tech hot take: I don't understand how anyone feels safe using one of the web browser forks or non-mainstream linux distros. I barely trust big companies to be able to do this stuff securely, there's no way some individuals or small orgs are better suited to the task.

web browsers have access to an incredible amount of digital activity, and if you ever sign into your email that's essentially a path to take over your life. operating systems are even worse! the last thing I want is code with that level of access to be accepting PRs without established oversight.

even when folks maintaining these projects have good intentions, the security aspect of building and distributing things is terrifying, there's so many highly capable attacks these days. I don't trust that every project can defend against that.
