| 0:00.0 | Grumpy old geeks, a weekly talk show hosted by Brian Schultmeister and Jason |
| 0:06.7 | DeFilippo discussing the finer points of what went wrong on the internet and who's to blame. |
| 0:16.5 | Welcome to Grumpy Old Geeks, I'm Jason DeFilippo. And I'm Brian Schultmeister. Brian, I made the switch. |
| 0:21.7 | I've done it. Okay. I've signed up with the brave browser. |
| 0:27.0 | You're a brave man. I am a brave man. Well, to turn it out not really, it was really seamless. |
| 0:32.7 | It was really seamless. It only took a few minutes and I just installed the one password extension |
| 0:39.3 | and I had sold the privacy.com extension. And turned out I don't really need any other extension. |
| 0:44.5 | So that's good. Yeah, I'm only running on two extensions. It basically works. We're actually |
| 0:51.1 | using squadcast right now to record the show in brave. So I have one browser, which is fantastic |
| 0:57.6 | because before I had to run Opera and Run Chrome when we did the show, which is exactly what I'm |

| 1:20.0 | Oh God. Sorry. |
| 1:21.6 | Left now. Yeah. All right. |
| 1:24.2 | Now that's the only thing. That's the only thing so far that I've run into any issues. |
| 1:28.3 | The other obvious issue is you have to log in with all of your password again because it doesn't |
| 1:33.8 | have anything saved in the browser. I never saved my passwords and browsers. Anyways, they're all in |
| 1:38.0 | one password. I still do just for convenience. It does have sync between browsers. It's a little weird. |
| 1:44.5 | Okay. Yeah. You set up kind of this little sync block chain between multiple machines and it |
| 1:53.4 | kind of runs this little thing in the background that keeps everybody in sync. Okay. It's interesting. |
| 1:59.0 | We'll be on the blockchain. You only have one computer now. So it doesn't really matter. |
