I'm starting to hate qBittorrent, for some reason it doesn't want me to save anything outside of the C: drive, giving me I/O errors and refusing to download anything, i've already tried running it as admin with no results, and other programs let me download fine to other drives, so i don't see what's the problem, any alternatives to it?

Deluge hasn't given me many problems.

Your drives are either dead, dying or full, never seen this behaviour with qBittorrent and I never download anything to C: drive.

I use 7-zip, but this is not a bad alternative, and for those rare few zipped documents 7-zip gets stupid over, this is pretty good.

I found it actually handles the ancient ACE format well, which I had to use to unzip some ancient Morrowind mods. You have to get a plugin for ACE files, but it's free and from the same source.

I think Pale Moon is dead. Development is in an eternal catch up with major sites. Reddit just updated something and it broke the site on Pale Moon. I love the browser, but I've given up on it.

Switched over to ungoogle-chromium. Does need some tweaks after install, but works fine. Tried Vivaldi, but I have some issues with it. Its great, but they included AliBaba on the startpage after install. Might be compromised.

Arctic Fox is about the only browser left if you still have a 32-bit Mac.

Tried vivaldia, but I'm suspect. Its great, but they included AliBaba on the startpage after install. Might be compromised.

I've tried vivaldi too, The one thing that kills it for me is that their sync is so slow (using syncmarx, and the dev is too joshy to do anything about it)

There's some 32 bit builds of Pale Moon for XP and lower. There's also some 64 bit builds if you're running XP 64.

Vivaldi is great.

Vivaldi is great.

Sure it is, it's just bookmark sync that sucks because of the way it handels the structure

@Null Might want to add a con to that brave browser.

So when you are using the @brave browser and type in "binance[.]us" you end up getting redirected to "binance[.]us/en?ref=35089877" - I see what you did there mates

Looks like something they did to ensure referral codes are tacked on to Binance when you click their ad on the new page tab.

Is there an equivilent version of Privacy.com for Australia? I don't want Centrelink to know how many Jerry cans of fuel I'm sending to my local Aboriginal tribe.

No

Anyone else notice Adnaseum failing to block ads on Youtube? I think Youtube might have updated their ad system to be way harder to block now.

uBlock on Firefox seems to be doing just fine still on YT ads - I know that much.

It's apparently not a very good plugin at a technical level either.

Same here on Brave (both Desktop and Mobile) since like a week or so. Seems like it was a move on YT's part after all.
