The CEO of brave is a homophobic bigot if that helps push anyone over the edge for changing their browser. It was the last straw for me.
This post shows that it’s much worse than that.
That pretty much does it, yes. Staying away from brave.
Edit: that Netscape team, holy fuck, Andreesen also came from that cesspool, what a fucking drudge of parasites.
You do know that Firefox is essentially Netscape rebooted, right?
Also I don't really know what you are trying to say here. Netscape was definitely a better option than Internet Explorer.
I didn't know that, thanks for the tip : https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brendan_Eich
That's not even his worst crime. His worst crime was inventing JavaScript.
Especially when the alternative they were considering was having Scheme in the browser.
That was the headliner reason for me.
The rest was just 'Alright, it isn't enough this guy is a piece of shit, he's pushing a shitty product.'
God damnit.
Every browser I switched to since Firefox has been a good user experience, and then I find out some horrible bullshit.
Is there any safe browser that isn't run by hateful assholes?
Firefox? Mozilla are just stupid, not really hateful
i found one called waterfox that is a nice little firefox fork ive been using. super chill.
I've been loving it.
I was about to say something about Waterfox too! It feels like old Firefox.
Might give this a crack. Been waiting on Ladybird to come to PC.
Edit: OK it really doesn't work well with bitwarden on mobile. Normal FF works fine but not this one.
Edit2: ended up installing bitwarden add-on in the app and that resolved the issue of the phone level app not working.
FF is starting to enshittify because they depend on Google for their revenue
I'm waiting on Ladybird to come out next year into alpha
Probably also has some right wing bias as well. That's probably one of the reasons they included goggles in Brave search for right wing content.
