Finally a browser to recommend to people that keep annoying me for support
it'll just get them to annoy you more for support
@@domagojbatinic1526 just say "any and all inconveniences are features" and go radio silent, problem solved
@@domagojbatinic1526 Make it worse every time until they stop asking.
I have a wonderful idea, make the Linux build inside of a Flatpak with zero permissions on the system, then make sure it runs inside of Wine. I am sure it will work great
stop giving them game changing ideas
No, make it a Snap. Go even further beyond.
And then make it require adding their own flatpak source, so it's not on flathub and requires using the terminal to install it.
@@FlergerBergitydershWhat if we go further? The flatpak will contain a whole blown bloated ubuntu container (like distrobox but like a fully separate instance of distrobox with all the runtimes it needs in one flatpak) with a pissandshittium snap which is a wine wrapper for it?
@@user-jv4cy8qi4x and of course it won't show the correct icon out of the box
It needs a child safety feature. Which simply changes the name of the browser too Poopandpee.
Worst web browser?
Come gather round my campfire, children, and let Uncle Terry tell you the story of "Internet Explorer"...
Underrated comment
Yes! In 2007, it really is. I hope it reaches you by 2008; there's this new browser from Google called Chrome and I hope it succeeds where Microsoft couldn't!
(This is obviously a joke.)
yeah but internet explorer is fortunately LONG GONE, and edge just being another chromium based but with lots of ads and shit bloat from microsoft.
IE6
This should have been your April Fools video. Perfect alignment of humor and no one would have really believed that its a real thing....except it is.
so the joke is that it it not a joke?
Now this is a project where you might expect to find furry porn as an Easter egg and not be surprised.
to my knowledge it was never actually shipped in the releases...
@@Christmaswreath I like bunny butts and I cannot lie.
I think it is supposed to be at chrome://yiff
There was an issue raised about it 6 months ago on github.

the beauty of open source is that you could add the furry porn easter egg yourself
You know what... this joke project really highlights a glaring issue with Chromium being the defacto browser engine... This project really shows that if you want to make a commercial viable browser based on chromium, your barrier to entry is extremely high as you have to tackle the chromium project head on. This project really showcases what a fool's errand that is, so imagine the barrier for community developers trying to get their feet wet in chromium
hey that was my original idea
@@Aikoyori the legend himself. Gotta say, this is kind of a weird way to make a point but I love the result haha. I'm a chromium dev myself and I've always complained about how heavy the toolchains are. Like everything Google does, it's overengineered to hell and bloated as a result.
@@SafetySheepRnD gotta say compiling takes a hell lot of time especially on a not-made-to-build-Chromium machines and even then you need to figure out packaging for every system that I am targeting
and yes it's a weird way to make a point but i think at least some people got the point
@@SafetySheepRnD An overengineered bloated toolchain is people's job security. Lay a trap for when the board starts the mass layoffs.
Damn, webdrm devs got some serious competition here
One _great_ feature for this pissandcrap (or something?) browser would be that it would change its language to a random language sometimes.
Upon crashing, it should bork bork bork into swedish.
Record logs with Wingdings symbols)
When page gets to RAM saving mode, upon visiting it again, load different random page from what you had opened instead.
And you could advertise it as a „turbo polyglot language learning technique“
"unused ram is wasted ram"
- probably me 2023
finally the browser we all deserve
i already have been using it for 10+ years
Maybe for the slow loading times feature, the description could be something like, "It is very unfair that in [current year], those living in the middle of nowhere are stuck with speeds from the dial-up age while everyone in the cities can go blazing fast. To rectify this, we have slowed everyone else down so the hillbillies don't feel left out."
That's way better, it's perfect
Perfect. And make sure that it does literally say „[current year]“ in the text.
I want a web browser that start playing a drilling fart noise if the website tries to bring up a pop up ad... and then starts doing a DDoS attack on that particular web sight until I leave the sight or they take down the pop up.
That would be illegal.

[5:10] “That’s impressively bad”: my new favorite passive aggressive retort
It would've been next level trolling if they didn't just disable text selecting using CSS, buy literally had all text as raw vector shapes as SVG (not text in SVG, literally convert font into bezier)
In issue 3, linux build issue:
the user Adriau Say:
"Think we need to base the linux support on a lutris install script."
I was crying from laughing when you revealed the name of this browser. This would be the perfect browser to have these features (to make it better...I mean shittier). The browser should have every time you open it a full page popup asking you to donate to the project (voluntary of course. You can decline it). Then whether you donated ever or not, this same popup page opens every time you open the browser. You close the donation popup, it stays gone until you scroll down/up. Then it reopens again, asking for money.
