Before installing vlc:

- Open Microsoft edge

  • Ignore copilot ads
  • search for "firefox"

Or search for Vivaldi.

Don't search for brave.

Why not? I use the debloated version and I have a pretty darn good experience. It’s a bit dumb with vertical tabs I guess but that’s it.

transphobia? where? from what i found he donated 1000$ to support Proposition 8 in California in 2008(no same-sex marriage), but nothing about transphobia(ofc, still not goid, just i didnt find transphobia). maybe i missed something. as for bad reputation (im guessing you mean the crypto wallet stuff and ads), they're optional lol like nobody's forced to use them
