Brave is a series scam company.
And yet it uses less RAM in Android phones compared to my goat, Firefox... Man FF needs a lot of improvements, all my complaints come from Android, the browser is perfect even on macOS!
Firefox still doesn't support tab groups on mobile. That's a non-starter for me. Hopfully Ladybird has their shit better put together than mozilla when they finally release their browser
I haven't heard about that browser, it seems that it does its own thing, IDK man, if FF that has years in the market and still hasn't caught up, I have no big hopes for "new" projects.
Exactly I'd even use Chrome before I'd ever touch Brave.
brave search otoh is pretty gud. I believe they even do their own indexing.
Would you mind giving some context? Ive never used Brave, but my dad does. In which sense is it a "scam"? Would want him to switch if its terrible
People care more about CEO's opinion on politics and hate Web3 crypto more than they understand technical browser stuff.
Brave is far from perfect and the company had their contreveries but honestly if you disable all the cryptocrap and tweak it a tiny bit so it does not show you ads and feature you don't use it is the best chromium browser in regards to security and privacy.
Ungoogled chromium by default can't even compare, it's not crap but brave does so much more than it's better for the vast majority of users.
Good summary! Thank you!
Firefox is a monopoly's pet
all hail lynx

sed has left the chat
Y'all are seriously still using the internet?
AFAIK it hasn't been used as an OS yet (meaning init - the thing you start after bootloader). Or a bootloader
Right?
