Let's compare. Mozilla: installed a closed-source plugin once, and then apologised for it. Brave CEO: actively supports homophobic organisations, donates money to them, injects affiliate links to stores, whenever given a microphone will say something bigoted and homophobic. Yeah, it's totally the same exact issue with both browsers! permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Electricd@lemmybefree.net -4 points 1 year ago* Brave: injected affiliate links once, then apologised for it too. Developped a search engine to be less dependent on big companies Mozilla is spending money like crazy, just like Wikipedia, has little to no democratic system which makes people fork the stuff they make, and prefer to use the money from donation to buy trips all over the world to educate about privacy and shit while they proceed to keep adding more telemetry and BS in firefox They also make it close to impossible to install plugins outside their plugins website, which I've heard has some strict rules and take a lot of time to approve stuff.

I don't give a shit who he is. I barely give a shit who runs Mozilla. Brave and every other Chromium fork are at the mercy of Google to exist as an alternative to Google, which to me, defeats the point. Every bit of their effort would be better spent rolling their money over to donate to browser development rather than band-aids. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Electricd@lemmybefree.net 1 point 1 year ago Tradeoffs have to be made. Android is an example of that.. Chromium can be worked on by anyone, it's just that it's too costly to do permalink fedilink source parent
