Can someone inform me what's wrong with the brave browser?

[–] Cube6392@beehaw.org 25 points 2 years ago (6 children)

It's chromium and the company sells telemetry data to advertisers. It's quite literally doing the thing it draws users in with.

Is Firefox not also using chromium?

[–] gullible@kbin.social 20 points 2 years ago (1 children)

No, Firefox is entirely distinct from chromium.

[–] KingPyrox@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I did not know this, thank you.

[–] Teon@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

Firefox does not use Chromium. However, people get confused because when you mod FF you change the userChrome file with CSS.
FF has had that file name even before Google had a browser.

Firefox uses their own engine, Gecko
