After the threat of tariffs, I've made a new edition of the guide to help the Buy Canadian movement
(lemmy.world)
There are a few Canada specific Social Media platforms coming up as well. EH Social and Monnett.Social are topping the list.
dunno if i'd be recommending Shift. they're not exactly 100% free and you can essentially get the exact same experience using like Zen or Floorp which are free. Also Shift has zero support for Linux. Also as someone who has used it, it's honestly not a great experience.
Shift feels like a weird recommendation. Nearly all browsers these days are a fork of firefox or chromium. Their website seems notably unforthcoming about what their browser even is. There are plenty of open source forks of firefox and chrome that strip out the vendor spyware, that are also known and reputable. Those would all be a better choice.
Shift doesn't even have a Wikipedia page, nor is it on their list of web browsers. And that list has some really weird ones like iCab, Lynx, and qutebrowser.
You guys aren't wrong, but they are a legitimate company and being the ONLY truly Canadian option I felt they had to be mentioned.
P.s. from my research they are built on top of Chrome.
