So my options for iOS seem to be Libre Wolf Firefox Duck duck go
🤔
Is this an ad
it’s the opposite
What happened with /c/unix_surrealism?
Zen Browser kicks ass.
I don’t trust it.
I’m curious why, as a zen user myself. What would you suggest as an alternative?
Firefox
Appeared too quickly, with too much promise and not enough community time
Care to say why?
I don’t know the details fully but isn’t it like one Dev just patching Firefox? The whole Zen mod store seemed like an obvious vector for bad actors to me. What if he’s on vacation when a patch drops for a zero day?
Browser is one of the most important and critical aspects of your system that houses a massive amount of critical data…
I have tried all the browsers that you can imagine and I stay with Firefox, it had catch me
I’ve used Firefox based browsers for as long as I can remember and I’d rather slam my dick in a car door than switch to garbage like brave. Every single one of those browsers is the same bloated Google-flavoured bullshit wearing a different fucking clown costume. Firefox is the only browser that doesn’t make me feel like I’m being rawdogged by corporate spyware every time I open a tab… Piss on carpet !!
I thlammed my penith in the car door!
You slammed your penis in the car door!
i thlammed my penith in the car door
I only use palemoon because it uses the best version of Firefox.
Yeah, I don’t do web stuff, but I use the browser every day for all the microsoft stuff my employer uses and it’s 99% LibreWolf and then 1% switching to Firefox ESR that cane preinstalled on debian.
If something didn’t work at that point, I’d probably fire up my Windows VM I use for testing before I’d install even chromium. I’ve installed it before but there’s just no need now.
Sooo… you claim Brave is created by an artist, a piece of Art, one may day?
I get Brave is still “chrome” I only use it on Android as most all android browsers suck or break in some way. On Linux (catchyos) I use https://zen-browser.app/
I have brave on Ios and if I’m correct it’s just using Apple’s safari webkit anyways. It’s been a few years since I compared browsers but back then it was the least shit, including firefox and firefox private.
is this the one that requires you to log in? i tried one that looks just like that and i loved the design but forced sign-in is a deal breaker for me. how private can it be if it demands to know who i am?
Firefox or GTFO.
Fuck brave browser, all my homies hate brave browser
Anti-Chromium gang
How tables have turned. I went from FF to Chrome somewhere around 2009 just to move back in 2024. Fuck chromium.
Coward gang
(Jfc does anyone recognize word play or smth)
Im genuinely curious if you can explain your position further? How is avoiding it cowardice?
Avoiding Brave browser makes you part of a coward gang
Coward = very not Brave
A real man embraces vulnerabilities.
Love the word play. The logic is shakey lol
So I should remove brave?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brave_(web_browser)#History might be worth a read
Wow I never really liked Brave, felt way too bloated, but this gives me reasons not to suggest it anymore.
thank you for sharing this non-existent content
my pleasure! be careful out there!
Out where?
Out of the environment of course.
good question!
Software doesn’t exist silly, it’s imaginary, like numbers.
But browsers are double fake.
What’s the deal with Brave? Why are people against it?
The guy who made it has bad beliefs. It’s good software from what I can tell, and free as in speech and free as in beer, but if you use it you get his bad bigot cooties. You have to use free software by certified free range organic non-bigots or it rubs off on you I guess.
They do a ton of sketchy shit. I was skeptical, but this article convinced me.
If you need to use a Chromium browser, there are a shit-ton that aren’t Brave. I use Ungoogled Chromium.
Aside from the homophobia, Brave also runs an ad network so I’m skeptical about their privacy claims.
Brendan Eich. Specifically his stance against same sex marriage. He was pressured to resign from Mozilla, which he cofounded, due to his support of California’s prop 8. Then he founded Brave. The Brave browser also has some annoying crypto and AI features turned on by default. I think it’s a perfectly fine piece of software. I use it as a second browser.
It’s impossible to be good at programming and morality at the same time.
That’s why I never tried with either.
Brave was found altering links to some crypto services like Binance to include their referral and basically profit from unknowing users, they also run an ad network, they rely on Chromium, thereby endorsing Google’s dominance over the modern Web, they are very crypto-positive, which is a problem for many in the open-source community, and on top of that, everything else others have said.
Vigilink is the vendor they use to do this iirc. Link hijacking for referral revenue is wild thing to base a business on, but I’ve seen more sketch things running around the ad tech industry.
Their very shady history + their very bigoted owner + current shady tactics
Edit: and on top of that it’s Chromium based
i’m not against it, i just don’t believe it exists

I’ve been using Vanadium, the browser that came with GrapheneOS, recommendations?
keep using that
I use ironfox with ublock origin, works nicely.
Brave on GrapheneOS works great. Worth a download.
