Comment on Chromium vs Brave

I’ve used brave since it came out. I use tampermonkey, edit this cookie and bitwarden. Additionally I use pihole/unbound+roothints.
I tend not to let Brendan’s controversies affect my choice because if I did I’d have to avoid JavaScript.
Brave provides me with a more secure chrome with extra bells and whistles. I’m a heavy user of app widows as I refuse to use electron based apps due them being pure chrome. When other browsers do this with the same protection as brave I’ll consider moving.

I assume?
A google search didn’t give me any useful pointers. Did you perhaps meant to convey PWAs?

I mentioned Brendan specifically because people like to lump in his flaws as reasons for not using brave in these discussions.
Yes I was referring to pwa’s, ssb’s, app windows, whatever you want to call them. Firefox used to have xulrunner and prism to provide them but now Firefox doesn’t provide a way other than a JavaScript popup via bookmarklet.

True. His name didn’t stick with me as his controversies and the fact that he is co-founder and CEO of Brave weren’t necessarily a reasons I would forego Brave for. Feelings have to be put aside IMO in favor of merits.
It’s really unfortunate that Firefox did this. This is actually one of the reasons why I like to have a Chromium-based browser around. I might eventually switch over to Epiphany for that.

I’ve not used GNOME for over a decade and have not used GNOME web for even longer lol. I’ll stick with brave as it fits my needs.
