if only ublock could stop these Firefox ads

Firefox? dead?! you mean the browser that peaked in user share in 2009 and has even declining ever since?? no! say it ain’t so! surely if I post a few more memes to lemmy it will turn things around

just so you know, Mozilla vpn is just a repackaged mullvad vpn, they’re partnered

good to hear. dodi just officially denied the accusations as well:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Piracy/comments/15ivtzk/dodi_verified_release_on_tg_has_crypto_miner/juy98il/

although he claims integritycheck.exe is a windows process, when clearly it is also the name of that miner I linked above

my guess is the dodi account on torrent galaxy, although verified, could be a fake and is putting in these viruses, or maybe the people commenting saying they got the virus from dodi actually got it from that hogwarts legacy crack which originally had this miner.

either way, I always hope the community will take these sorts of claims seriously and investigate to ensure everyone’s safety

it’s not a false positive people are finding. it’s a bitcoin miner called integritycheck.exe

it seems like half the people I see who downloaded it say they got a tojan, and half didn’t. Could it possibly be triggering only for certain people? perhaps if their specs are good enough for bitcoin mining or not? or maybe just at random? just spitballing here

There are claims from comments on torrent galaxy that dodis release has the same bitcoin miner:

I hope someone can get to the bottom of this

if only adblockers could block these Firefox ads

Every single one of these Brave “scandals” are so irrelevant and meaningless. I was hoping the reddit hive mind wouldn’t be brought over to lemmy, but here we are.

This article, especially after the update from Brave, seems like a huge nothing-burger. Just another excuse for the Firefox Fanatics crowd to rag on Brave and circlejerk each other about how good Firefox is.

The article isn’t even about Brave Browser, and it has nothing to do with user data. The website owner is mad that Brave Search is crawling their site and using data in their “Summarizer” feature. I thought Firefox users were supposed to be against the Google internet monopoly, but apparently when it comes to one of the only companies with their own independent and actually decent search engine, they don’t seem to care anymore because of stupid “Firefox good brave bad” browser wars nonsense.

tech people get annoyed at the weirdest shit…
