reminder for everyone who may have missed it the last few times

the only reason that brave browser exists is because its ceo was kicked from mozilla for being a homophobe & transphobe

by contuing to use that software you are activity supporting and promoting a company that not only hates lgbtqia+ people but was born out of that bigotry

brave browser is also filled with many not very cool things everything from cryptocurrency scams to link redirection to so much more

there are tones of other chromium , webkit , or firefox based browsers that do can do most everything that brave browser can do or more in terms of "privacy" and just as much or more on terms of useability

please i urge anyone who cares enough about these things to have installed brave in the first place to migrate form brave to something better

heres some good alternatives to try

firefox , chromium , librewolf , ungoogled-chromium , gnone web, kde falkon , qutebrowser , tor browser, thats just a few tho id mostly suggest one of either ff, ch, lw, unch
@julia_ what are some good alternatives for android?

@Wicycool @julia_
there's also Kiwi browser that I've been using I don't know the back story of its development or anything or who develops it all that I know is that it works well

although it's only for mobile and i don't know if there's an I OS client but yeah it's a really good client for mobile

@epicEaston197 @Wicycool @julia_ Kiwi is shady. I used to use it but I think it's gotten pretty bad. I switched to Bromite for a while and it worked okay, but I'm now using Fennec (feel free to try Mull, it has saner defaults for privacy but refresh rate is stuck at 60 and I don't know how to change it)
@iagondiscord @Wicycool
huh that's the first I'm hearing about Kiwi being shady can I inquire for more details?
@epicEaston197 @Wicycool For one, their Discover feature. It's like Google News, and it connects to Google servers which can be used to track you. The feature is opt out. Not the worst thing, but still.
Secondly, some search engine options pass requests TO KIWI'S SERVERS (Bing is the biggest one), because apparently that's the only way they can get paid as referrers. That was at least two years ago and I think it remains unchanged. Users are not made informed about this.
That's really it. Second one is the big point of contention.
