That's in your head. I cannot think of anything Firefox won't do for me. And if I came across something I needed chromium for, I would open it that one time. My privacy is worth that tiniest bit of effort.
As an independent computer consultant full time, I operate heavily through my browser for a good 60% of my work.
For me, there are a few plugins that don't exist on Firefox, which I need. The plugin environment isn't nearly as robust or kept up-to-date as chromium-based browsers.
Which plugins are they?
Mainly Dragon Medical One
Fair enough. That's a fairly niche case, but I could see myself using a chromium browser if I had to use this tool at work, but then switching back to Firefox for everything else.
I still wouldn't use Brave, though, and it would be even better if more developers started supporting Firefox instead.
I agree. I guess I could just use Firefox on mobile and home but use Brave for work.
