    I read the article.

    But also I’m out of the loop on why ppl hate Brave. Can someone clue me in?

    Is there a better cross-platform browser? I like to use the same one across devices.

      Zen is just preselected no telemetry Firefox, also bleeding edge with Firefox updates

      Brave is fine ish but they have issues, and a lot of them, which they usually fix within 24 hours but they’ve had a track record of like 8-10 issues per year, so just under once a month.

      Don’t downvote me to hell cause it’s a reddit link, sorry, this is the most concise list I know of: https://www.reddit.com/r/browsers/s/AErPH6iMl0

      It’s sold as a privacy-focused browser but it doesn’t actually have a good track record or features for it. The company has made several questionable choices.

      Firefox or fork of choice plus a couple of extensions

        It’s so hard to find good things as it is. Adding in politics of devs adds yet another layer to it!

        I recently started using FUTO keyboard and then learned someone they associate with is a bad dude.

        It’s like, come on guys. I’m trying to degoogle, avoid enshittification, and be privacy and security aware… and then there’s this curveball that I have to factor in too.

        I’m using waterfox as my dedicated porn browser and have found few faults. Maybe I’ll go that direction for my main browser.

        I tried LibreWolf and had issues that I can’t remember now.
