How is brave ever a better alternative to Firefox. What a load of horse shit.

[–] myersguy@lemmy.simpl.website -2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

To be fair to the video, it presented alternative browsers for those who either aren't happy about recent Firefox changes, or users who want a secondary browser. I'm not a fan of Brave personally, but the video never really makes the claim that Brave is objectively better than Firefox

"better" is kind of implied when you suggest "alternatives".

[–] pirat@lemmy.world -1 points 1 month ago

Is it really? I'd say an alternative is generally just "another option that has (more or less) the same features". Better isn't really implied, as that's someone's subjective opinion.

Because it is, even though you dont like it.

Riiiiight, a chromium fork with questionable crypyo and a history of even more questionable decisions (referral scam or not blocking all the trackers, for example) is better than a non-chromium non-fork with no crypto and a history of questionable decisions.

It’s Chromium based, so no thanks.

Despite the negative things in Brave's history, it is currently the best working browser on iOS that has a working adblock feature.
