Haven't used Firefox in years, would need to check what's new.
But I've been enjoying Brave. Built in blockers for ads and trackers, built in tor, and a very interesting rewards system to help content creators and honestly, so far I recommend it.
- Andrew_nenakhov 5y agoFor the sake of fighting browser engines monoculture, I'd recommend you NOT using Brave, even for all the goodies and niceties in the world.
- aembleton 5y agoWhat's wrong with a browser engine monoculture? It'd make development simpler as you could just test against that one engine.
- BiteCode_dev 5y agoWe have been down this road before in 2000, so we know it leads to the total opposite of "make development simpler". When IE6 became the engine mono culture, it was the best. But then it stopped innovating, because it didn't need to. It also pushed moves that were only for the good of Micorosoft, since they had monopoly, trying to make the web a less open place. It was a pain to develop for, a pain to debug, and a capricious master. Google has shown they can be very naughty as soon as they got power over something. Learn from history. Do not give them that power.
- marcosdumay 5y agoYou mean what's wrong with Google controlling the web standards?
- 5560675260 5y agoThis is an important concern, but I'm afraid that this ship has sailed with Firefox.
- Andrew_nenakhov 5y agoThen just use it everywhere. We don't have other ships, anyway.
- kylehotchkiss 5y agoNice to see some advocacy for brave here. With the built-in crypto turned off (not for me), it’s a really nice browsing experience that has done a good job keeping up with upstream improvements in chromium. I’ve used the developer tools in brave at work for years now and have no issue seeing things at parity with developers on my team using chrome.
