Stop using Brave Browser.

Seriously.

If someone recommends Brave to you, you should ignore them, because they are wrong. Brave Browser is a mess of a software project, and the company building it is even worse.

Stop using Brave Browser

Seriously.

@mrguragain @lproven You could try Chrome, but doing that you're going to accept the fact that Google will implement some sort of DRM for the web. But hey, apparently this is better than having a problematic person at the leadership of the Brave project 🙃

@caludio @mrguragain @lproven Or Mozilla Firefox lol. At the end of the article, it specifically recommends Firefox and Vivaldi

@caludio @mrguragain @lproven Brave is built on top of Chromium, so you get the worst of both worlds.

@barubary @mrguragain @lproven Brave has already said they will remove Web Integrity API support from the browser, as they have already done for, and I quote, "some other google's crap"

@mrguragain from all the chromium clones, forks, for me, ungoogled chromium seems to be the "it": https://github.com/ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium

@mrguragain @lproven I feel obligated to share https://librewolf.net
LibreWolf Browser

A custom version of Firefox, focused on privacy, security and freedom.

@AlexanderMars @mrguragain I have tried Libre Wolf. I wasn't impressed. For me, on Linux, I run Waterfox as my primary browser. This gets around Snap issues on Ubuntu, & it integrates better with the Unity desktop, as well as Xfce with the appmenu global menu bar.

On macOS and the rare occasions when I have to use Windows, I use it or vanilla Firefox.

Chrome is reserved for Google Apps, and I regularly try alternatives. None has quite hit the spot yet. Some are good but all have downsides.

@lproven @mrguragain well, it runs great on Fedora and Nitrux(my daily drivers). I generally won’t touch anything Canonical is involved in, and librewolf does only what I want it to do. Sure some sites are janky on it, but then you have other browsers to fall back on when needed.