The topper is, the browser itself should have its own crypto shitcoin (perhaps actually named shitcoin, smaller denominations of shitcoin could be called pisspennies). The thing with the donation soliciting page, is the browser will only accept donation in the form of its own shilled shitcoins and pisspennies. No other type currencies accepted.
It better be a poopup, not a popup.
@@Qyngali True 🤣
The donation link should go to a broken web page that uses Comet (that old web tech that stopped the page load from ever finishing), and all donation links on the official page should do the same, so that it just seems like the page is slow. The help should make an oblique reference to the real link being in the source, and the link in question should be _vertical_ instead of horizontal so it can be committed over multiple commits instead of being immediately visible.
finally a project i can contribute to, my coding skills are shit so i should fit right in.
wdym joke? this is the beginning of something revolutionary.
This is what makes open source awesome
"It's such a bad browser that it doesn't have a Linux build yet" - stab at Safari, which isn't available on Linux or Android or Windows?
Actually Safari has been available for a while on Windows, but that was a long time ago. At least they tried.
@@TheExileFox has been vs is...
Safari hasn't been available on Windows for like a decade or something.
@@shgysk8zer0Yeah, I remember when it was.
You owe me a keyboard man. I just sprayed soda all over mine when you revealed that. And clearly the best browser is telnet to port 80.
can somebody please make a browser with all those 'features' please? i need that in my life
I always loved the redirecting back or forward urls, that opened exe downloads. Also when webpage opened automatically in full screen mode with some nice photos. It needs to be in AUR asap.
I'm actively using Firefox (or rather its fork LibreWolf), but sometimes i stumble upon things that only chromium supports - and that starts a long brave vs Firefox comparison in my head
If you need a Chromium Browser, I'd recommend Vivaldi. I'd highly prefer to stay with firefox as we need more non-chromium browsers to prevent an indirect monopoly but I do personally believe everyone should have a back-up browser for both troubleshooting and allowing you access to the internet without being forced to use IE or Edge and personally, I don't know of any other recommended browser that isn't on Chromium :(
¿Por que no los dos?
thats why i installed both librewolf and brave, for daily drive and edge cases respectively
Unrivalled Inefficiency? Replace all sorts with a _copying_ bubble sort, with a random interjection of two or three bogosort steps first, and _don't_ delete intermediate steps until after sorting is complete. This obviously can run out of memory, so have all generated copies built, stored, and referenced via file I/O with no attempts at optimization, because premature optimization is bad. Also, always flush file handles on every I/O operation and store in triplicate for error correction, because a rogue cosmic ray flipping a bit in your sort buffer is obviously likely to blow up nuclear reactors that your computer has nothing to do with.
Bogosort is best sort
@@BrodieRobertsoni agree
Man I can't wait for Poopandfartenfox.
Though I do wonder if they'll make Ashittany someday (based on GNOME Web).

4:54 I have written almost all code on my own website manually, very often breaking things for a few seconds to minutes. But even I have _never_ had sich a strange bug XD
I vaguely recall that happening on other "can't copy the text" sites, I think it's linked to some javascript library's implementation of the trick.
@@absalomdraconis
I also have some uncopiable text on my website (because it looks weird if you select text on interactive elements instead of activating them) , and it's sone through one simple CSS attribute, user-select:none. That's all and it doesn't cause such glitches.
"that's impressively bad" - when you make something so bad you require actual skill to make it that bad
Sure this is not from Microsoft? The feature description fits perfectly
Wow this is refreshing a browser that actually tells the truth with regards to where your data goes! 😮
brodie robertson is hot
@@TimkaSR 😉
I'm more into InfinitelyGalactic type of guy, but Brodie is definitely a cutie patootie, especially on this thumbnail
There needs to be a joke browser called "So long, gay browser!"
Good timing with the thorium situation
This is definitely one of the projects of all time.
On windows I use powertoys, which has a feature "copy fron screen" I think. It basically takes a screenshot of a user selected section of the screen and puts it throu an OCR so you can paste the text. Great when copying from images, error windows or even badly designed corporate programs
It does have some quirks (e.g. sometimes it confuses 1 with l (small L) ) but nothing a quick glance can't detect and correct. It's a huge timesaver
ms edge: finally!! a worthy opponent, our battle will be legendary!!!
Edge is a piece of garbage browser that no one uses. Everyone despise edge because is to bloated and crappy. Their bunch of liars and also forcing everyone to use it against user’s will. No wonder crappy edge’s market share is decreasing to 10.74% due to their dirty tactics. Crappy edge is nothing but a sinking ship. Crappy edge is digging its own grave. Just stick with google chrome.
"Got a problem? Good luck with that!"
It's funny until you realize a lot of companies have that mentality without being honest about it.
Just a heads up, You can actually copy and paste the text on here (and other websites that try to block copy/paste). Just right click the text and inspect it and you can copy from the HTML directly.
