    I wonder how many of the people hating on Brave realize it was founded by one of the co-founders of Mozilla 🤔

    Brave is a great alternative to chrome, and it doesn’t require any extensions to reach its full potential.

      we do, we also realise that it was founded only because he got kicked out of Mozilla for being a bigoted piece of shit

        That doesn’t stop Brave from being a superior product. Not that I’m defending the guy, I agree he’s a pos. But these browsers are both free as in beer and speech, so why would you kneecap yourself by using a sub-par engine? Brave ships ready to go out of the box. With Firefox, you have to add extensions just to get it up to Brave’s level.

          so why would you kneecap yourself by using a sub-par engine?

          So I can be free from chromium !!!

          And the kneecap argument is really really really debatable.

          The subjectiveness of it being a superior product aside.

          Brave is chromium under the hood and therefore contributes to the rendering engine homogeneity that leaves Google in control of web standards.

          Iirc they are keeping some support for manifest v2 , for now. It’ll be interesting to see how that plays out for them both financially and from a technical upkeep point of view.

          I’d guess it doesn’t last long, but haven’t looked at it hard enough to have an informed opinion on it.

          It’s true that you need extensions on FF to have some of Brave’s more advanced features. However, I consider this to be a good thing because you can skip their Web3/AI/Ads garbage and only get the features that matter like Forgetful Browsing (through Cookie AutoDelete) for a possibly lowered attack surface. Any Chromium fork, no matter how against big tech it claims to be, is still at the mercy of Google at the end of the day. Nobody is going to spend their time or resources patching Manifest V2 back into the browser after it’s completely gone from the upstream.
