@aral Oh I've been meaning to ask, do you know if anyone has ported Better to any browsers supported on Linux?
@harriskenny Hey Harris, let me know if this helps you: https://ar.al/2018/07/17/enabling-better-blocker-in-gnome-web/
@aral @harriskenny How about using Beaker for http browsing as well instead of Gnome?
Re: Beaker
I'm not a security expert but I'd be wary about heavily using a browser on HTTPS sites that's so early in development
Is this concern uninformed or unfair?
@harriskenny @demirhere It’s based on Chromium so you shouldn’t have to worry about its TLS implementation. The DAT protocol itself is also by some of the best minds in our field. Also, the folks working on Beaker and DAT are doing it for the right reasons. It’s not some VC or ICO-backed libertarian get rich quick scheme :)
@aral Sorry I missed your blog post, I should have looked more for it
This is really great, thank you! I appreciate the different ways you've made Better available
(I'm a long-time uBlock user, plus a few other add-ons like Privacy Badger and NoScript)
I also switched to Pop!_OS, similarly attracted to what they did with it (and I now work for System76 full-time!)
@stringbean it's a stretching me too heh
