Firefox

Daily reminder that Brave uses Chromium, an open source project where all the commits are approved or denied by Google devs.

I never liked or trusted Brave for what it claims it fights for

I think anyone who is already using Firefox knows very well why they wouldn't want to use Brave 🤷 (My main reasons were being a Chromium browser and having unwanted crypto features included.)

Edit: Oh yes, and the CEO's homophobia is not helping either...

Oh wow! I need to install this ultra bloated version of Chromium.

Desperate much??

Brave? The browser that hides ads and substitutes their own? The one that keeps you private from Google AdSense so they can sell your data themselves? The one that keeps their Chromium build lean, so that you don’t notice the crypto miner running along side of it?

The fucking PayPal Honey of browsers? When the fuck did they ever look good? They’re like the “Banzai Buddy” of the HTML5 era

"Forget the fox!"

... "Contains ads"

No, I don't think I will.

Not very professional.

It's not the 90s and they are not rivaling fast food chains.

Brave? You mean "browser for bigots"?

Forget the Lion

After installing Brave I was getting some kind of failed login popup in my GNOME desktop environment. Uninstalled it and the popup disappeared. It gave me the heeby jeebies about Brave.

used brave for like a year, saved up however much in their stupid coin and when i went to get it, my browser reset how many ads i saw.

Contains Ads

I don't know why anyone ever installed Brave

I don't know much about brave except that its chromium based and apparently removes web ads as its main feature. Why are they running ads? Why do I keep getting this browser recommended? How the fuck do they make money to be able to target me with this info? Something is off and I don't like it. I feel like the pressure to use brave isnt coming to me organically so I'm staying clear of it. I just have a bad feeling and I'll trust my gut on this.

Firefox is my main browser, but I occasionally need a Chromium browser for technical reasons. I had been using Brave - note the past tense there. Any suggestions for my new secondary browser?

I have been using Brave for the last year and I did like it as a mobile browser. But today I noticed that when I was searching about abortion and etopic pregnancy (fact checking a really dumb article) that all of a sudden their AI crap was throwing "no results available" errors. I checked some other left leaning topics and sure enough it no longer gives you AI results. So I immediately uninstalled that shit from my phone because fuck them.

Fuck Brave, it's based on Chromium and contains crypto BS.

Brave has never had a good look.

"Fire the Fox" would have been a better slogan

I'm not seeing this

One feels there is an allegory for "too stupid to be afraid" buried in here.

"Was getting tired Brave, and noticed they mentioned Firefox in their ads. Was curious what that was and upon launching Firefox, immediately I felt something, my disappointment is no longer immeasurable, and my day is no longer ruined!"

brave = 0/5 🤮

Firefox = 6/5 😎

Guess you're outside the EU or something? Cause it looks different over here, Firefox isn't mentioned here. Also they're at 4.9 instead of 4.7 for some reason. Either way, fuck brave.

I ditched this crap years ago. Fuck this Trojan horse.

It's technically correct with all of these but extremely disingenuous.

The same Brave founded by the anti-LGBTQ+ & anti-DEI CEO that doesn't believe that gay people should have the same rights as straight people? Color me shocked!

Android app person here. They used that title in an A/B test to see if it would help them get more installs for when people searched "Firefox". That is why 1. They picked the words "fire" and "fox", and 2. Why you're not seeing it.

lol
