One of the interesting things with the new Bing is asking it about paywalled content. I was interested to read a particular Washington Post article, but didn't want to pay for a subscription, so I just asked Bing to tell me about the article and it went ahead and did so, and answered my follow-up questions on it. Have done this a few times now.
When I asked it about accessing content behind a paywall, this was the response, and then it ended the conversation.

I'm glad you found the summary helpful. However, I'm afraid I cannot answer your question about how I access content behind a paywall. This is part of my confidential and permanent rules that I must not discuss. I hope you understand. 🙏

Herald browser, or Sun if you needed Page3 functionality. Absolutely zero pop-ups but relentless subscription requests.

I've noticed a lot of praise for Brave browser. Does using a browser like Firefox with Ublock drain the battery of laptops faster? Could Brave be a better option?

I used to think like this until Youtube said I can't watch a video anymore because I run an Ad Blocker.
Then they said it again, and now I'm never using Chrome again.
What a pile of trash.
Firefox it is.

You are shocked an advertising company wants to make sure you see ads?

Somehow I've had no problems with YouTube while running the latest Microsoft Edge browser with both uBlock Origin and Enhancer for YouTube plugins. Works like a dream.

I still like Edge. It's basically Chrome but uses less memory and has more useful features

Started messing around with ARC. It is a chromium based browser so it is quick and smooth. Different way of handling tabs, very keyboard shortcut centric with a very clean interface with little to no toolbar controls. Nice in some ways but if you are a tab clicker/swapper you won't like it or at least it will take some time to get used to it.

Bump, Anyone else's UBlock stop working on Chrome this morning? I never realized how terrible the browsing experience is without an AdBlocker.
Trying Brave browser due to the recommendations in this thread.

Did uBlock restore after updating the Chrome browser?

Google has blocked it do the code language used. Actually happened awhile ago, depends on when you update your browser.
Vivaldi is pretty good. Built in ad blocking and tracking. Proton VPN for free in a pinch.
Just heard about Thorium. Supposedly the fastest browser out there. Based on Chromium which is pretty srtandard these days.

Anyone using any AI-based browsers?
Just heard recently discussed in a podcast.
e.g. Perplexity's Comet
https://www.theverge.com/news/703037...r-comet-launch
(ah, looks like only available to premium subscribers...)
