Firefox says it will keep supporting uBlock Origin even as Microsoft Edge and other Chromium browsers phase it out under Manifest V3.

May I present to you the hypocrisy of Lemmy?
Boo proprietary software, boo crypto bros

But brave? Insert spongebob wallet meme

    I only use Brave when some site is genuinely broken on Firefox and actually needs Chromium. I only do this because of its built in ad blocker. I'm open to other suggestions. My default is Firefox.

    Vivaldi is pretty neat, but as far as I understand it's a closed source Chromium browser. Its my back-up one for when Zen(/Firefox) is having issues with a page, which thankfully is infrequent.

    The main reason I steer clear from Brave is because of its founder (former Mozilla employee) who has donated to an anti-gay bill among other things.

    when it came to credit cards, i decided against trusting brave and its attention tracking crypto currency fabrication. tried edge to that point too. Ditched it a few days later. had a cult feel as does many softwares. firefox can't fill in a cc form so not thrilled with status quo. if a site won't work with my browser+ad-blocking tweaks, fuck that site. brave wanted to be a new crypto currency and felt like a pump and dump waiting to happen. IE always tried to use feature lock-in to force loyalty. run away. there's always lynx.
