Firefox

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

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...

"Forget the fox!"

... "Contains ads"

No, I don't think I will.

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

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

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

Contains Ads

I don't know why anyone ever installed Brave

Not very professional.

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

Brave? You mean "browser for bigots"?

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.

Desperate much??

Forget the Lion

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

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.

Brave has never had a good look.

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.

"Fire the Fox" would have been a better slogan

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?

"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 😎

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!

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

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.

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

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'm not seeing this

Broke one of the golden rules of advertising (at least the advertising lessons I learned from an old advertising guy I knew a long time ago)

Never mention your competition in your advertising .... because every time you do, you've given them free advertising.

Hahahhaah. If they are so desperate they are trying to knock off the 10 or so users on Firefox they must really be in dire straights.
