In light of Mozilla’s recent policy changes, we no longer feel assured that Firefox aligns with our commitment to protect your privacy. This prompted us to revisit the choice of default web browser in Zorin OS 17.3.

    “we replaced the browser with ad ware, that we even admit we had to ship settings to minimise its malware effect”

    Brave marketing has gone crazy to convince people it’s less dodgy than Firefox. Come on!

    Seems like a strange choice. If anything i would’ve expected them to just use a firefox fork or something.

      Zen is literally the best browser around right now, I do understand the UI isn’t for everybody but if you vibe with it, it rocks

    “Mozilla has a bit been shady lately, so we are making the difficult decision to change our default browser to something significantly more shady. We are confident our users will feel safer knowing their data is in even worse hands than before"

    Well, Brave is -regardless of the companies decisions- still a damn good browser with many build in essentials (TOR, IPFS, Bittorrent…), so, while I PERSONALLY don’t use this anymore (currently I use an heavily patched suckless surf and Dillo) I don’t see much wrong in including this in a distribution especially catering to users switching from windows.

    I’m actually not familiar with this distro. But if I installed a Linux distro, and it have brave installed. I would immediately switch.

      Brave is a fairly recent outlier, and while it isn’t quite proprietary, it stinks a fair bit of something capitalist/crypto.

    I have ff installed but uses librewolf for most uses. Should I be worried if ff is in my system? Somebody please explain.
