Google Chrome For Trisquel
Thanks.
I understand now.
I think there's a book called Chrome's Myths which a lot bought thinking it was for real... And there you are, using Chrome like if it were good.
I'm not. My link suggests that Firefox is actually faster.
I am a member!
How about qupzilla http://www.qupzilla.com/, it is fast, it uses webkit, has an integrated adblock and it is libre. Or this https://iridiumbrowser.de/?
Try the Libre games e.g. freedoom is rather good and Wyrmsun is like warcraft 2. Maybe some of your friends like these games too.
i have an freedom to use what i want and play what i want
Sure. And we have the freedom to consider that software should all be free, that proprietary software harms users, that DRMs in Chrome or Steam are evil. As a a community built around those values, we have as the freedom edict guidelines prohibiting the support or recommendation for proprietary software on this forum: https://trisquel.info/en/wiki/trisquel-community-guidelines
This forum is not a place to recommend Chrome and Steam.
The troll didn't recommended it.
MARKED AS FREE OF SPEECH ISSUE.
>>This forum is not a place to recommend Chrome and Steam.
I did not recommend chrome or steam. I read the guidelines thoroughly beforehand. I just asked if Chrome was ok. And for steam, i was just said i had an account. this was way before i even knew that the Free Software Foundation even existed.
I didn't know about Jupiter Broadcasting, could you tell me which podcast it is?
Of course you have the freedom to do what you want, no one told you otherwise.
But don't mistake this as freedom:
I play, but I make sure I don't get played in the process.
It's like in chess, you have poisoned pawns, or any other form of distraction/feint in most sports.
You think you're eating that steak

I still think bluezo's messages should not be hidden.
Downvoted maybe, but not hidden.
Nothing should be hidden unless it's real spam in the sense of "buy viagra" or racist /violent stuff.
The way this forum works at the moment puts its own values ad absurdum.
Does the trisquel community want to be taken seriously as a gathering place for freedom lovers?
Many people here believe that software should be free, even art;
free code, free culture... but if somebody has an opinion we disagree with, then we just hide it?
I really urge the mods here to change that.
One of the rules of this forum is to not recommend proprietary software.
If a post is breaking the rules, it should be downvoted.
If a post isn't breaking the rules, it shouldn't.
bluezo only recommended non-free software in one of his posts on this thread-
The other two were just him stating his dissenting opinion.
Yeah that's right.
If someone recommends non-free software or breaks the community guidelines in any other way, i understand that he gets downvoted.
Everything else is just bullshit.
I'm a diffrent person now. I like free software. I believe it liberates us from the evils like Microsoft and Apple. Nobody deserves to be monitored (spied on). This is why the FSF existed
I'd love for someone to take the effort in checking Chromium and making it more freedom friendly. Of course, this has been an issue for like 3 years now and people would rather spend time on this site telling you that you are wrong and this is evil and that is evil instead of taking the time to fix this!
Are you aware of the Iridium Browser, which is a fork of Chromium?
I'll give it a try, after all, i'm in a place that is 100% free software, i might as well try it out on the holidays.
Installing now
I'm trying out Iridium now and it seems that they boast about not using Google for DNS lookups but instead take you to their own page. Does this browser fix what the free software deems as bad? Aka removing code that doesn't have a license (or is vague) and blobs?
Theoretically though if they license unlicensed code under a free license (i.e. by having a file ssay the entire programme is licensed under the free license) it makes the software free - with those freeing them now at the mercy of Google and American courts.
Or am I wrong?
There apparently are more subtle problems than missing missing license notices. See the long list of "Blocked on" bugs on https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=28291
i done the same using Chrome APk
