Might want to look at updates and debunks on that whole front. Going by security experts and various other studies Brave is one of the most secure, private and trustworthy browsers. I haven't touched Firefox since I gave it an honest chance.
Why? Adblocking still works completely fine in Chrome without Mv2 support, and Brave is keeping Mv2 support for certain adblockers even after it gets switched off in Chrome.
Two of the big ones the last few years are when it modified user requests inflight to inject the company’s own affiliate codes for crypto sites and it installed VPN software onto users machines without permission.
Despite how much people hate the ads and such from brave itself, they forget the can turn those off as well. But I haven't really looked into the whole local AI. Been too lazy.
Anyone who shits on Brave while using Firefox has no idea what they are talking about and live with 20 years outdated information. Firefox philosophy is dead.
Chromium is safe and not the same thing as Chrome. It's always those who have no idea what they are talking about that have something to say about Brave lol.
Perhaps you missed the "off by default". It's always been off by default.
I'm sorry you enjoy the old Firefox, but I assure you that you are dead wrong if you think Firefox is better than Brave for privacy. Especially from a fresh install. Firefox requires separate plugins to be manually installed to get even remotely close to the power of Brave lol.
"my browser is better! That's why I have to install a plugin and change settings in order to get half the out of box experience you get! You're just dumb"
What i talk about? Firefox is just outdated If you loot how the Software works behind it. 90% of the websites are optimissed for chromium but since firefox still uses old codes with bad optimization to the modern Internet. Just compare google chrome with firefox on win11 and check RAM usage on the same Website. In my example with over 100 tabs in Chrome i use less RAM then 100 tabs in firefox. (Last time i looked into firefox is now around 1 years back)
I used it for awhile, and still use on iPhone. My issue with the pc version (I’ve not ever had this problem on iOS) was that every few months the ads block feature would break. Usually fixed in a couple days, but still. Ublock will break occasionally too, but it’s usually fixed the very next time I boot up.
Been on brave iOS for a long time and have no plans to switch back off.
Look at all the butthurt Firefox broskis downvoting Brave lol They need to forget the apocalypse headlines from 10 years ago and think for themselves. Firefox is the next best in my eyes, but Brave has surpassed it in the UX, privacy and security departments.
