At this point Brave is the power-user choice. And Mozilla show no signs of slowing down their self inflicted decline.
I miss using Firefox, but I don't miss the dread-churn of notices like this.
- arghwhat 6y agoQuteBrowser is the power-user choice. Brave seems more like the "consumer disliking ads/google" choice.
- llimos 6y agoThis is starting to sound like https://xkcd.com/378/ https://xkcd.com/378/
- arghwhat 6y agoUnfortunately, nc has become a slightly less user-friendly web-browser after the HTTPS everywhere movement. It's tricky to do the math in your head before the timeout hits. In all seriousness, very few power-user browsers exists, to the point where QuteBrowser is the only fully-functional one I can think of... Which is sad. Brave is "just" a completely regular browser owned by someone else + a few bonus features.
- eager_noob 6y agoNyxt browser is also interesting from the point of view of power users. https://nyxt.atlas.engineer/ https://nyxt.atlas.engineer/
- torstenvl 6y agoIronic, since xkcd is another awesome thing from the Internet of 2005-2015 that is now a mere husk of its former glory - just like Firefox.
- poisonborz 6y agoBrowsing is one of the most crucial software on one's system, I wouldn't trust Brave's track record with their affiliate linking, url-forwarding and blockchain sheanigans.
- rataata_jr 6y agoBrave seems like a scam with their coins and ads.
- ntp85 6y agoWhich are both completely optional and opt-in.
- Ancapistani 6y agoI use Brave on Windows and am happy with it - but I don't see how it's the "power users' choice". At the end of the day it's just Chromium with a couple of privacy- and blockchain-oriented features bolted on.
