I'm sorry that not everyone from my instance believes that Firefox is the only option ๐
Dude, there is degoogled chromium, and various other blink engine choices, but touting brave as a "superior" option? Oof. Big oof.
On the gecko side of things, there are a ton of great choices as well. All of them are better in every single way than brave.
Because it objectively IS. It passes privacy tests in so many areas where others fail and I'm not just talking about those privacy test sites, I'm talking tests we can run ourselves. It's fine if you don't like Brave but don't let your emotions get in the way of the fact that it is, by default, the best option for privacy out of the box. Sure, you CAN harden Firefox or use Librewolf but even those don't always succeed in passing those tests like Brave does.
Bro. Be better.
"Objectively"
"Superior"
Your use of these words make me think that you don't understand what they mean. Go ahead, use brave all you want. Big oof.
It IS. It's a fact. You can run the tests yourself.
Smh.
