tusharpandey13··on Launch HN: SigmaOS (YC S21) – A MacOS web browser designed for faster work
Honestly, this just seems like a cheap rip-off of Vivaldi. All of the features(yes, all of them) are already present in Vivaldi, including the split screen, tree style tabs, sync, global search, full keyboard support. Slapping some UI makeup on top of an already existing product does not warrant a hefty fee of $15 in my view. Also, I don't see any proof that my data is secure. For all I know, you guys will sell off my data after 3 years when this doesn't work out.

>We charge $15 per month, no ads, and no data monetization. Isn't it kinda strange that a browser is promising us no ads in the UI, for a price? Like, wasn't that already established? I don't see any other browsers that show ads in the UI(regarding the new tab content, you can easily turn them off). This looks like snake oil the more I look at it.

>You can quickly find pages in your history and already-open pages across workspaces. Have you ever typed anything in a chromium address bar?

Apart from the snooze and done features, tell me one thing that this browser achieves that isn't already available through free, open-source, trustworthy extensions whose code I can see and audit.

Beware, the play store version shows full screen ads, auto redirects and needs contacts permissions.
tusharpandey13··on Truck Art in Pakistan (2018)
The simple fact that these trucks and their owners don't give a damn about western countries is enough to counter any arguments. They're made the way they are to carry as much load as possible, and the decorations hold a sentimental value to the owners. Many of these owners own a maximum of 2 to 3 trucks and their livelihood depends on it. Considering that the profession runs in the family, it's not difficult to attach sentimental value to these vehicles.

Facebook also does this.

HN usually acts like an old, intellectual, know-it-all-seen-it-all programmer grandpa that somehow knows all that the fields of computer science and philosophy have to offer. But this thread show what it actually is. A glorified reddit.
