Reposting from the Neo-Neocon thread:
While I wasn’t using Firefox (I was using Safari), all the talk about different browsers made me download and try Epic. I found it from a link at Instapundit.
https://www.epicbrowser.com/
Epic claims to be a private browser that blocks tracking. It also has a feature that uses IP proxies which can be turned on and off. It’s available for both Mac and PC. It imported my bookmarks from Safari, but I have to re-enter my name and e-mail before commenting here. Epic deletes that kind of stuff when quitting, along with history, cache, etc.
I’ve only been using it for an hour or so, but it looks interesting so far, and it’s working fine. I didn’t have a problem with Safari, but decided to try Epic out of curiosity. I like it, and will probably make it my default browser.
ADDENDUM: And by the way, there’s a world of difference between boycotting a company for its company policies and company actions—in this case, facilitating Eich’s “resignation”—and threatening a boycott to force a company to get rid of a CEO or any employee for his/her private, personal, non-company and non-performance-related political beliefs. A world of difference, although both are legal.
I think this is the argument in a nutshell. When Christian fundamentalists boycott Disney, for whatever reason, it is because of the company’s policies.
What happened to Eich was a personal attack, and had nothing to do with Mozilla.
Others on this forum have made the same cogent argument but some do not seem to understand their point. Perhaps it is because the Left believes that they own everybody’s thoughts as well as their property. Thought Crime!
