to use, loved the download maps feature and ease of use, but it is Google, so bye bye.  We currently use Sygic GPS.  There was a small charge but it is very good with the ability to download maps and not always use data.  

Dissenter Browser is available for MacOS, Linux and Windows.  I have so far downloaded it onto my iMac running BigSur V 11.1 and our WIN10 laptop.  Both versions run fast and great.  No issues.  Looks a lot like Chrome but not Chrome.  

Not a social media buff but thinking of joining Gab, the free speech social media site as they run their own off shore servers and are free of big tech.  They are being censored and banned from Android and Apple as well but they are coming out with an operating system and store for those that must have social media on their phone.  I most certainly do not and can easily live with that.  

All in all I urge all patriots here to swear off everything they can big tech. We are in a war and in todays society the best way to hit our enemies is in their pocket book.  They answer to shareholders and when they see themselves losing 75 million subscribers, it will put a crimp in their colon.  Always focus your attack in your enemies pocketbook.  Easiest and quickest way to destroy them.  Maybe then the Dems will prop them up financially, which means the government will run things for them and we all know how well government incompetence in running businesses can screw things up in no time.  Cheers.

I have never used facebook, twitter, gab or any of the other online big tech stuff.
I have always stayed as far away as possible from anything connected to Google.
I used Mozilla's Firefox, Thunderbird and Sunbird for years.  Now they had to go, so I found a program (SeaMonkey) that has both the browser and the email all in one program, much like Netscape was many years ago.
The browser part is not great, but will do, and the email works fine – so now Mozilla can kiss my ass, and hopefully in the days and weeks ahead, they will get a very large “crimp in their colon.”

I swore off all things google a long time ago. No Chrome, no Android (Although Apple isn't much, if any, better), no "googling" it. I never tell anyone to "Google it". I say, "do a web search". I have also been using Edge and Vivaldi for browsers, but will need to check out Dissenter. I have not used Gab yet, however, I have switched over to WeMe instead of Facebook, and spend a small fortune to bypass Facebook (Oculus) for Virtual Reality. It is worth every penny extra, any inconvenience, any doing without, if I can avoid using big tech. Since Amazon stopped hosting Parlor, which I didn't use, I have been using them less. I am also one of the decision makers within IT on who may be hosting future services for our company. We can't risk having a company, such as AWS (Amazon), shut us down if they don't like something about our company. 

Any you are right...speak with your pocketbook.
