I don't know if I am missing a point or not but I don't exactly quiet get the hype as to me, it just chrome with poor man's uBlock Origin and their own crypto in the mix.

Like how it that different from me using ether Librewolf or even Google Chromium and install uBlock Origin compare to Brave?

One problem with LibreWolf is that it has very weak security. The exact same goes for FF and other FF based browsers.

The Chromium monopoly sucks tho.

Edit: grammar. :p

Then get off the internet, none if it is secure.

Generally speaking is true that our security standars are incredibly low and that's becoming more and more dangerous as time goes. Even moreso in our hyper-digitalized society.

But I fail to understand what does that have to do with the fact that FF is less secure than Chromium. May you develop, please?

Can you go into more detail about Librewolf having weak security? This is news to me.

[–] SrEstegosaurio@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Compared to Chromium.*

Not only LibreWolf but every FF based one.

You can check out this article since it explains it better than me: https://madaidans-insecurities.github.io/firefox-chromium.html

While it's not about the most recent version most if not all of its points are still true.

@SrEstegosaurio @coldhotman why does it have weaker security than Chromium browsers?

Edit: saw this in the comments: madaidans-insecurities.github.…

What's this about weak security? Do you have something to read about that?
