I bounced between the two for years, i guess i am going back to Firefox full time.
The only reason I haven't switched to Firefox from Chrome fully is because for some reason Firefox for Android still doesn't have tabs for large screen devices. Mozilla says it's not a priority. 🤷
I dont know why anyone would leave chrome and land on something like brave.
If youre ditching chrome, which you should, go to an actual different browser and use Firefox.
I am using Brave mainly because of its superb YouTube support - It has a built in ad block, can download videos offline and play minimized. Is there any way I can achieve this with any other browser? I would switch immediately.
But how can i replace the built in function of youtube playing music on mobile in the background? Please give me an alternative
Newpipe?
Thank you!!! Any chance the app supports a ‘random-but-personalized’ music suggestion feature? Like the playlist finish and it keeps playing based on your previous content
Honestly not sure. There are other such third party YouTube players, I'd suggest searching around for newpipe alternatives and I bet one of them will suit your needs
Vivaldi? Trusting a closed sourced application for privacy? What?
Not even defending brave here, just weird that the author say that.
At one point they were scummy enough to automatically add their referral codes to any Amazon link you see. Lots of people today still mindlessly recommend Brave, and that's what's wrong in general with the "but the UX is so nice" mentality.
If you really dig into the whole ordeal it was a software error, not some malicious idea to steal links from creators.
