> Unless things have changed, there are things about Firefox that I want that Chromium doesn't have.vCan I disable history entirely in Chrome? Last time I looked, nope. Can I have multi-account containers? Nope. Can I block autoplaying videos? Nope. Can my ad-blocking not be nerfed? Nope. Can I not have the settings flags get taken away so frequently? Nope. I'm sure there's other things as well. > Can I disable history entirely in Chrome? on brave, you can make it completely remove the browser history on every start. > Can I have multi-account containers? I agree, its a great feature of Firefox, the closet thing on chromium is multi profile windows > Can I block autoplaying videos? I think brave does this by default, not sure though. > Can my ad-blocking not be nerfed? Brave shields is based on ublock origin, and its a part of the browser, not limited by any extension API. > Can I not have the settings flags get taken away so frequently? Im not sure you can say this is am advantage of Firefox after the many settings they removed.

> on brave, you can make it completely remove the browser history on every start. I guess that's fine, but what I want is no browser history at all except for back-forward navigation purposes. In Firefox, there's an about:config flag that completely turns off history when set to false. Not sure which one. The effect is that nothing ever shows up in History or History > All History, with the exception of the Recently Closed Tabs section, and the URL bar autocomplete doesn't reference anything that you've navigated away from. Not that I'm doing anything bad on the internet, but what I found is not holding info about history in memory or on disk made things a little snappier and I just prefer what I do to be ephemeral unless otherwise opted in to. And yeah, I know that cookies and local storage are a thing, but that's really not the point. > Brave shields is based on ublock origin, and its a part of the browser, not limited by any extension API. Nice, I didn't know that. > Im not sure you can say this is am advantage of Firefox after many settings theg removed. Yeah, Firefox has a similar problem but my perception is it happens less often than with Chromium/Chrome.
