What makes firefox better than brave?
- Sunspark 1y agoFor me, I like being able to set a default font/size/colour for all websites as an override. Chromium browsers don't do that out of the box. I like that it quarantines most of Facebook's shenanigans with cookies and the like. I can't compare Brave's adblock to uBlock Origin, but it's probably good enough.
- vachina 1y agoFirefox is not a Chromium fork
- esskay 1y agoAnd that makes it better why? Come on, this is pretty low hanging fruit.
- vachina 1y agoBecause it is an independent codebase free from any design decisions from Google. Chromium derivatives cannot stray far from Google’s interests.
- esskay 1y ago> Chromium derivatives cannot stray far from Google’s interests. Says who? It's opensource and has a BSD license, you can literally do whatever you want with it.
- Kwpolska 1y agoIt doesn't do crypto bullshit, for example.
- esskay 1y agoThe "crypto bullshit" which is a notice on the start page with an option to permanently remove and turn it off. I swear people slating Brave here haven't actually even installed it. Oh and its opensource, not like theres anything hiding in the shadows here, you can go and look at the code behind how its all working for yourself if you're that paranoid.
- swinglock 1y agoIt supports keeping long term history so you can find a page you visited years ago from the history search in the address bar. Chrome/Google likes when you have to search for it and Brave has inherited that.
