Brave has crypto ads and a lot of other unnecessary stuff built in. They've also made questionable decisions in the past, like inserting referral codes in links. If anything, Brave is a worse choice than Firefox in terms of privacy even after enabling this new ad suggestions feature.
- soundnote 5y agoUnnecessary like a native adblocker that won't get fucked over by Manifest v3, tracker blocking, anti-fingerprinting tech and defaulting to privacy friendly search engines?
- dividedbyzero 5y agoThat sounds like Brave is worth a look. Thanks for mentioning these things.
- ayushnix 5y ago> native adblocker that won't get fucked over by Manifest v3 neither is uBO on Firefox and uBO is more effective than anything else out there including Brave's adblocking I'd also be interested to know exactly how Brave intends to bypass Manifest v3 since it's a change in Chromium itself which is what Brave is based on. > tracker blocking also built in to Firefox, gets even better with uBO > anti-fingerprinting tech Any article or blog post to show how effective it is? Most anti-fingerprinting tech ends up making a browser even more fingerprint-able. The only browser that successfully achieves anti-fingerprinting is Tor Browser and it relies on a lot of people using an exactly same config of Tor Browser > defaulting to privacy friendly search engines? Changing search engines is trivially easy in Firefox.
