Comment on Why you shouldn't use Brave Browser

TL;DR: The ceo is a bigoted asshole, Brave is chromium, it was initially funded by Peter Thiel and they’re literally just trying to make their own adsense network.

The self-proclaimed privacy focused browser is tracking your browsing and want to serve you personalized ads, and use that tracking data for their AI training.

And lets not forget about their crypto currency that you can earn by turning on special ads. And they seemingly unironically called it “Basic Attent Tokens”…

I see no reason to use any other browser than Firefox and maybe Librewolf.

  Firefox on desktop is awesome. Firefox on mobile is painful.

    Android firefox is ok now. Moreover now it supports add ons too and there are some good add ons there.

    It’s a very small number of add-ons, but one of them is uBlock Origin, and that’s all I really want.

    User interface is poor. Cannot customise the gui at all so I feel like it’s a downgrade over Samsung browser that also supports ad blocks.

    What’s wrong with Firefox on iOS? I realise it’s WebKit with a Firefox skin, but it seems to work well enough.

  I am forced to use Chromium on my work laptop because MS Teams doesn’t work (all the features) on Firefox.

    Good. Use it anyway, and bathe in their tears!

    They claim to be decent, but it’s closed source so who knows…

  I am using Brave mainly because of its superb YouTube support - It has a built in ad block, can download videos offline and play minimized. Is there any way I can achieve this with any other browser? I would switch immediately.
