I've been seeing a lot of people hate and uninstall Brave. Why? It's not like they're tracking us or doing anything else shady. If so, what's the privacy alternative?

The complicit part is the most bullshit thing I have ever heard.

They said unequivocally that they won't support it, just like they didn't support Manifest V3.

It still is more browser share for Chromium. Business owners will see that share and use it as part of the business case in implementing WEI. If you want it stopped, you gotta use a real alternative such as Firefox.

Yeah, but op asks why people are anti brave not pro Firefox

[–] CrypticCoffee@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 year ago

Because it is still Chromium... With crypto BS

Are there any non-chromium browsers other than Firefox and it's derivatives?

[–] bitwolf@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago

Gnome and KDE both have browsers, they're just rarely the defaults.

Gnome Web is decent, but it tiles heavy like iPhoje Safari while still being very slow. It does support Firefox sync which is pretty cool.

I haven't tried the KDE browser in a long time so I can't speak for it.

I'm not sure of any. What's wrong with Firefox etc.?