Imagine this browser starting up with the fart equivalent of the THX sound.
Fart with reverb?
user Ifixy says:
"This is a SCANDAL!!! This NEVER should be running in Wine. Since every browser needs a kernel level AntiCheat to make sure no one "Inspects Element", I'm pretty sure an AntiCheat will be coming soon. Since it's impossible to write a kernel AntiCheat for Linux (that's what I heard from Tim Sweeney, and he is a SMART man), we shouldn't allow these Linux hackers to access this browser!"
LOL
Opera appearing as an ad to the start of this video is really ironic lmao
This video is now on the actual project's site now
Aiko hopped into my discord after the video came out
That browser needs to open Bing when you want Google and vice versa
It would be funny if they had a twitch channel that just publicly shows the screens of different users without notifying them.
4:11 Skibidi Toilet is Alphoomer humour
If you can highlight the text but can't copy it, use on of those translate extensions. They can grab text even if you (the user) can't. I use one called simple translate and it works great for any text that is actual text on the page. It doesn't work for images though.
My favorite browser is Vivaldi. I'd consider switching away if Firefox got solid tab stack support as the tab group plugins just don't cut it for me, but for right now Vivaldi is where I stay.
Even Sidebery doesn't cut it for you?
@@ArielVolovik I haven't heard of Sidebery. I'll take a look and see how I feel about it.
@@ArielVolovik Sidebery is 1/10th as good as vivaldi tab and workspace management.
@@lastrae8129 Highly disagree, when i used vivaldi, tab stacks were a dealbreaker for me, i couldn't ever imagine switching to a browser without them. Then i tried firefox with sidebery and now i can't imagine ever switching back. Being able to arrange my tabs more than 2 levels deep is a game changer, and the multiple pane thing helps me keep my tabs at least vaguely sorted. I've been using firefox with sidebery for more than a year now and I've never looked back.
I thought we were going to get into the recent issues with Thorium. I guess this browser has some catching up to do to truly take the title of worst browser.
My favorite is hardend Firefox
I'm tempted to try to build this. Maybe submit a patch for bogosorting bookmarks
oh, and find some piss poor justification for making this blocking and dispense with the progress bar as a "waste of CPU cycles" or some shit
it's going to remove the address bar in the future
I don't know what it's called, but there's a saying that if you try to make something the worst of its kind, by the nature of these efforts, it isn't.
They should remove installing any extensions, a dark mode, & most importantly, make it so that you can't copy any text whatsoever on any site in the browser. A+ suggestions, I deserve a raise.
Can't believe no one voted Netscape for the absolute worst browser ever created
because IE is worse
Netscape wasn't awful. Without it, Firefox would NOT exist. Say what you want about how bad it is now, but I don't think the web would be very good if IE was the best browser...
A new browser for Thorium users. 👍
"We now open new pages in a new tab, but change the typeface color to match the tab, so you can't read it. Look at the page if you want to know where you are, stupid!"
"We've also included a non-help page you can go to for non-help."
the browser that don't break
haha proud to be the 5th star on this project. I was looking forward to its inevitable popularity in the future :D
I just found out a few days ago on a very small Discord server, and then aikoyori started DMing me asking how I found it. Then to my surprise, it turned out _he_ was the author.
I don't know, I feel like IE was still worse.
IE was as damaging to the web as outlook still is to email
Crappy edge is the worst web browser ever.
Whats wrong with outlook? i dont really use it, i only have my unused old 2008 hotmail email that i created when i was a kid
"bUt UnUsEd RaM iS wAsTeD rAm!1!1!1!"
It not having a Linux build is already peek comedy right there.
from every traits shown there, "the features" it sounds like arch linux official browser. that font flickering? thats a feature you get when installing flatpak's runtime. dont believe me?
No, Guix
Time to revert some closed issues!
The Green theme has that Baby Poo colour going on. Nice!
The best shitposts put in more effort than the thing they are mocking.
There are some objectively bad browsers who aren't bad on purpose, like Ladybird but they are still a great project, for the fun.
In the past we had sheetty browser built-in in to the Windows XP. Nothing will ever be able to beat IE in this category
When you announced the name I literally lolled.
Normcap allows you to ocr text like if you were taking a screenshot. May be useful for stuff like this.
Twenty years ago i used the Mozilla Suite. Then Phoenix came along and that's what i am using ever since, even if it changed names a few times.
But i feel like Firefox today needs the same treatment that Mozilla Suite got back then: Cut out the useless shite and have the browser browse again like it's 2004 (Not quite, but you get what i mean)
It's the browser we don't deserve but google does. It would be just a waste of clock cycles.. but it seems to the idea 😅
skibidi toilet, skibidi skibidi toilet, ohohohhhh, skibidiii toileeet, skibidi skibidi toileet
Arc looks pretty good, but no linux version aswell (windows beta has started). I think they use swift as the "frontend"
The 'features' were AI-generated? It sounded like they copied it from Google Chrome.
