I've been seeing a lot of people hate and uninstall Brave. Why? It's not like they're tracking us or doing anything else shady. If so, what's the privacy alternative?

I am a very, very long time Firefox user. Brave probably has a case for getting Chrome users to consider switching, but I've never encountered any compelling reason to consider switching from Firefox to Brave.

I've had a ton of websites break when using Firefox with uBlock Origin, I've never had a broken website with Brave.

It's usually tracking protection breaking the site, in my experience.

Even with the protections completely off, it was still borked.
