Oh wow! I need to install this ultra bloated version of Chromium.
“Forget the fox!”
… “Contains ads”
No, I don’t think I will.
unfortunately firefox numbers are still going down, the manufest v3 bounce never really happened
It’s on Chromium so I will not use them
Only reason I use it is because it’s seemingly the only browser on iOS that blocks YouTube ads, and allows for background play without paying for Premium.
If anyone knows how to do the same via Firefox (iOS), I’m all ears!
Orion Browser can use Firefox extensions on iOS.
Is this the one?
Yep!
There’s a Safari extension in the App Store called vinegar that can do those things. AdGuard is another Safari extension that works well as an adblocker.
These two are exactly what I use on iOS also
Thanks, I’ll check them out!
Based on the description, this is the one you’re referring to?
Wait is this extension not available me on iOS? https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/android/addon/video-background-play-fix/
No extension on iOS because apple prohibits browser engines from being distributed in their apps. Every browser there is a reskin of Safari
Eww, man apple is sleezy.
no extensions on ios
It’s technically correct with all of these but extremely disingenuous.
Kind of funny they list their built-in, paid VPN as a positive feature and not a negative. Maybe they were running out of good things to say about… Themselves.
Granted, Mozilla also shot themselves in the foot by saying Firefox was better for not blocking ads by default, but that’s a different story for a different day
Out of the ling of things I will never trust, free VPN is near the top of the list
The real good: Baked in Youtube ad-blocking with a full dev team playing keep up with youtube Better at anti-fingerprinting Built-in mediocre TOR support.
The real bad: They will sell your data. They will sell your data from their VPN
The rest of their bad is optional. Don’t use them for search and don’t use their crypto.
If you’re going to use them, at least keep a fully equivalently outfitted copy of firefox, you don’t want to get stuck if they finally decide to turn full evil.
if they finally decide to turn full evil.
Yeah this is the brave experience. Free and open source product that behaves as advertised… from a company that acts like they’re perpetually on the brink of fucking you over. Really hope this doesn’t happen, brave’s approach to antifingerprinting is actually quite interesting and completely different to what we see in the firefox-based hardened browsers.
I honestly really like what they do with the fingerprinting. But it’s just a straight trade. Now amazon can’t follow me directly, but Brave will certainly sell Amazon the info that I shopped at Home Depot looking for discontinued air filters :)
FF fingerprinting with UO and privacy badger are by no means bad, they are actually quite acceptable.
What does privacy badger do that isn’t covered by UO? Is it worth it to install privacy badger if I already use a browser like librewolf that nukes all data every time it’s restarted?
It’s EFF’s tracker blocker. All they have is their name, so I have a lot of trust in them. I use it in concert with chrome and firefox based browsers. In FF it tightens up the tracking a bit. Doesn’t eat much ram/time.
I mean, you could do this with anything
nazism:
-✅️ Very terrifying and intimidating uniforms
Every other ideology:
-❌️ Does not have terrifying and intimidating uniforms*
*According to opinions of career nazis
This is what Brave is doing 🙄
Well, actually it should be:
-❌️ Limited or no terrifying and intimidating uniforms
Firefox does block trackers by default, but apparently that’s “limited protection”, according to who the fuck knows, so it gets the ❌.
Points 1 and 2 are absolutely on FF. You can also set it to private by default. This is not a factual graphic.
on Fx*
Firefox started blocking YouTube ads without plugins?
You can also set it to
Grandma isn’t going to go into security settings. I really with FF would just make it the default on install.
Everything in that list can easily be made the same, but they’re not the same without some basic knowledge of wanting it.
Grandma isn’t going to use Brave either.
Nor is she going to click on ads to “earn” crypto coins.
Fox around and find out
Personally I never even considered installing it because of its stupid name.
Forget the Lion
I tried it a few years ago. Ditched it because it’s just another chromium browser.
Firefox has been my main for about 6 years now.
I fell for it because Al Swiegerts book: “Automate the boring stuff” used it in the webscrape sample.
After that I just kept using it. And felt justified in my choice when I realized the only other browsers left are chrome and Safari.
I just learned that Safari is a fork on Konquorer. So, that’s interesting.
The same Brave founded by the anti-LGBTQ+ & anti-DEI CEO that doesn’t believe that gay people should have the same rights as straight people? Color me shocked!
And they made a donation to an anti gay marraige org on mozillas behalf.
Incorrect, he was CEO in 2014
WTF‽ Were they trying to frame Mozilla as anti-LGBT?

Yep, Brave is the butt-hurt edgelord of browsers.
Braves like the only browser that works for some piracy sites, the rest (with extensions) you get a ton of ads, broken sitesx or get stuck at some link shorteners. Vfx med specifically I tried every browser. For regular browsing I like firefox but annoyingly enough brave handles video a lot better never crashing, youtube is always fast with hella tabs, I’m just used to and stuck with firefox because I have so many tabs/windows open rnow
I have been using Brave for the last year and I did like it as a mobile browser. But today I noticed that when I was searching about abortion and etopic pregnancy (fact checking a really dumb article) that all of a sudden their AI crap was throwing “no results available” errors. I checked some other left leaning topics and sure enough it no longer gives you AI results. So I immediately uninstalled that shit from my phone because fuck them.
Is not having AI results really a bad thing?
I’m guessing it’s more about the clear bias on display, wherein certain topics are suppressed
Given the ceo this shouldn’t come as a shock.
Not at all. I never wanted to see AI and it kept turning itself back on this was just the final push for me to uninstall it.
Daily reminder that Brave uses Chromium, an open source project where all the commits are approved or denied by Google devs.
Chromium?
No-ium
I ditched this crap years ago. Fuck this Trojan horse.
