You’re not wrong here. I think chrome browser is basically the Defacto browser, and it obviously allows google to do whatever it wants. Not great. The Mozilla / Brave options are barely that. I struggle to even all them competitors at this point.
I definitely appreciate some of the EU’s recent privacy/monogoly focused legislation. Also, thanks EU for forcing a common sense charging cord standard and killing off the stupid lightning plug. IMO, if apple would have not been so greedy, they could have unlicensed it and maybe everyone would have used that. EAD apple :)

You mean “The Mozilla option”. Brave is just Yet Another Chrome Reskin.

Good point. I don’t use it. I thought it stripped/blocked tracking though.

That’s not the issue. The issue is that it uses the same rendering engine as Chrome, which means any random self-serving shit Google adds gets endorsed by Brave too unless they go out of their way to maintain a fork that removes it.

And using it also strengthens the monopoly of Google over the web.
