CIRCLE WITH A DOT

If you're looking for something chromium-based, then Vivaldi is probably the best choice.
And holy shit, Gemini is dumb as a sack of bricks (not that it's surprising but since it has the highest chance of staying around due to Google being able to tank the loss, whoo boy)

I avoided reading the blog post despite seeing it earlier but now I skimmed through it ... The fact the fucking present day GitHub sounds like a far better choice compared to this now speaks volumes.

Do you know what's the saddest part about this AV Digital-Stasi bullshit? That the only people it protects are actual abusers.
How, you may ask? Well, in a place where there are no kids, no kid knows that they're being abused or handled as an abuse material. Because you know, to those people, kids = lesser beings/things/merchandise.
Introducing AV removes the kids' tools for self-defence. Because one can't defend themselves against the threat they don't know about and can't report to anyone. And keep in mind that abusers come from the circles closest to the kids. Because abuser needs to know the victim really well.
Think about it next time you think this crap is a good idea.

Yup, they don't "talk" values, they "live" values.

Like, I have no diagnosis and I very strongly relate to their struggles.

Applies not just to privacy: "Be a mentor, not a gatekeeper. Guide towards the goalpost instead of moving it."

Can you guarantee the age information doesn't get stored?
Can you guarantee the age information isn't tied to identity?
If you can't guarantee the first, then it's not equivalent to "showing the physical ID" (the physical ID isn't copied/written down in the process)
If you can't guarantee the second, then you're not doing age verification but ownership verification/identity verification which is a different task.

Moreover:
"It is for parents to raise their children."
Then make sure parents have safe environment to do so. This means not needing them to work 24/7, losing their mind to stress so they have time to do parenting which is in fact a full-time job that can't be offloaded to anything or anyone else.

Right now the only thing you and many other "Liberal" administrations are doing is an equivalent of "building a kid's corner in a minefield" or "marking a minefield 'Adults Only'".
