I use brave and think it’s the best browser available, so I’m not arguing against it or anything, but technically it just supports use of the onion protocol, it does not provide the same full suite of protections that the tor browser does

As Brave says themselves:

For users who currently require leakproof privacy, we recommend using the Tor Browser, which provides much stronger and well-tested protection against websites or eavesdroppers using advanced techniques to uncover a true IP address.

Lemmy users try not to correct you challenge (impossible)

good to hear. dodi just officially denied the accusations as well:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Piracy/comments/15ivtzk/dodi_verified_release_on_tg_has_crypto_miner/juy98il/

although he claims integritycheck.exe is a windows process, when clearly it is also the name of that miner I linked above

my guess is the dodi account on torrent galaxy, although verified, could be a fake and is putting in these viruses, or maybe the people commenting saying they got the virus from dodi actually got it from that hogwarts legacy crack which originally had this miner.

either way, I always hope the community will take these sorts of claims seriously and investigate to ensure everyone’s safety

it’s not a false positive people are finding. it’s a bitcoin miner called integritycheck.exe

https://www.reddit.com/r/Piracy/comments/15itrip/1337x_admins_allowing_bg3_torrent_with_bitcoin/juxiobs/

it seems like half the people I see who downloaded it say they got a tojan, and half didn’t. Could it possibly be triggering only for certain people? perhaps if their specs are good enough for bitcoin mining or not? or maybe just at random? just spitballing here

There are claims from comments on torrent galaxy that dodis release has the same bitcoin miner:

I hope someone can get to the bottom of this

people usually look where they are going

agreed. imo YouTube has one of the best algorithms out of any social media site. maybe it’s just because I’ve had an account for over 10 years, but it always suggests great videos

is this thread really 2 years old?

The Firefox circlejerk. Anytime something remotely related to the internet was brought up there would be 700 comments about how much better Firefox is. I swear, ever since Google announced killing manifest v2 (which ofc isn’t good) half the posts on reddit have been people shilling Firefox.

Opinions about Firefox aside, I hope people can agree the endless circlejerk was getting annoying

Edit: Judging by the speedy downvotes, looks like the Firefox fanatics are on Lemmy too. What a shame, I hate seeing their constant ads.

Just don’t use a VPN on their site or they will lock your account for days pending review for “suspicious activity”

I stopped using them after that

Bitwarden only autofills if the page’s URL is the same as the account in your vault. So it actually helps you make sure that you aren’t putting your info into a phishing site or something

although, I’m pretty sure autofill is disabled by default anyway?

I haven’t seen anyone mention this yet, but the biggest feature for me would be an automatic redirect to your current instance if you click on a fedi link to another instance

It’s annoying when someone links a post from another instance, and I click the link but I can’t interact since I’m not logged in on that URL

Basically, if you’re on one instance and click on a link to a post from another instance, it should open that post on your current instance. The desktop version of Lemmy needs this too.

This is really my biggest point of contention with the fediverse atm. Needs to be easier to interact across instances without copying, pasting, editing, or typing in URLs

I like lemmings, it’s fun and quirky but not too over the top

I reenact that scene from Captain America

I like open board, but I wish it had better text prediction. I would love a privacy respecting keyboard that predicts what I’m going to say. Years ago I had Microsoft SwiftKey so well trained I usually barely even need to type, just hit the suggestions
