    Librewolf, but I’d argue it’s more of a Firefox/web debloater reason. No pocket, no VPN ads. I would have said that the only issue is that it is a pain to update, but they added a windows updater and software repos, so I would almost recommend it over stock firefox for normies.

    And I use tor to search stuff that contains sensitive data like my location… Or when a website is blocked

      This is the argument I keep using for why people should use Linux more. The fact you have to run updater software for each piece of software is so stupid. It’s a horrible solution to a poorly designed problem. On Linux I just tell my package manager to update everything and it takes care of it all. There’s no need for the user to be handling all of that, and it also shouldn’t have to update in starting the application because that’s when the user wants to use it, not wait for an update.

      (For reference: it’s the same thing as on your phone where it tells you the number of things that need updated and you just tell it to update whenever you feel like it.)

        Windows has had winget for a while now. While not as good as Linux version, I think it’s fine enough for those who must still use Windows for their gaming. 🤔

          There’s like three package managers for Windows and none of them have gained enough traction to really be considered the de facto.

          Also, Microsoft stole AppGet from its developer and didn’t pay them anything.

          Just FYI, gaming isn’t a reason to stay anymore really. I’ve only had minor issues since switching.

      Jokes on you, cause a lot of alphabet organizations set up entry and exit nodes on Tor so you’re being tracked regardless.
