Pretty lost battle IMO.
Comment on Why you shouldn't use Brave Browser

I think that the number 1 reason to not use brave is that is based on the chromium engine. The number 2 is that they use limited anti fingerprinting tools and support his self built tracking and ads. The others about ideology of the CEO i think are not so important.

I always find it funny when people bring ideologies of the creator into discussions like this about software. Like no, I don’t give a fuck about what this guy’s opinions on political issues is. Are there any issues with the piece of software itself? You’re trying to argue about the product, not the creator behind it.

Ok see? Now, those are clear, thoughtful reasons no to use brave. Everything else is just a badly written resentful hit piece.

Why don’t you like Chromium? I’m looking for a Chrome alternative that IS based on Chromium. I have tried Firefox countless of times. Last time I used it 2 months. But chrome is just imo better, more stable, more compatible. And I’m so used to having to do calculations in the address bar and having the result without having to press enter.

That’s because at this point Google basically has a monopoly on the web. They’re pushing what they want, because they control most of the browser marketshare through not only Chrome but every other browser based on it. That’s also the main reason to not use Chromium-based browsers, because it’s helping Google strengthen their monopoly.

I know. But compatibility it not the only problem for me with Firefox.

Chromium is made by google. And google define with the chromium engine the web standard. Search about the deprecation of the manifest v2, and will know how the google monopoly is not a good thing as well

I’ve had zero compatibility issues with Firefox in the last, oh, 5 years? It was an issue a long time ago but not these days. If you absolutely, 100% must use a Chromium engine then Vivaldi isn’t too bad, but do your own research on their organization and see if it’s right for you.
