• So far this is the only discussion about its privacy …

• I’m currently using it as a daily driver on PC ( switched from Mercury browser ) and even though it’s still in Alpha , it works fine and I didn’t face any problems with it

The fact that all of these softwares are owned by one company is creepy , regardless of Israel

Not that bad though

I’m not sure but maybe they use specific programs that aren’t available on Linux and the alternatives aren’t enough ( or even don’t exist )

On desktop I use Mercury Browser - a Firefox fork - but I’m not sure how " privacy focused " it is other than that it’s Firefox based

On Android I use Brave Browser , because it meets my needs , while it was good compared to other browsers in privacy tests , I still won’t recommend it 100% for privacy for the following reason ( unless you’re ok with changing some settings to make it more private ) :

If you care about your privacy , you can read this browser check series for both desktop and mobile ( in German , you might need a translator ) by security expert Kuketz , the rest of the browsers are linked in the same page

I know, but won’t I need to download the models in the app in order to run it locally ?

The examples I know are officially published by their orginial developers

Sure , indeed there are some foss app that are the same as you described

I’m indeed open to the idea if it’s locally hosted but ollama isn’t available in my country… I’ll search if there’s a LLM that isn’t an ollama fork

Unfortunately it won’t work , everybody I know run apps that isn’t available on Linux. … I know alternatives exist but it’s not enough for everybody , especially college students who are training on important apps in their feilds.

If so , then I feel at home in Linux

I know bash but what is fish ?

I actually use it

You mean AI ? I rarely use it

afaik there’s no one… The best you can do is to use the web instead of the app , better with Firefox + Ublock

• Open source community
• The diversity in Linux distributions
• Trying something different from Windows
• Ubuntu interested me when I read about it a long time ago in the computer school textbook, although I didn’t try it in practice back then
• Experiencing Windows 11 on my father’s computer … It was a little disgusting, especially when it’s not activated

-Nearly 2 years when the warranty period ends , then I can go full-time to Linux

I actually read all the comments, and I’m thankful to everybody here for answering

Yes , I tested it on Ubuntu mate and Mint mate , but I didn’t like it and honestly don’t want something Windows-like , one of the reasons why I’m thinking about moving to Linux - when it’s possible - is to try something new and far from windows , I don’t mind some similarities, of course, but Mate is more similar than I want

I read it NASA at first
