Firefox has forks.
But does Firefox have spoons and knives too?
Firefox is a sinking ship and Brave can suck my dick
From the Brave website:
Beyond this core engine, Brave has built in tons of custom features atop that open-source Chromium core:
- Built-in ad blocker
- YouTube ad blocker
- AI assistant
Yeah, no. I'll stick with LibreWolf.
Not to mention that the CEO of Brave is a homophobic bigot. Good enough for me to boycott as a cis het male.

Yeah. That's where I went. If AI is good enough - it should sell itself. All these browsers have plugins. I see no reason to bake it in unless there's an alteror motive.
Everyone's in a hurry to milk that AI cow... Its a shame about the taste tho.
Tabs on side and adblock is all i care about. I wish firefox management was doing less harm to firefox, but it's still better than chrome.
Everybody sucks but you really should be cheering for Firefox in such a fight. Even now.
Yeah, it's strange that they are getting so much hate for an upcoming AI feature.. which will be easily able to be turned off.
Because they aren’t trusted. AI anything is not trusted. The concern is they will chip away at the ability to turn it off later like Google is doing with Gemini.

Brave has crypto minded shit built in, and they “protect you” by running their own tracking network, so they can be the exclusive sellers of the data.
Fuck brave.
Saved your comment so I can quote it anytime I see somebody try to push Brave on someone else. It's like the Jehovah's Witnesses of browsers Istg.

Gotta say, of those two arguments, Brave's is stronger
Yeah, it's easy to have good arguments if you don't really care if you're right or not
> talks about monetizing your data
> monetizes your data
Brave still doing that fucking crypto shit in your browser?
Not to mention Brave is just another chromium browser

My main criteria for a browser is not being Chrome or Chromium based.
This leaves my only options being Firefox and it's forks.
Or Microsoft Edge which stifles laughter I'm not gonna do.
Currently on Firefox but might give Librewolf a try.
Edit: I've been told Edge is also Chromium based now, the Firefox ecosystem really is the last holdout huh?
Edge is Chromium-based. It's also not (functionally) half bad, because, well, it's chromium based, but that obviously comes with all the other drawbacks

Meanwhile I'm on LibreWolf enjoying both extra anti-tracking features and not being reliant on Chromium

If you want a low-drama setup: Firefox + uBlock Origin + tweak Enhanced Tracking Protection to ‘Strict’. Brave is solid too, but I’ve had a few sites act weird with the defaults.
Solidly mining crypto on your machine, correct.

Aren't the developers of Brave a bunch of homophobic assholes?
Not to mention Brave is just another chromium browser
Not to mention it already has AI built into it, while everyone is busy freaking out about Firefox even mentioning plans to roll out their own.
