If you are keen on personal privacy, you might have come across Brave Browser. Brave is a Chromium-based browser that promises to deliver privacy with built-in ad-blocking and content-blocking protection. It also offers several quality-of-life features and services, like a VPN and Tor access. I mean, it's even listed on the reputable PrivacyTools website. Why am I telling you to steer clear of this browser, then?

God damnit.

Every browser I switched to since Firefox has been a good user experience, and then I find out some horrible bullshit.

Is there any safe browser that isn't run by hateful assholes?

Firefox? Mozilla are just stupid, not really hateful

I was about to say something about Waterfox too! It feels like old Firefox.

Might give this a crack. Been waiting on Ladybird to come to PC.

Edit: OK it really doesn't work well with bitwarden on mobile. Normal FF works fine but not this one.

Edit2: ended up installing bitwarden add-on in the app and that resolved the issue of the phone level app not working.

FF is starting to enshittify because they depend on Google for their revenue

I'm waiting on Ladybird to come out next year into alpha
