People keep recommending Brave, but I keep countering with Firefox. It's getting a lot harder to convince people when Firefox is doubling-down on BS like the expanding address bar, integrating articles/ads, telemetry, etc.
When I see Brave recommendations, they're primarily because of it's built-in ad-blocking. People value sanity. Don't introduce more visual distractions (essentially what the average person gets from an ad; they see it as a visual thing, they don't comprehend tracking and resource management like we do). Make Firefox clean, make it so that it can be easily recommended. When Chrome came out, people were excited because it was simple and sleek. It's okay to learn from competitors, don't let hubris be the downfall!
- sfink 6y agoI think a lot of people agree. And a lot of other people are pissed off about Firefox following Chrome's lead in stripping everything down visually. There's a solution, though -- as it happens, I happen to have the best opinion on this. Like, always the best. So really the Firefox designers should just ask me. I would think they would appreciate being able to confidently say that they're always doing the right thing?
