Can't believe people always use this crypto-spam browser.

Same, I was surprised brave is so popular.

[–] Valarie@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 3 months ago

I use it for school shit because they don't work with iceraven(my preferred mobile Firefox fork)

[–] superglue@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I use it to pirate sports streams and thats pretty much it. It just works better than Firefox for some reason.

[–] JayGray91@piefed.social 15 points 3 months ago

Probably because it's chromium based and the sites are chromium optimized

That's my opinion at least

Brave and Firefox are very competitive when it comes to pushing unnecessary "features" on their users. (Remember when Mozilla bought an NFT and AI company to put a shopping toolbar in their browser?)

Comparing brave and fire fox is like comparing librewolf and chrome. When people suggest using a privacy browser other than brave, they’re not saying “just use fire fox”.

[–] XLE@piefed.social 3 points 3 months ago

I'm just speaking on the two most popular browsers according to the survey - LibreWolf is in a league of its own for sure.

Well, it does do a fantastic job of removing ads and reducing fingerprinting.

[–] Samsy@lemmy.ml 16 points 3 months ago (3 children)

So does Librewolf. What's the benefit of brave? Chrome-based? Checked chromium from time to time and don't think chrome is superior over Firefox.

[–] hellfire103@lemmy.ca 6 points 3 months ago

Neither do I. I use Mullvad Browser, which is based on Firefox.

Brave has its own content blocking system, which is on-par with uBO and better than uBO Lite. I tested it myself a while back, and Cover Your Tracks, Fingerprint.com, and CreepJS indicated that it was incredibly difficult to fingerprint: moreso than Librewolf, but slightly less so than Tor/Mullvad.
