Convince me to use Firefox over Brave (lemmy.fmhy.ml)

I've liked Firefox in the past on school computers, but lately I've been using brave on all my devices.

I love Brave, with its built in adblockers PLUS the ability to install more on top of it, so you can turn one off and still have protection. It feels pretty streamlined.

As someone who pirates stuff pretty frequently too, all of its pop up blockers make me feel more safe.

Should I make a switch to Firefox, and if so, why?

I had the same dilemma and I've made the switch for one particular reason - my eyes! Chromium font rendering adds some awful blur around each letter and this literally burns my eyes. There might be a way to turn the blur off... IDK.

That said, Brave is an awesome browser. From the Chromium world this is the only thing you can use with peace of mind. Don't feel guilty or ashamed, or whatever, if you stick with Brave.
