Oh, look, THAT meme. Again. For the100th time.

Folks, I don't care what under the hood. Brave serves me much better than Firefox did. And, frankly speaking, "not being chromium" isn't enough anymore. Mozilla has ruined Firefox for me when they started removing features (e.g., FTP support) and dumbing its UI/UX. So, goodbye FF, it's been a long ride, but I'm on Brave right now.

But, Brave doesn't do FTP either? And it's full of crypto nonsense.

[–] Engywuck@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Crypto on Brave is disabled by default. The FTP support was just an example. The last straw for me was the idiotic UI "refreshement". I'm not touching that thing. And yes, I know UI on FF can be tuned using CSS, but I've no time, nor the will to fix Mozilla's fuckups. It's not like there's a shortage of browsers out there.

Brave is managed by Brendan Eich who had to leave Mozilla because he is a homophobe.

That and they have been doing some selfserving things with BAT to the point where I wouldn't trust them even if BAT became something worthwhile or maybe even especially then.

Eich was a cofounder of Mozilla. Wasn't him an homophobe back then? Did someone stopped using FF because Mozilla's cofounder was an homophobe?

And, frankly speaking, I couldn't care less about him or his believing. I need a good browser. Brave is a good browser (better than Firefox, for me). The day I find something better, I'll migrate. Full stop.

Again, the whole BAT thing is opt-in and it's not the point here.

When it became public yeah people protested some websites were even putting up warnings for Firefox users.

[–] Engywuck@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah, but people are still using a browser originally made by an homophobic guy. Shame on them! /s