I love the implication that Opera is better than Chrome, Safari or Edge in 2023
I was thinking that the worst browser was netcat. But this one sounds worse.
This could reduce my youtube adiction
A great (and annoying) idea for this would be to automatically start playing video or audio on a random inactive tab.
I thought everyone knew you could screenshot and use an OCR (Optical Character Recognition) to extract text.
Could've done the same by taking a photo with phone, and use Google Lense, Bixby, or Apple's equivalent.
I use Edge on linux (stable build). I use it for personal, but also have another build install for my work profile (super nice to have all my work data/bookmarks/history Sync'd to my work Microsoft account). I liked it so much for work a few years ago after the chromium migration that I switched my personal browser to edge (and sync to microsoft account instead of google). It really is a fantastic browser, and a lot of the microsoft content they like to push to you, can all be disabled.
That aside -- I have been battling an issue with all Chromium browsers recently on both Debian 12 and popOS where my browser tabs will randomly crash (gives an error 11). I am not sure if it's related to a memory leak, bug, or what -- but it happens on both Chrome and Brave (including Edge). It's getting really frustrating and goes away for a few days/week at a time after system updates.
Edge is a piece of garbage browser that no one uses. Everyone despise edge because is to bloated and crappy. Their bunch of liars and also forcing everyone to use it against user’s will. No wonder crappy edge market share is decreasing to 10.69% due to their dirty tactics. Crappy edge is digging its own grave. Just stick with google chrome.
being bad is that you are trying to be good at something and failing. you have a purpose and you are bad at it.
if you don't give a shit, you are not bad, on the contrary, you might be even good at not giving a shit and presenting annoying user experience. their purpose is presenting horrible user experience, and they are actually very good at that. so it's not the worst browser, it's a really good browser who aims to displease. and they are good at displeasing.
I agree. By trying to make the "worst browser ever", it fails.
This seems like a website in the gtav browser
Which browser do you use?
Currently using Firefox, Waterfox and Vivaldi. Just stopped using Brave due to it developing a reload issue months ago and it never getting fixed (occurring on 2 different pc's). I generally change browsers multiple times a year when they do something stupid.
Firefox finally appears to be as good as everyone has been claiming it was for years.
LibreWolf is king
I am not sure which is the best librewolf or Firefox with userjs
Oh gosh, I would _love_ to try an overly engineered and extremely inefficient browser. The idea seems just as fun as worstsort.
It was created by Chrom authors, to make them feel better.
This would be better implemented as an extension really. Actual browser forks are stupidly hard to maintain. They have to be continuously rebased against the upstream project. Even just maintaining patch sets against upstream is a total pain. That's quite a lot of work for a joke project.
the point is being crap so being outdated isn't problem
@@luimu It is a problem. A security bug in the javascript jit compiler, for example, can very easily lead to ACE and/or easy exploitation of side-channels to read secret information - by simply loading a web page. A browser is an enormous attack surface. Backporting security fixes is difficult and a waste of effort. Even for something like this following upstream is critical.
@@Ormaaj I still don't see how having ACE exploit in this browser is bad. I think it could be a great feature in fact. If the user gets their shit stolen that's their issue, kinda signed up for it by installing a program called pissandshittium.
If only we could erase what the current internet is and just start from scratch-ish. After all, the protocol isn't completely horrible, just get rid of HTML/CSS/JS. Either go full programming language and integrate all the features into one, or make a better markup language that doesn't require a separate programming language or stylesheet language. I've already been trying to incorporate some markup capabilities into my own language, the thought being that I could generate its documentation with the compiler, but who knows, if my language doesn't suck out of the gate then maybe others would want to use it.
Perhaps if we fork this and remove the piss from it, that way it'll be a TRULY brownpilled web browser. Just like what the enlightened Sir Reginald would have wanted...
Thanks for your input real Waffle Ryebread Tail Concerto
End of the day, a browser is a browser. We are discussing the color of apples here. Some apples may taste different but they are all apples. What I mean is that all the privacy and shit is completely irrelevant once you make a google account and login into some third party. The best privacy focused end result you should aim for is instead of trying to remove these trackers and blueprints, you need to lie to them and choose yourself what you want them to see. From a practical perspective, you need to create an environment specifically for browsing and interacting with internet following OPSEC conventions. Because in the end of the day, a lot of us require those corporate exclusive tools because corporates are most of the times the ones that can mobilize resources to make big things.
This doesnt justify picking rotten apples, just saying.
