A place to discuss the news and latest developments on the open-source browser Firefox
Genuine question: I use brave currently. I really heavily on multiple profiles (work, side-business, personal) that are easy to switch between or have active all at the same time in separate windows.
I tried firefox, but in my experience, the method for changing “profiles” was unintuitive and cumbersome. Was I just doing it wrong, or does Firefox not have that same kind of feature?
I really wanna use Firefox, but that’s a deal-breaker.
I don't use it because if I had to pause to laugh at the self-seriousness every time I opened a browser, I would get even less work done than I do now
I don't see any of this as legitimate reasons to stop using Brave.
yes the CEO donated $1k some 10 years ago to anti-LGBT stuff, and that's bad, but kinda small fries in the totality of factors.
ads. Firefox has ads and trackers just like Brave. You can disable them on either.
you can also disable crypto.
hijacking affiliate codes is unethical and should be stopped but don't actually affect me in any way.
What else ya got?

It does affect you because it would have meant that you couldn't claim cashback offers from sites like TopCashback and Rakuten, as the cashback site's affiliate code would have been replaced with Brave's.
Mozilla wants to censor and cancel people, harder. And Google is the king of censorship.
I'm going to stick with Brave.
The author didn’t talk about hour Brave is the most private and fastest browser. Those are glaring omissions.
Honestly, I only use it for when a site will not work in FFX-based browsers
why not vivaldi?
Vivaldi is proprietary
Vivaldi’s only proprietary part is the UI. Because it differentiates them from other chromium based browsers. Under the hood it’s open source.
Stop using it with honey mustard sauce! Stop using it with tangy sweet and sour sauce! Stop eating the new fiesta Brave salad! Stop enjoying Brave on the patio, in the car, or on the boat... wherever good times are had!
What a shitty article. Firefox should use mirror.
