Wow brave that is a chromium take less than firefox who is not supposed to take lot of data (supposed privacy friendly in the general mind )
Both are open source. Brave takes Chromium and disables most tracking. TOR takes Firefox and disables all tracking.
The Chromium vs Gecko debate is not about data collection, but about control of web standards.
I'm really, really not up to speed on privacy stuff (sadly), though I do use some more secure options for some of my services.
I read somewhere that brave was supposedly just google in a trenchcoat, so I switched to Firefox (yeah...) because that was supposedly better.
Should I switch back?
Use something like Fennec or Librewolf
Thanks, I'll look into those
Firefox isn't privacy friendly at all
