With the number of people concerned about privacy, it is a wonder why chrome is even popular.

Was using Brave and after reading things about it here, just switched back to Firefox!

Love Firefox, but if you want Chrome get Chromium or Brave.

What’s wrong with Brave? Does this effect Brave?

I switched to FF a few years ago when my Chrome was showing some bloat. FF works for almost everything, but from time to time some sites, forms, e-commerce, etc., have issues with non-Chrome browsers. In that event, I use Edge.

I switched from chrome to Firefox 5 years ago but for some reason, Firefox loading acts weird and video playback also is weird...Eventually moved to Vivaldi and I'm pretty happy wit it so far.

Been using Firefox for a long, very long time.

Okay I’m going to step into it. I’ve been liking Vivaldi recently as a browser. Is that screwed too because it’s based on chromium? Or am I safe for now?

I've always wondered how Mozilla / Firefox makes money? I see that its a non-profit. Looks like sponsored links and content on their new tab?

I switched to mull which I think is basically a fork of Firefox when bromite seemed to be dead.

No complaints it works great.
