A mate searched for 'Olympic snowboard halfpipe final 2026' using #AI in #BraveBrowser, and it came back with the following:

"The men's snowboard halfpipe final at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milano Cortina took place on Friday, February 13, 2026, at 1:30 p.m. EST (19:30 Milano Cortina time) at the Livigno Snow Park in Valtellina.

The qualification round occurred on Wednesday, February 11, with the top 12 athletes advancing to the final.
Australia’s Scotty James emerged as the standout performer, securing a record-extending fifth Laax Open victory in January 2026, which positioned him as a top contender.
Canada’s Éliot Grondin won the World Cup silver in snowboard cross shortly before the Olympics, adding to the competitive depth.
The final was broadcast live on NBC, Peacock, and USA Network, with re-airings available on Peacock and USA Network.
For viewers, the event was accessible via Peacock, NBC Olympics, and the NBC Sports app, with live streaming available on mobile, tablet, and connected TV devices."

Note the dates and past-tense 🙄

Fucking bullshit machines 🤬

Having stumbled on @zotero I'm hoping it's applicable to my style of research, which is just bookmarks ATM but could do with things like categories, notes and highlighting.

Unfortunately I will have to use Firefox or LibreFox if I want to use their "connectors" but I will try the "save" page too (as I mostly use #BraveBrowser these days).

Firefox should really strip down the browser to the core, make that performant and secure. Maybe even improve extension interfaces and then deliver whatever "AI" nonsense they want through extensions. Would make it so easy to stop having to talk about kill switches and how "hard" those are. Offer people all the slop extensions in the world and see who will download them.

@tante Use #Librewolf or #BraveBrowser instead.

Brave is my favourite, can be hardened very easy and is super smooth in handling.

I am currently testing out stuff.
Someone recommended Brave to me, because it was data friendly and rather secure.

What is the issue with brave ( other than it using AI shit in default)?
I am genuinly asking because i want to be aware of issues that are connected with services i use and if it us something that makes it a no go for me or not.

@torproject Was hoping to see a AArch64 build for the native #Linux version, as well as for the #flatpak on #Flathub. Currently, the only easy way to connect to the #TOR network on #LinuxMobile is using #BraveBrowser or #Carburetor.

While we don't promote non-#FOSS apps, we can salute #Brave for setting up their own #FDroid repository for #BraveBrowser. @brave how about a fully FOSS browser in f-droid.org next? 😉

👍Thanks. Despite all the hate, I cannot say anything negative about #BraveBrowser, it is my Chromium-based browser of choice.

Me: Please don't use Chromium-based browsers, use Firefox instead. Google has way too much control over the web because of Chromium and they'll be sure to leverage that in order to benefit themselves.

Chromium: Hey all, we're getting rid of ad-blockers because it's cutting into our record-breaking revenue! I mean, uh, we're deprecating Manifest V2 for, uh, security. Yeah.

Me: See? Please use Firefox.

Me: ... I hate it here.

Mind you, this still isn't a good excuse to use a Chromium-based browser.

And for all you people using Brave out there, well 🖕 Brave is run by this guy who hates queer people and believes conspiracy theories about Covid, so maybe don't use his shitty browser that's been caught injecting affiliate links.
