The Chrome team has since added new features in response and is ready to disable old Manifest V2 extensions in 2024...

Yeah, no. Too much disregard for the community and useless political crap, apart from hypocrisy on their fake anti-Google stance.

Brave is wrapped up in so much controversy it feels like you’re trolling that you called it a real browser. You’re trolling, right? Have fun with your brave sponsored ads and crypto bullshit. Also you’re still being lead by Google, but I guess that’s okay because it’s in a pretty wrapper.

Lol, as if Mozilla weren’t keep alive by Google’s money (which mainly come from ads, as well). Pathetic and laughable at once. Use what you prefer and stop bothering me.

You jumped into this conversation, friend.

Google does keep Mozilla alive, but it wouldn’t have to if it weren’t a monopoly. Since it does monopolize the market, it has to keep Mozilla alive or face monopoly busting action. The money Google makes comes from ads, but not the money Mozilla makes.

Also, unlike you, my browser isn’t directly controlled by Google’s every whim.

You’re being highly self delusional. But whatever. Enjoy FF, until it lasts.

They donate a lot to political campaigns that have nothing to do with technology or anything relevant. I use and love Firefox, but this is definitely questionable

that article reads like if my 8 year old nephew read thru my tax return. But no matter how mozilla spend their money, Google are spending money their money on much more questionable and unethical things.

Brave isn’t any better of an option with all the controversies they’ve had.

If anything, they’re worse.

  1. Brave is an advertising company, that blocks everyone, but them. Forcing over people and companies into their system.
  2. They’re heavily in the blockchain ecosystem, with their own worthless crypto.
  3. They take from open source projects (uBlock, Chromium, etc), but threaten legal action when someone forks them.
  4. They install bloat/spyware on your Windows system (later claimed it was a mistake).
  5. Brave, and its CEO is right-wing, lobbying against things like same-sex marriage.

I could go on.

Don’t forget the worst most condescending people working for Brave. I actually had one of their people antagonize me on social media years ago for not liking their invasive homepage at the time.

And also don’t forget Gab forked out Brave to create Dissenter.

So like very other ad company.

Forcing over people and companies into their system.

[citation needed]

  1. The crypto stuff is opt-in.
  2. [citation needed] I’m talking about the legal action stuff. Fun fact, Gab made a Brave fork called Dissenter. Nothing happened to them.
  3. Yeah, Brave VPN is BS.
  4. About Brendan Eich, I can’t see nothing about his beliefs reflecting in his work. Looks like he kept them separated. Also he’s a co-founder of Mozilla. So if you’re not going to use Brave because of him. How can you use Firefox? About Brave lobbying against things like same-sex marriage. Will, [citation needed].

If you need Chromium browser. Just use ungoogled-chromium, Windows version.
