Meh, they can shoot at Firefox if they want, but it's actually pretty good marketing for the Fox.

One feels there is an allegory for "too stupid to be afraid" buried in here.

How is it more private, when the browser is the one handling your data to show you ads, on top of the websites trying to do the same. So, extra ads? Wtf.

If you're gonna get a browser with a brave-like experience, might as well get a Firefox based one like Zen.

How about no

Either Firefox with Arkenfox userjs or Librewolf

Personally I never even considered installing it because of its stupid name.

Fox around and find out

I use Brave for solely one purpose that I hope to see in Firefox one day. It’s the only app I’ve found that lets you locally download a web video and play it natively on CarPlay. I rarely use it, but it’s handy when I need it.

Do you often watch videos while driving? Or am I missing something?

I tried it a few years ago. Ditched it because it's just another chromium browser.

Firefox has been my main for about 6 years now.

I fell for it because Al Swiegerts book: "Automate the boring stuff" used it in the webscrape sample.

After that I just kept using it. And felt justified in my choice when I realized the only other browsers left are chrome and Safari.

I just learned that Safari is a fork on Konquorer. So, that's interesting.
