LMAO their response to the VPN ads they rolled out to every Firefox user was hilarious. Any poster got the a comment that the user should use the already existing posts about it, the thing is, each and every post was locked by the mods with the same comment, not one post was available to comment on the situation. Eventually some posts went through after a while, but these hours, man, that's when i went Chromium, if i get fucked either way, i might as well use the objectively superior browser.
Brave has been a decent chromium-based browser for me that has acceptable privacy features. Particularly, their anti-fingerprinting measures seem to be pretty decent (as far as a tech monkey like me could tell).
They obfuscate your fingerprint, but also do so in a way that makes it appear more generic than Firefox's anti-fingerprint option. The irony of FF being that it made you more uniquely identifiable to use some of their security measures simply because they make you stand out as more of an anomaly.
Brave has been caught with their hands in the cookie jar too much for me to use it. I tried it for a bit, but then all the articles of them doing stuff they promised not to do kept piling up. There is a reason they used the data-hoovering Chrome base.
I also switched to Brave - Firefox's memory leaks had become untenable for me. Now if I have enough Brave tabs open, the whole browser just freezes. I'm sticking with it though.
Agreed. That sub has done a lot to convince me that leavin FF would have been a good idea. Good job /s.
