Stop using Brave Browser - Lemmy

Very strongly worded, but yes.

Brave have had a history of controversy since their inception. Every time something happens, the CEO went on a marketing campaign across social media and drummed up enough new users to drown it out. However the attitude of the business is clear: it would take a very small sack of money for Brave to sell out its users.

If you’re going to use a Chromium web browser, there are non-commercial open source projects that don’t have a history of shady shit. However Firefox forks are better.

Which forks do you suggest?

Not the OP, but here are some alternatives anyway.

Firefox:

Chrome:

Waterfox - The free, open and private browser

Waterfox is a popular open source web browser.

Ok, but why? What’s wrong with Firefox and how do the forks address those points?

I posted the list of alternatives simply because OP asked for forks.

What’s wrong with Firefox

Me posting this list shouldn't be an implication that I believe Firefox to be bad. I'm offering alternatives as the OP requests.

and how do the forks address those points?

Every one of the links I shared have detailed information about how their product mutates the original Firefox or Chromium browser. Do you really need me to copy-paste that information into a comment?
