Was using Brave and after reading things about it here, just switched back to Firefox!
I personally use brave since a year, and it work like a charm.
So both Google and those people from the browser company can sell your data.
I seen someone say Brave is not as privacy concerned as you'd think on here, with a link to some article, but I can't remember the reason🤔
Brave likes to push BAT (and thus its own ads replacing the existing ones on the web) but it's ultimately opt-out. Same with their analytics (which, in fairness, Firefox also does by default).
I just went back to Edge from Firefox. I've been a long-time user, but it seems like too many of the sites I use don't work properly and some not at all. It sucks because I've always preferred FF, but I gotta get sh*t done.
I never switched to Chrome. I didn't do it when it first came out and people were shitting their pants in excitement. I didn't use chrome in the middle of the 2010s when no one even knew about Firefox. I still don't use it. I never switched from Firefox.
Sigh. I really don't want to put in an official bug report for it but the #1 reason I don't exclusively use Firefox is a bug involving some porn sites I occasionally visit. No clue why, but Chrome (and its variants) load the sites in a second or two and Firefox will take 3+ mins to load them. Haven't seen that behavior anywhere else but those sites.
I switched to FF a few years ago when my Chrome was showing some bloat. FF works for almost everything, but from time to time some sites, forms, e-commerce, etc., have issues with non-Chrome browsers. In that event, I use Edge.
Okay I’m going to step into it. I’ve been liking Vivaldi recently as a browser. Is that screwed too because it’s based on chromium? Or am I safe for now?
I use ungoogled-chromium with Firefox as a backup. The great thing about ungoogled-chromium is its a barebone browser, and that is exactly what I want. Only downfall is the browser does not auto update. I use change detector to get a notification when a new version is out.
I only ever tried Chrome on school computers but it was useless, always kept crashing.
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
