It looks like it will come with Version 1.91. Now, You can only get it over the Nightly Branch if I understand it correct.

When I read what all goes out of the Browser in this Origin Version, I would welcome it. The most of it, I don't really like at all and is the Reason why I have Vivaldi.

I mean Brave as a Browser is fine. but the Stuff they have pressed in ... I didn't and don't like that Stuff. With this Origin Version it seems kicked out. As Compensation, You have to pay. But on Linux it seems to be for free - but Donations are welcome.

It sounds interesting for me. I will see how it will look like and how Tests will be.

As a Brave user this is very interesting news.

Origin works and copies many preferences from the usual Brave, but It does not carry forward the New Tab page.

Speedometer rates it as 10% faster on my system. (Only 1 indicator, but a positive one).

And it is free for Linux, so give it a try.

Are you sure? I just tested on Live boot and new tab page is fully functional.

Yes, but you cannot import from the daily version. Many things are imported, this is not.

Ahhhhhhhhhh gotcha understood :zany_face:. I have a couple of favorite websites on the tab page but I'll be more than happy to manually add them back.

I'll be IMMEDIATELY upgrading to Origen once it's fully out of nightly.

This is some of the best news this week! :+1:

I've never liked Brave and this is worth a read:

Whilst it is free to users of GNU/Linux, Windows users are subsidising it with a one off payment of $60!

This article hits many hard truths and is very accurate in its portrayal of Brave Browser.

Can't wait for Ladybird to be released. Ironically, some volunteer devs have apparently forked it for Windows which is not what the main dev intended, which is for GNU/Linux.

Release date: June 4th

Origin or Ladybird (good news either way)?

Well I have changed my mind on ladybird.

  1. It uses Rust

  2. They used Claude to write 2,000 lines of code over 2 weeks.

I am going to stick with Zen, Chromium and Vivaldi.

Why Chromium?

Using Firefox on client's machine to download Epson printer drivers for the Linux kernel didn't, it just splatters the code on the screen, Chromium downloads the tarball.

Why it's not a good thing ?

The problem is not Rust, the problem is who use Rust, if Linus consider it's a potential complement, I Think he know what he's talking about...

Did he know what he was thinking when he allowed Microsoft to submit code to the kernel? :winking_face_with_tongue:
The problem with Linus is he is a naieve agnostic.

But when it's about Linux You don't think He know what is he talking about ?
