I dont use Brave and will never use it. But this sounds not logical.
Their ad system and affiliate URLs are not anti-privacy per-se. Its not as easy.
I will not use it as its
For a lot of people, way too many people, using Brave is a political statement that is paradoxically supposedly against political statements. It's a spite choice that justifies the cryptogrifting, spyware, and the horrid political views of its owner.
Firefox + Startpage is really cool. I like how their searched don't include the search parameters in the url + the built in proxy
Startpage is "cool" as long as you're not using a proxy/VPN, and otherwise they tell you to GTFO (without an opportunity to complete a capcha or smth). Even more, they can tell you the very same thing if you're sharing a connection with lots of ppl (e.g. a dorm or a public WiFi, probably). Finally, (heard it from surveillance report, but didn't care to check myself since I've stopped using them 'cause of proxies long before) they don't interact with journalists, and there's not much known about their parent company
I used to use Firefox but have been using Brave cause I was getting tired of having to open Edge every time there would be an addon or tool that was Chrome exclusive. So unless there's other options for privacy focused chromium browsers I'm just gonna stick with brave.
What addons are you using that are Chromium exclusive? Also, Ungoogled Chromium exists.
Used to use Brave, but it became more and more bloated as time went on. Also, I realized that I wasn't opposing Google as I wanted, but choosing an alternative of Google, as brave is still based on chromium. I enjoy Firefox very much now (don't know about the performance issues people talk about at all cause it seems better than all chrome, brave, opera, and opera GX I used in the past) although I'm looking into even further simplifying and privatizing that. Any suggestions for modified Firefox browsers that keep the functionality would be appreciated.
