Can’t believe people always use this crypto-spam browser.
Well, it does do a fantastic job of removing ads and reducing fingerprinting.
So does Librewolf. What’s the benefit of brave? Chrome-based? Checked chromium from time to time and don’t think chrome is superior over Firefox.
Chromium is generally more secure than firefox.
Sources?
Wow I got downvoted a lot on that I thought it was a generally agreed upon fact. Source (graphene os)
I still use firefox btw because I prefer it for many other reasons but chromium is definetely more secure.
One source from a sadly biased author. I am honestly too lazy to aggregate some numbers for CVEs to find out what’s the truth but I am sure that it is not an inherent quality of chromium to be more secure.
Neither do I. I use Mullvad Browser, which is based on Firefox.
Brave has its own content blocking system, which is on-par with uBO and better than uBO Lite. I tested it myself a while back, and Cover Your Tracks, Fingerprint.com, and CreepJS indicated that it was incredibly difficult to fingerprint: moreso than Librewolf, but slightly less so than Tor/Mullvad.
That said, however, PrivacyTests.org indicates that Librewolf blocks more tracking technologies than Brave, so it’s possible things have changed since I last experimented with browsers other than Tor and Mullvad.
Brave and Firefox are very competitive when it comes to pushing unnecessary “features” on their users. (Remember when Mozilla bought an NFT and AI company to put a shopping toolbar in their browser?)
Comparing brave and fire fox is like comparing librewolf and chrome. When people suggest using a privacy browser other than brave, they’re not saying “just use fire fox”.
I use it to pirate sports streams and thats pretty much it. It just works better than Firefox for some reason.
Same, I was surprised brave is so popular.
I use it for school shit because they don’t work with iceraven(my preferred mobile Firefox fork)
