so what you want people to use opera or Chromnius
None of these. Use Firefox.
think before you post, you assumed i didn't use Firefox
u implied it, einstein, when u suggested the only options are chromium based
Dude! Name calling, so cool.
You're right, Einstein is a name... 🤔
wow, sarcasm, how nice
i was calling them einstein sarcastically, and therefore it would be considered insulting. however, my comment was in fact intended to be an insult. /srs
maybe it was silly, but i was trying to be metaironic or whatever in that comment /srs
this thread wouldn't exist if you didn't say don't use brave
Use a fork of firefox
Or just use firefox?
Stock Firefox is almost as bad as Google Chrome
Idk wtf you're saying. You mean stock firefox as in firefox with no settings changed? If so, it's not great but in no way as bad as chrome. That's just a ridiculous statement. That being said, hardened Firefox is fine and it's not very hard to do. By harden i mean common sense tweaks. I don't use arkenfox or anything. I think it's overkill at that point.
I wouldn't say arkenfox is overkill. It's the easiest way to get rid of all the spyware that comes with Firefox by default.
What spyware....
on mobile yes same for brave but much much less
what?
Think they might be having a stroke or something...
