I only use Brave to hook into personally hosted shit through tailscale. Kinda nice having a separate phone app that’s just used to keep those addresses pulled up and separate from actual internet browsing.
Internet browser ❎ Intranet browser ✅
Librewolf, iceraven ^and vivaldi^
not Vivaldi
Why not?
i personally love vivaldi but i’m gonna guess they are telling you to avoid it because it’s not open source. also chromium
…yes, I whispered ^and vivaldi^
i read it as icecraven

I only use Brave because some websites got my digital fingerprint with firefox lol
I love using Brave browser… swipes away crypto ad banner …because there is a massive focus… swipes away crypto ad banner …on privacy….
Privacy against big tech but brave is just an indie operation please give them your data 🥺
Us when we’re messy with our spaghetti dinner
I hope we can get a recipe, that sauce looks yummy
Switched to LibreWolf a few weeks ago because of AI.
I’ve used Firefox based browsers for as long as I can remember and I’d rather slam my dick in a car door than switch to garbage like brave. Every single one of those browsers is the same bloated Google-flavoured bullshit wearing a different fucking clown costume. Firefox is the only browser that doesn’t make me feel like I’m being rawdogged by corporate spyware every time I open a tab… Piss on carpet !!

Brave is even worse as they’ve been caught doing shady shit without permission on more than one occasion.
I thlammed my penith in the car door!
This broke the car door!
Do you know why we stopped the car? 🎵
Cause it smelled like dick.
i thlammed my penith in the car door
I only use palemoon because it uses the best version of Firefox.
Yeah, I don’t do web stuff, but I use the browser every day for all the microsoft stuff my employer uses and it’s 99% LibreWolf and then 1% switching to Firefox ESR that cane preinstalled on debian.
If something didn’t work at that point, I’d probably fire up my Windows VM I use for testing before I’d install even chromium. I’ve installed it before but there’s just no need now.
Fuck brave browser, all my homies hate brave browser
Anti-Chromium gang
How tables have turned. I went from FF to Chrome somewhere around 2009 just to move back in 2024. Fuck chromium.
Coward gang
(Jfc does anyone recognize word play or smth)
Im genuinely curious if you can explain your position further? How is avoiding it cowardice?
Avoiding Brave browser makes you part of a coward gang
Coward = very not Brave
That was an excellent pun!
A real man embraces vulnerabilities.
Love the word play. The logic is shakey lol
Evil brave
My company’s ERP software doesn’t work well on Firefox unfortunately. So brave is the next best option for me. Other chromium based browsers only work with UBO Lite which is very limiting for the amount of filters I have imported. So for work I use Brave and for personal I use FF with betterfox user.js.
Try helium
It’s cool that you get to do erotic role play professionally.
That’s what people think of these days? Grrmbl.
Reminds me of some old, old, old tech humour bit where some biz manager ended up in fistfight with the head of IT support because both thought they were in charge of “ERP” and the biz bro felt the IT nerd was overstepping his boundaries. It ended with an email from the CEO that clarified a few acronyms: “ERP = Enterprise Resource Planning. ERP = Emergency Response Plan. Hopefully this clears things up.”
It’s funny that CNC can either be one of these industrials machines I don’t know much about, or Consented NonConsent
It’s what I think of as someone who writes collaboratively as a hobby. I can’t speak for everyone lmao. All I know is that I chuckle whenever I see the acronym in the wild.
thank you for sharing this non-existent content
my pleasure! be careful out there!
Out where?
good question!
Out of the environment of course.
I have tried all the browsers that you can imagine and I stay with Firefox, it had catch me
I’ve used firefox for ages, but I still switched to waterfox recently. They promised to not push the AI crap on you, so that was enough for me. Also it’s just firefox with a blue logo lmao
Pale Moon.
Why do you prefer it?
Sooo… you claim Brave is created by an artist, a piece of Art, one may day?
most importantly, a vegan artist?
I don’t understand. Why does Brave not exist? Is it because the developer is a chud? Fair enough. Is it because it’s Chrome? If so, does that apply to Vivaldi?
Can somebody explain something stupid to me? What exactly is wrong with Chromium? Does Google have backdoor access to anyone who’s running a Chromium based program or something?
They abuse the fuck out of their monopoly, basically.
They made changes to limit the usefulness of adblockers (Manifest V3), they tried to force a remote attestation API (WEI API) a few years back that would let them do stuff like fully block users who aren’t running locked-down operating systems from using online banking software or accessing Youtube, they added many chrome-specific web APIs that are extremely helpful for fingerprinting and lock users into the chrome ecosystem, etc.
And if you’re running stock chromium, there’s a fuckton of telemetry calling home to Google servers constantly.
And browser is such a complex piece of software that you cannot just fork it easily and change those things within a weekend with a bunch of unpaid volunteers.
So basicaly everything that made it through the android-google ecosystem also made it through chromium, is my take
They made changes to limit the usefulness of adblockers (Manifest V3)
Unless you’re using Brave :)
You can’t. It doesn’t exist.
Lol actually
As a web dev I hate the trend of websites relying on chromium-specific quirks, there are a handful of sites I need to use which refuse to work in any non-chromium browser, and customer support will always tell you to just use chrome as if you’re not a normal person for using Firefox. So yeah what’s wrong with chromium to me is that it’s the new internet explorer when it comes to web standards. Websites and large businesses can afford to just not care if they are following web standards as long as it works in chrome, and if you have a problem it’s your fault for not using chrome.
Yeah, we’re back to the days of websites only supporting Internet Explorer because of proprietary features and weird quirks.
Someone at work made a “who on earth uses FireFox” comment recently, like it was some obscure and inferior / outdated software (our company includes FF as part of the standard image for both PC and Mac users). I did not go into my “why chromium is evil” rant, but I did tell them how to adjust their settings to fix some performance issues they were having with it. I’m pretty sure they still switched to Chrome.
That’s valid too. Thanks for pointing that out
This is why I switched from LibreWolf. If I had to have a Chromium browser installed as a backup anyway for few important sites, I might as well use Chromium. Imo Chromium has won. It owns the web landscape. I’ve given up
I use LibreWolf, and I do have issues with a few sites (my local utility company’s bill pay only works on chromium), but I still refuse to use a chromium based browser except for those specific sites.
It is inconvenient, but it can still make a difference. If sites that have chromium only functionality see that enough FireFox users are trying to use the site, they may update it. I know web devs check those kinds of metrics.
In technology, victory is fleeting.
Why don’t you at least use Ungoogled Chromium, Cromite, or Helium Browser? At least they prioritize security and privacy equally while not being tied to Ghoulgle.
Their adblocks don’t work mainly
Only Brave still works on YouTube
Is this because of the whole Manifest V3 thing that prevents uBlock Origin from being installed?
Do you have an issue with desktop Cromite where the browser just straight up freezes except for maybe the menu button? I’d chalk up to being a Debian Linux weirdo, but my work-provided Windows 11 laptop also has this particular issue in the flesh. I switched back to Ungoogled Chromium because of it, and also cause I want uBlock Origin and no less.
At least Cromite Android has extensions.
What exactly is wrong with Chromium?
It gives Google hegemony over web standards.
@Chaunticleer this sums up many concerns (at least mine)

