    No idea why people use and recommend Brave when Firefox exists. It’s full of crypto and other unnecessary add-ons out of the box.

      Since it is based on Chromium, but promises to keep the new Google tracking out in the future and maintain compatibility with extensions, I can see why it would be recommended. But only as a backup to access a site that won’t load in Firefox.

      we’re back to the days when Firefox first came out, except instead of some websites only working with IE, they’ll only work in Chrome/Edge.

      Firefox still doesn’t have vertical tabs which I’ve found really useful for my workflow right now, so I use a fork called Pulse. Don’t want to use any extensions for it when Pulse and other forks do it natively.

        There’s a million add-ons that add this, isn’t there? I have one installed at home that basically makes it into what arc has

          Probably, but between the disabling of userChrome.css (even if you can enable it via about:config) and a possible conflict between other addons I use, I’m comfy with my Pulse setup.

          All of that Firefox has its equivalents as well as some of that being untrue as they’re search engines not websites etc

              BR = Ads like all browsers except off by default and it pays you

              BT = Nothing, not part of the browser

              BS = That’s just a fucking search engine. What browser doesn’t come with one Lol

              BW = FF also has “bloat” like phishing protection except the wallet is actually useful and isn’t just a censorship tool

            Brave has adware and bloat preinstalled, firefox doesn’t even have something similar to this.

                Why are you gaslighting so hard. Just lookup what adware is. It has literally preinstalled crypto marketing widget that you need to disable or smth and also provide a opt-in ads for crypto solution that has opt-out “Gift the tokens to the page that has no wallet”

                  When one makes a claim like that when nothing indicated such things, its accepted in the community of behavioral analysis that it was a projection. Bravephobes love making shit up Lol
