A DECENT BROWSER

The internet is littered from end to end with articles that have titles like "The 10 best privacy browsers of 2026" but then they go on to list 10 browsers that usually include only one good choice (Brave) along with nine complete lemons ranging from poor privacy like Safari or Opera, down to full on blatant spyware like Chrome or Edge.

This clueless list from Nord VPN is a fairly typical except that it includes 13 browsers. Note that it doesn't include Floorp or Mullvad, and it's supposed to be a privacy ranking. Google's controlled puppet browser Firefox is rated as #1? - Yeah right...

Nord VPN really blew their cred posting that bunch of crap! 


I'm not a geek and I'm not being paid to promote anything. I'm looking for simple and effective solutions for myself and my friends. So what do I recommend? 

Keep in mind that I use Linux myself, and have no idea what works best on Windows these days. But if you are using any post Win 7 version of Windows (especially Win 11) you don't actually have any privacy, so your browser is the least of your problems. Same with Apple and even more so with Google.

As well as sticking to using Linux I recommend these three browsers:
 

BRAVE

 

FLOORP

 

 WATERFOX
 

After trying out the Mullvad browser for a couple of weeks I became frustrated with it's slow loading speeds and intermittent bugs, so I decided to use Waterfox for my #3 browser.

 Waterfox is another Firefox fork. It's probably not as private as Floorp or Mullvad, but it works pretty well. It's very similar to regular old Firefox, but doesn't have all the Google's pet puppet browser privacy concerns. 

On Firefox browsers I think this theme looks quite stylish:  Blue Firefox Theme by Sinine (it looks like the Aston Martin turquoise colour)

 Why on earth do I need to use three browsers? My default browser is Brave, which is a chromium fork. Most of the time that works fine and it's the best browser for practical everyday use that I've found.

But some sites just don't work properly on Chromium, I don't know why, and nobody seems to talk about this, but some sites work far better running on Firefox forks. So I switch back and forth between Floorp and Brave, using Floorp for sites that work better on a Firefox based browser.

I don't use Floorp as my default because there are actually more sites that don't work properly on Firefox browsers, and most of the time I want a Chromium browser as my default. So Floorp is my #2.

I actually prefer many aspects of Firefox browsers, especially their menu system, but unfortunately Firefox have sold out to Google and these days they are just a bunch of woketard puppets who can't be trusted an inch. But some of the Firefox forks are much better.

And finally my #3 browser. I know this sounds obsessive, but I have multiple accounts on some platforms, and for some of those I need a third browser to stay logged in on the third account. 

The other thing is that I'm running the Stay Focused app with certain sites (mainly YouTube & Facebook) restricted to a combined total of 15 mins a day. And on Floorp I'm doing the same thing using an app called LeechBlock.

This works well and curtails my last two social media weaknesses, but it means that if I actually really do want to watch a YouTube video, I need a browser that I can watch it on without it shutting down after 15 mins.

MICROSLOP

Microslop has gone viral! - This entire story is hilarious, it couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of globalist oppressors, hopefully this will bring an end to Microslop domination this year. Yes, Linux does work much better.

COMPUTING WAS A DEEP STATE SET UP

At some point in the past few years, the penny dropped and I realised  Apple, Microsoft, and Google, were all set up by the deep state, they were never real businesses – we can use their tools, but they are all playing us.

Steve Jobs and Bill Gates were both actors working for the CIA. Jobs faked his death and Gates was replaced around 2013. As was “Melinda” who is a very obvious tranny. “Bill” probably is as well – they appear to be inverts.

Linux – for years it has seemed like there was something not right about the development and marketing of Linux – by keeping it hard to use and underground for decades it has never posed a real threat to the deep state operating systems. It slowly improved, but was never really sorted out for mass use. 

 

In 2026 that seems to have finally changed, and some distros, like Mint, are now ready for mass use. I always wondered what was holding everything back? Did the deep state infiltrate Linux development too and deliberately hold it back?

Clearly that is not the case any more, as with Windows 11 Microslop have totally lost the plot, and I would happily bet on the reign of Microslop coming to an end now.

All those Windows software updates were not just for copying our data, one day all of those badly designed programs could “unexpectedly” create irritating and time consuming problems in unison – mass distraction at a key moment, and those Trojans were constantly being set up.

Logging us out of accounts and demanding that we SUBMIT (rather than just logging back in) is obvious mind programming. Any site that does that has revealed it’s true intentions. Pay attention to these little signs!

Another trick is spell checkers. Making spell checkers only work properly in US English has forced us to use US spelling – more programming. But it’s not just our computers that are trying to control us, nearly everything on the internet is a distraction, whether intentional or not, and social media is almost all just there to distract us – that is a major part of how we are being controlled.

Microsoft crossed the line after Win 7 – Microsoft is all spyware and I didn’t ever want to use Win 8 on, not for day to day use and certainly not for anything to do with cryptos. What I use these days is Linux Mint 22.

Mint is a good operating system, and like everyone who escapes the clutches of Microslop I will never go back.

Gimp and Krita are pretty good too. It wasn’t a good situation being locked into old software. Photoshop CS6 (2012) was the last version that you can use without having to rent it off Adobe for a monthly fee, which I would never do, so I was using an 11 year old program that I would never update. Same with Windows 7 (2009).