Thank you
Yes but Brave is Chromium with functioning AdBlock
which you can get on any Chromium based browser, brave is nothing special in that regard. you can have functioning adblock with Vivaldi also.
No Vivaldi’s and the others’ don’t work for YouTube
yes it does. i’m using it right now.
@KindaABigDyl with crypto bs added and no control for ublock or making extensions that modify the website for your needs.
I don’t use the crypto. You can just disable the wallet when you set up the appearance.
Yeah but it’s the best chromium skin!
Chromium with crypto, spy and adware injected into it and its development led by an alt-right manchild? Hard disagree. Even the default Ungoogled Chromium easily tops Brave.
Cromite and Helium also top Brave.
no, because i’ve never seen it
It does not exist because it does not exist.
Hope that helps.
What happened with /c/unix_surrealism?
Hosting instance ran out of disk space, collecting donations to resume operations.
Why wouldn’t they leave a donation link on that page :<
I bet they don’t even have MBAs! How do they expect to optimize their revenue funnel and drive quarterly growth‽
Firefox or GTFO.
They recently used AI to translate a lot of code to Rust. Thought it sounded like a neat project right until then.
Aah, I was not aware of that.
Mumble mumble HURD mumble GEGL
Can Brave Browser exist on Android though? That’s the only time I use Brave, lol
Don’t though.
I would love to use Firefox or IronFox on Android instead. However, it’s super insecure, so much so that even PG doesn’t recommend it. Not only that, they also run like shit, especially when used with a VPN. If it wasn’t for extension support, it would sadly just be inferior to chromium based browsers in every way, even for privacy. Firefox is the way to go on Linux, but on Android, wouldn’t recommend. Anyway, not that it’s going to matter much, if Google truly does start blocking use of GrapheneOS and lock down Android, then I’ll probably be switching to Droidian or Ubuntu Touch soon anyway
However, it’s super insecure, so much so that even PG doesn’t recommend it
That’s some sad nonsense. Their “criteria” is some non-specific shit indistinguishable from slop generated from a butt.
Tor Browser is the only way to truly browse the internet anonymously.
Oh fuck the fuck right off with this, hackerman.
Firefox runs better and performs better than any bloated chrome-with-crypto-ads would even wishes to run. And unless we count “has inbuilt plugin for Tor” as a security feature, and we will be insane to do that, there is no reason to suspect it’s somehow worse than chrome-but-our-ceo-simps-for-trump.
I don’t even use Brave’s Tor feature. Also, I don’t like Brave’s bloat but tbf, you can completely disable them all in the settings which is what I did. Btw, you don’t think that Google’s CEO simps for Trump? I hate the politics of Brave’s CEO, but not like big tech’s agenda is any better and Mozilla is subservient to Google whether they like it or not. Not to mention their constant pushing for adding AI features onto the vanilla browser.
I might try Cromite, but I’m hesitant to use web browsers maintained by one or two people since browsers constantly have security exploits that need patched quickly, something that a couple people can’t maintain on their own. If anything, I would use Vanadium if I had GrapheneOS but I’m stuck to LineageOS right now, lol
I guess it’s a matter of faith after all?
