I'm surprised this wasn't already the case, how did patreon get an exception in the first place? I don't know anything about how apple billing with patreon works but the way this sounds is that patreon's "Legacy Billing" somehow allows creators to get around the 30% fee that is normally standard to anything on apple, and the means to enable/disable this feature is entirely in the hands of individual creators rather than patreon or apple, weird.

You can install them wherever you want.

The main difference is cachy has their own repos that contain packages optimized for more modern cpus, although they are optional they could potentially be a speed improvement.

Having tried both i would say cachyos is probably better for gaming and a bit more noob friendly but only slightly.

Unsupported typically just means they wont provide (technical) support if/when it breaks.

"Rapist granted custody of child" is much more clear and to the point.

"Client" sure seems like an odd word choice here.

I think thats a good position to have, if librewolf works for you i hope it continues to do so.

I used to be more of an open source purist but recent and not so recent events have shifted my thinking, it seems to be one of the four freedoms is regularly taken advantage of by corporations and should be reconsidered. Not that we as individuals shouldnt have those freedoms, but for-profit corps specifically have proven time and time again that they will only take and never give back.

Its just as open source as the other chromium based browsers

https://vivaldi.com/source/

They also have very valid reasons for keeping the features that make the UI unique closed, seeing how many open source projects like ffmpeg get completely taken advantage of its a smart move.

Youll find that parts of brave arent actually open source either, such as their built in AI or the build in crypto wallet.

At some point you gotta ask if its worth having open source purity tests when even the flagship products are shoveling AI and other garbage no one wants into their browser.

Librewolf might pass that purity test for now, but without mozilla librewolf likely would not continue, vivaldi does not have this problem.

Give vivaldi a try, not because brave is bad, but because vivaldi is better in every way.
