The only problem is it isn’t based on Chromium tho. That just doesn’t suffice anymore.
I was an avid Firefox user for years and librewolf user for a year after that, but unfortunately, FF hasn’t been able to keep up in terms of web standards.
More and more I kept having pages just not work. I ended up having to install a backup Chromium-based browser bc critical websites like my banking and loan sites only worked on Chromium-based browsers. Eventually, I caved. If I had to have a second,Chromium-based browser anyway, I might as well just use that for everything.
I wanted to not use Chromium, but FF has lost the war. Chromium runs the show now. No more fighting back. Google owns the internet.
So now I’m on Brave, and honestly it’s way better than Librewolf these days. I would recommend any librewolf user switch over to that.
I do the same. Some websites will not work claiming Firefox is not supported, but do some user agent spoofing and suddenly it works just fine. Just goes to show it is not actually the web engine that’s the problem.
Peter Thiel has invested in Brave. He also owns Palantir, the biggest corporate espionage agency on the planet, which contracts with the Department of Defense to build the largest government surveillance network in history expressly for the purpose of tracking every American, and has used that network to hunt down immigrants for ICE.
Taking that all into account, I find it beyond belief that Brave isn’t a part of that network, and I’m not interested in using it on the off chance that it isn’t.
Peter Thiel is a major backer of Brave. Additionally, Brave has done other scummy things, like injecting their own referral IDs on some pages and trading user user privacy for money by unblocking trackers from companies that pay them.
I use Firefox every day of my life on multiple platforms. It works great. And I don’t need to fund crypto scams or contribute to the death of an open internet to use it. Cope.
One of the few chromies that has adblock still as well as decent privacy-by-default settings. I just disable the AI stuff. It doesn’t have crypto stuff anymore (at least not in your face; I’m sure you can still re-enable it). It’s the best chromium browser by far.
Same. Or if there is a problem, I have no reason to believe it’s due to what browser I’m using. Sometimes there’s technical issues on the other end. Opening a support ticket can help get things straightened out.
It’s weird how i still haven’t run into any of those sites after years of using firefox. For me it not being chromium is a positive, especially with this recent adblock nonsense that google is pulling.
Yes they are. They are agreed upon standards set for future development from a host of different companies. Chrome is just always the first to implement them. It’s not that firefox will never have them, they just develop slow.
And I won’t switch from brave bc it’s the one browser that just works and has good adblock
Yeah it was good for a while. But now a few important websites for me just don’t work anymore, like a page for paying my loan. It only worked in chromium browsers. I know that chromium will work everywhere because they’re the first to implement the newest standards and are the most supported by developers due to it having a huge market share. I can’t rely on knowing firefox will work anymore. I’ve lost faith in it as a product.
I believed the same things… in around 2014. By internet standards, that’s an absolutely ancient perspective, and absolutely untrue these days. My main browser is Floorp, a Firefox fork, and I’ve found a total of one website that actually doesn’t work, which was just a huge directory listing.

Yeah, I’ve used websites like that. So I told Firefox to spoof my user agent to be chrome and now I just use those websites anyway.
I’m not interested in handing my data over to Palantir any more than I am to Google, so I’m not going to use Brave.

What does Brave have to do with palantir? Have i missed something?

Thank you! And thank god, that i don’t use it :D. So, I’m still staying with firefox.

Thank you!
This is all kinds of wrong. Fuck Brave and fuck Chromium.
Brave works. Firefox doesn’t. Cope
I use Firefox every day of my life on multiple platforms. It works great. And I don’t need to fund crypto scams or contribute to the death of an open internet to use it. Cope.
Why would you choose the crypto bro ad company browser out of all the chrome spinoffs?
Why not use any of the others?
One of the few chromies that has adblock still as well as decent privacy-by-default settings. I just disable the AI stuff. It doesn’t have crypto stuff anymore (at least not in your face; I’m sure you can still re-enable it). It’s the best chromium browser by far.
Interesting, I use FF for everything, on android, Linux & windows, no problems.
Good for you. It works for most websites. But when I can’t pay my loan bc firefox is crapping itself, it means I can’t use firefox.
The only things I’ve encountered that don’t work are webusb things and snapchat but snapchat you can just change user agent and it’s fine.
Same. Or if there is a problem, I have no reason to believe it’s due to what browser I’m using. Sometimes there’s technical issues on the other end. Opening a support ticket can help get things straightened out.

But brave has adblock, so it’s all good
Yeah but i don’t like that it’s chromium, and the crypto stuff has always put me off.
Friend, they’re not “standards” if only one browser supports them.
Also, you should probably switch from Brave to literally anything else.
Yes they are. They are agreed upon standards set for future development from a host of different companies. Chrome is just always the first to implement them. It’s not that firefox will never have them, they just develop slow.
And I won’t switch from brave bc it’s the one browser that just works and has good adblock
Well it really depends on your use case because as a daily driver I never see any buggy page. Not even the enhanced protection thing is blocking pages

Yeah I feel like OP is either lying or incompetent
