I've been using Brave for the past three or so years but I do know that Linux/privacy enthusiasts tend to swear by Firefox. Wanted to get people's thoughts on this topic to see if I should be making a potential switch. Thanks!

As I said in another comment, if you work for Brave you're probably going to write tests that play to Brave's strengths

There is enough evidwnce that this is wrong. I would recommend to watch Techlores Interview too.

Are you telling me that you don't think a Brave employee would write tests based on the areas of expertise they have, that they may well already have implemented fixes for? Or, on a more sinister level, do you think Brave would allow their employee to have a web page up that made their browser look bad?

I'm not trying to be agro here, I'm just pointing out that you can't really consider this an unbiased source even if you are happy with all the tests!

I would suggest checking the Interview that Techlore made, he ask the owner of the site similar questions.
