Brave has crypto minded shit built in, and they “protect you” by running their own tracking network, so they can be the exclusive sellers of the data.
Fuck brave.

Saved your comment so I can quote it anytime I see somebody try to push Brave on someone else. It's like the Jehovah's Witnesses of browsers Istg.

Meanwhile I'm on LibreWolf enjoying both extra anti-tracking features and not being reliant on Chromium
I tried Librewolf for a while and I gotta admit that many websites were broken for various reasons. It made using the web a bit more difficult.
The only issue I had experienced is that timestamps on Twitch and YouTube chats are displaying time in GMT+0 instead of my timezone. Which is understandable as part of anti-fingerprinting. But that's just anecdotal experience.

My plan is usually, Librewolf for everything. Waterfox when I'm going to log in to the service anyways. Mullvad browser when my customized librewolf(not advised) breaks websites. Ungoogled Chromium when needed because of engine(e.g. testUfo).

My problem with LibreWolf is when Firefox eventually dies, what happens to the codebase upstream?
The same question could be asked about Chromium, though. When Google completely enshittifies the engine, what happens to every browser based on it?
Shit everywhere.

Brave still doing that fucking crypto shit in your browser?
I had a coworker excitedly tell me that he had earned a total of $12 MXN ($0.67 USD) from Brave. 🤦♂️

Aren't the developers of Brave a bunch of homophobic assholes?
Not to mention Brave is just another chromium browser
Not to mention it already has AI built into it, while everyone is busy freaking out about Firefox even mentioning plans to roll out their own.

Everybody sucks but you really should be cheering for Firefox in such a fight. Even now.

Let's go back to carrier pigeons.
"Aw fuck yeah, meme bird comes today with more memes!"
That's why you should never trust a company's opinion on competitors. The best option for privacy is actually not to have personal data.
Or borrow someone else’s. Lie to advertisers. Be a nuisance. It costs you very little time
My main criteria for a browser is not being Chrome or Chromium based.
This leaves my only options being Firefox and it's forks.
Or Microsoft Edge which stifles laughter I'm not gonna do.
Currently on Firefox but might give Librewolf a try.
Edit: I've been told Edge is also Chromium based now, the Firefox ecosystem really is the last holdout huh?
Edge is Chromium-based. It's also not (functionally) half bad, because, well, it's chromium based, but that obviously comes with all the other drawbacks

From the Brave website:
Beyond this core engine, Brave has built in tons of custom features atop that open-source Chromium core:
- Built-in ad blocker
- YouTube ad blocker
- AI assistant
Yeah, no. I'll stick with LibreWolf.
Not to mention that the CEO of Brave is a homophobic bigot. Good enough for me to boycott as a cis het male.

Fuck brave for anything other than using it on iOS for YouTube ad free
I’ve been using Orion instead.
Firefox is a sinking ship and Brave can suck my dick
If you want a low-drama setup: Firefox + uBlock Origin + tweak Enhanced Tracking Protection to ‘Strict’. Brave is solid too, but I’ve had a few sites act weird with the defaults.

I'd rather have this clash of the titans than whatever the fuck Chrome does next.
I rather use IE than brave
