I actually recently switched from brave to Firefox
It's going pretty nice so far Plus I love the customization open source stuff always has
Look up Firefox CSS customizations. It's amazing how much you can tailor.
I thought brave ended up having privacy issues? Is this no longer the case? I just recently switched to ff after being a chrome user for so long (went from FF to chrome long ago)
Brave is like Apple. Privacy is just a marketing tactic.
Lol so what I read was correct lol
FF isn't private out the box either.
People believe what they want.
But, you are correct.
Not necessarily because FF is bad, but because the internet and web standards are often stupid and not privacy friendly.
Webrtc? Great! (But, by default, it leaks your real IP address even with a VPN). WebGL, web GPU, etc. Sketchy not privacy friendly standards
But, again. At least FF allows obfuscation either by fingerprint blocking or masking or other config settings. But.. it is tedious. And they change flags and flag names constantly.
FF at least allows you to mod it so you can use it without leaks.
What irks me is all the telemetry. And this new deal they call fog.
And the impossible to get rid of add-ons I never asked for. No, I don't want screenshots built in. Nor amazon, or google, or eBay, or Normandy or opt out studies
After all the tweaks I make manually (arkenfox user.js is nice, too) it ends up well over a hundred settings to get what I want functionality and privacy wise.
And, yet, it is still the absolute best of the browsers.
(Tor, mull, and librefox as well)
