Brave is the worst of all worlds in the modern browser space. I genuinely believe that it doesn't get much better than LibreWolf and uBlock if you value privacy and don't want to give in to Google - you probably don't need all of the stuff Brave is trying to sell to you.
- eterevsky 3y agoI've been using it for a couple of years and I'm quite happy with it. What I like: - In-browser adblocking, which is not dependent on the changes in extension API or extension policies. - Reader view, which is comparable to that in Safari. - Sidepanel with tabs. I also liked the idea of distributing the payment to the websites that I'm visiting, and I'm sad that this didn't pan out. Tangentially, I also like Brave Search, which is comparable to Google in quality, doesn't have ads and has nice AI summarization.
- blackfawn 3y agoDoes LibreWolf take the "Microsoft approach" like Firefox now does and abruptly force you to close the browser to complete an update, even if you are in the middle of a browsing session? I had other issues like memory leaks/bloat, but that was the last straw that pushed me away from Firefox. I have zero problems with Brave; I don't use the crypto bit (not for me) and I still use uBlock Origin with it as Brave + uBO seems to do the best job at blocking garbage that I've seen so far.
