I use brave which is a chromium browser with all the tracking stuff turned off and a few ad blockers baked in. It also has some vpn and crypto wallet stuff built in but it’s not in your face so you can just ignore it.
This ad platform shouldn’t affect brave right? Should just be another thing the brave team are able to automatically switch off when the browser updates?
This should tell you all you need to know about the Brave browser. tl;dr it's a piece of shit scummy software helmed by a piece of shit scummy CEO. Just use Firefox.
I have been hearing about FFs imminent demise for about 20 years now...
And?
What does that matter?
This is not a popularity contest.
No, it isn't.
I have been hearing this shit for 20 years.
Google pays mozilla to keep it alive so they can side step anti-trust laws.
I hate to break it to you but google already dominate the web.
FF is not going anywhere.
well, you keep worrying about it.
I and the rest of us will keep using it.
Let's check back in 5-10 years.

As ironic as this sounds, Google can't let Firefox die because then it would become a monopoly
Firefox is too small for them to care, the only browser with a larger share is Safari (Webkit).
Firefox is the only web browser you should be using. Firefox.
Brave, Edge, Opera, only contribute to the Google monopoly, even though you are not using directly Chrome.
