With the number of people concerned about privacy, it is a wonder why chrome is even popular.

Bought a new Pixel 7 Pro and wanted to use Firefox but scrolling was just so bad, lots of stuttering. Using Brave now and am very happy with it. You have to turn off some sneaky shit initially though.

What's the sneak stuff in Brave?

They use telemetry, trying to push Brave Rewards, Brave Wallet crypto stuff, Brave News. I find that a bit sneaky of a privacy focused browser.

Firefox does exactly the same: they have a lot of telemetry, they push their own services (pocket/vpn), they are in bed with Google and evil companies such as Amazon... What's the difference?

[–] codr9@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

I did not say there was a difference, I don't use Firefox because of the bad phone performance.
