You should switch to FF rather.

Comment on Google Chrome pushes ahead with targeted ads based on your browser history
eminence@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I’ve mostly been using the chromium-based Brave Browser which is Chrome without the advertising engine plus a built-in adblocker. Requires going through the settings once to enable that. There’s a very decent android-only browser that does much the same, called Bromite. (Brave has a mobile version but Bromite is developed from scratch for Android, and is stable & supported).
I hope this helps someone.

Very… Brave of you saying that here. For me it’s the best browser out there as well, right now. Be prepared for a cascade of downvotes from Mozilla’s shills.

All these Chromium-based browsers, without exception, are pointless. Use Firefox with uBlock Origin and a good DNS server. Job done.

I run my own DNS so can easily see attempts to phone home, and serve ads. I get less of both those things than I used to get with Firefox and its ‘Sync’ routine. I feel more secure with Brave Browser than I do with Firefox but I have no axes to grind and am perfectly happy using Firefox onsite when it is called for. Little performance differences. Marginally, Brave is better.

Brave is a marketing browser masquerading as a privacy browser.
Just use Firefox. Mozilla is a nonprofit and Firefox is open source. It’s really not hard to switch.

Firefox is made by Mozilla Corp., which is for profit. Brave is fully FOSS as well. And Mozilla as a whole is a useless, unless we’re talking about taking Google’s money (money which comes from Google ad businnes, in the end).

I just checked. Mozilla has both a non-profit and a for profit division.
Both support Firefox.

FF is developed by the for profit Corp.
