How is brave ever a better alternative to Firefox. What a load of horse shit.
Seriously exhausted of people recommending it. The company itself is extremely concerning and was founded by a right-wing bigot involved in crypto scams. There are far better Chromium-based browsers for those who want that. Brave should be left to rot.
To be fair to the video, it presented alternative browsers for those who either aren’t happy about recent Firefox changes, or users who want a secondary browser. I’m not a fan of Brave personally, but the video never really makes the claim that Brave is objectively better than Firefox
“better” is kind of implied when you suggest “alternatives”.
Is it really? I’d say an alternative is generally just “another option that has (more or less) the same features”. Better isn’t really implied, as that’s someone’s subjective opinion.
Because it is, even though you dont like it.
Riiiiight, a chromium fork with questionable crypyo and a history of even more questionable decisions (referral scam or not blocking all the trackers, for example) is better than a non-chromium non-fork with no crypto and a history of questionable decisions.
It’s Chromium based, so no thanks.
also the founder is a right wing bigot.
How
Despite the negative things in Brave’s history, it is currently the best working browser on iOS that has a working adblock feature.
I switched over to CachyOS a month back and noticed the distro’s included browser is actually a fork of LibreWolf, which I was already dabbling with: https://github.com/CachyOS/CachyOS-Browser-Settings
LW takes a lot of getting used to, but is arguably the best option imo
vivaldi my beloved 😌
How is Vivaldi with security? I had used it for a few months a few years ago before I started caring for my own privacy but never looked in to it. I know it’s by former opera devs but that’s the extent. Is it FOSS?
I’m no security expert but I’ve heard that although it’s not the absolute safest, it’s still pretty good. There’s some options you can check when first running it. A starting point may be their official privacy page
