Cevilia (they/she/…)When people recommend Brave browser.
collectif_imaginaireWhat if I just want to go on movies pirate streaming sites so bad I need ublock origin and the brave “shield” on 24/7?
Is this Firefox, Vivaldi or xelemental-compatible ?
I’m on brave but you make me regret it
uBlock Origin works better on Firefox-based browsers. You get the full uBO experience, not uBO Lite.
Get LibreWolf if you’re as paranoid as I am - but the onboarding sucks, you need to remember by default it clears all your data every time you close it (can change in settings).
As I understand it (not a Brave user, I may have misundersood) the Brave “shield” is partially tracking protection and partially snake oil. Firefox has enhanced tracking protection. You can even turn it up to “strict”, if you’re willing to sacrifice website functionality for increased privacy.
Anyway, browser’s not a forever decision, try one, try several, see what you like
FWIW, Brave still supports manifest v2 and the full version of uBlock Origin. Chrome has uBO Lite since they only have manifest v3 now. Firefox and LibreWolf don’t have to deal with this, and still support the real uBlock Origin. I’m not sure what exactly Brave “shield” is doing, but I think if you use EFF’s privacy badger on Firefox and block third party cookies, you are getting the same thing.
