I almost feel like there’s some type of coordinated sabotage going on against Firefox.
There’s zero issues using the browser - performance, extensions and websites all work as expected.
The “privacy scandals” were extremely overblown pieces of nothing, especially compared to what Brave, Chrome and Edge do.
And yes there are a million reasons to criticize how Mozilla spends their money… But I don’t see how that would mean somehow Firefox is bad for the user?
Hell, Lemmy and Reddit (and “tech” YouTubers like Chris Titus) are so anti-Firefox and into hax0r l33t browsers that they heavily recommended a Chromium fork that turns out was maintained by a prepubescent boy hiding furry porn in the builds.
I simply don’t get it. Use Firefox, it works, it’s private unless you’re a major target like Snowden, it’s fast, it’s been around for over a decade and will be for a decade more.
Nope, not going to use anything that may bring corrupt Mozilla any visibility or revenue, not even a fork with the same use agent. I prefer using a Chromium browser.
The lesser of the two evils for me is Chromium with inbuilt adblocker (and an adblockinng DNS on top of it). Mozilla can (should) die in a fire, as far as I am concerned.
It’s telling the guy went “what did Brave do now?”, though.
Maybe telling that we have a couple meme opinions in our head for these recurring arguments and we don’t particularly consider anything else, but telling nonetheless.
ahh, I never saw that one advertised myself, lucky me. The only Chromium fork with heavy sponsorship and clown-show-antics surrounding it I could think of was Brave.

Cannot understand this point of view at all. Surely you go with the lesser of two evils?

How tf is Mozilla more corrupt than Google?
Can I get some info on the furry porn in browser builds FOR NO REASON BUT SO I CAN UNDERSTAND THE CONTEXT
you know, I’ve heard a lot of shit about Brave, but I must’ve missed that one – or is this another, different, heavily sponsored Chromium fork?
Thorium had the furry porn. I use it for work as I need a Chromium browser for compatibility. Librewolf for everything else.

brave has the cryptomining bs, and scam the owner is homophobic, plus brave was or is funded by PETER THIEL, theres a potential conflict of interest.
but some users use brave because of its anti-fingerprinting, which helps evade some reddit filters.
Yeah I’ve heard all of that jazz, it was the stuff I quoted I’d not heard about.
