  for anyone who can't parse the ridiculously reductionist and biased language, he means brendan eich, who created JS and led mozilla for quite a while. brave is a good browser, and unlike firefox, doesn't leak memory with tons of tabs. you should use it.

    I have hundreds to thousands of tabs at any given time. If Firefox has issues with those, then one of my plugins must be fixing it well enough for me not to notice.

  Yes, let's ignore all of the contributions from the vast and varied team of smart people that also contribute to a product that is no longer directly tied to "bro".

Please don’t use Chromium based browsers. Support real alternatives like Firefox.

  I have no idea why I'm supposed to care what it's based on. Does this make any difference at all to the tracking?

    Fair question. I think in the long run it does. Chromium development is supported by Google and could be closed any time, leaving Chromium based browsers unable to pick up the slack. Without viable alternatives to Chromium people would return to Chrome.

      Google does some stupid things, but Chromium is "too big to fail" at this point and it's too essential to products like Android which are also at that same point. But hypothetically if Google stopped contributing to Chromium the project would be forked and it would live on. Frankly, Google removing themselves from Chromium would fix the one major complaint a lot of people have with it.

        I wonder how that works if Google wants to kill the forks. There are a bunch of important components like widevine that can be withheld to put pressure on the project.

      Google also could cut off Mozilla's funding in a heartbeat. Since their management is incompetent (but their engineers are awesome and I love them), they haven't done any serious attempts to diversify their sources of income, or at least to put some of that cash away for a rainy day. Firefox is just as dependent on Google as are any of the Chromium rebuilds. (I am writing this as someone who has been using Firefox since about 2006 non-stop, seeing its market share drop by a factor of ten in that time).
