@Tutanota I wish these were browsers' usage statistics for Internet community in general 😁

@Tutanota Brave seems like an irrational choice.

But there is no reality in which an ordinary person uses Tor for everyday internet surfing

@Distante @Tutanota thanks for sharing the video. The whole crypto thing really irks the shit out of me

@Distante @Tutanota If someone lives under a repressive regime then Tor as standard browser makes sense (And I think 5% of users living under a repressive regime is a reasonable amount)

Why I recommend against Brave

If you are keen on personal privacy, you might have come across Brave Browser. Brave is a Chromium-based browser that promises to deliver privacy with built-in ad-blocking and content-blocking protection. It also offers several quality-of-life features and services, like a VPN and Tor access. I mean, it's even listed on

@Tutanota I really want to love Zen and Firefox on mobile is fine. But there was too much hassle in the end so I went back to Vivaldi. I love the native side bar.

No mention of #Waterfox? I use it on mobile and desktop, alongside Librewolf.

@Tutanota Personally, I use Mullvad Browser and it's great for everyday use on Linux! Also it is the best middle ground if you want Tor Browser's fingerprinting protection without the slowness that comes with it. And for Android there is IronFox, much much better than the default Firefox imo.

@privacyfriendly @Tutanota I totally agree with this one! And IronFox sounds pretty good, I will check it out for sure.

@Tutanota Vivaldi should be totally avoided since it is proprietary software that is unethical and unjust. Also with source code unavailable it can also contain backdoors and surveillance.

I don't know whether Brave have software freedom issues or not, but it is unavailable in almost all free GNU/Linux distributions' official repositories, including but not limited to Debian, Trisquel, Guix, Parabola, etc. Therefore there should be software freedom concerns with Brave and you should be careful.

@Tutanota Firefox is also proprietary software, and you should avoid the binary distributions of Firefox by Mozilla. However, Firefox can become free software as long as it gets its name changed - Firefox's source code is under MPL, and what makes Firefox proprietary is only its trademark. So you can try Iceweasel, GNU IceCat, or you can build your own browser from Firefox's source code with its trademark stripped out.

LibreWolf, Tor Browser and Mullvad Browser are ideal choices.
