I'll keep using it. It's the best browser out there, FF is terrible and is managed by a shitty, corrupt company which deserves to disappear.

This has to be a joke right…

Like I can’t imagine any way this could be serious, cause brave literally inserted referral codes to steal money from creators. They also inject ads. Like… you have to be making a joke. There’s no way you’re serious.

The only joke here is the crap browser that FF is. Bye.

Okey bye IE bot. Hope to see ya in a few year when Edge finally reach you... So the IE dumb defender didn't disappear, they started using brave... This explain so much about how a company with this kind of action against the consumer can survive. They target the old IE fan boy with an humiliation kink.

He was so upset he threw a fit and downvoted anyone who didn't parrot his ideals

Not sure if I should block these users to reduce the ragebait or leave them to enjoy the comedy.

[-] Diurnambule@jlai.lu 1 points 15 hours ago

For my defense he is asking for it...

[-] KyuubiNoKitsune 2 points 13 hours ago

Indeed he was.

Check out Helium. It’s what Brave was supposed to be. (And it uses Chromium.)

[-] Zerush@lemmy.ml 1 points 21 hours ago

It's a good one, but still in alpha and only Windows for the moment. Keeping an eye on it as alternative somewhat later.

I’ve been using it on Linux for months and didn’t notice anything weird going on. It’s not my main browser though, so your mileage may vary.

But we'll keep recommending something else.

[-] Engywuck@lemmy.zip 1 points 20 hours ago

It's not working very well, at least for FF, which keeps hemorrhaging users (deservedly).

[-] 68silver@beehaw.org 2 points 21 hours ago

I run Brave on all my systems.

[-] Hirom@beehaw.org 1 points 1 day ago

Is Helium or something like it available on iOS?

[-] mysterious_cake@feddit.nl 1 points 19 hours ago

No.

I use Firefox Focus ob iOS and AdGuard DNS.
