Brave CEO rants about "lefties," "glowies," George Soros
-
Finally somebody other than me says it!
-
Andreessen had fuck-all to do with Firefox. He had worked on Netscape Navigator (which changed names several times over the years and is now known as SeaMonkey), but he had left Mozilla years before Firefox, which was a from-scratch rewrite, became a thing.
-
While it's a Firefox fork, Ironfox works great for me.
-
Brave has always seemed shady to me. I mean it has built in crypto spam.
-
To expand on your second point in case anyone isn't sure what you mean:
Different browsers render webpages slightly differently, because they use different "engines". The most popular browsers are Chrome or Edge, both of these which use the Blink engine, whereas Firefox uses a different engine called Gecko.
Web developers want their websites to work for most people, so they develop websites that are optimized to run in Blink, which means they sometimes don't look as intended on Gecko (Firefox). It's not Firefox's fault that developers are doing this -- of course developers want to reach the most users possible. There's nothing wrong with Gecko, either -- if it were more popular, then developers would build sites for it instead of for Blink. But, this issue of sites breaking can sometimes turn people off.
(Conversely, I develop for Firefox first, so sometimes webpages I make don't render properly in Chrome/Edge. That's not ideal, but I don't care much. I think Gecko is the better + more consistent engine, and I'm not interested in chasing mass appeal.)

Regardless of the CEO, Brave is a great product. The crypto stuff is easy to turn off. Fantastic ad blocking, rarely any problems. What is the best alternative with great ad blocking?
-
Literally every other browser with uBlock Origin? I am still able to use it even on Chrome.
-
Cromite doesn't seem to allow opening supported links in other apps for some reason
-
I have more problems with uBlock Origin breaking the website. Also, it doesn't block other elements such as cookie walls and news letter signup garbage.
-
I never had any issues using ublock origin.
& Creating own filters in ublock is really easy.
For example i block YouTube shorts using ublock.
-
Most of them are.
-
They stole money by adding donation links to content creators pages, then didn't give the donated money to the creators.
-
brave is just chromium, i wonder when google wants to cut them off down the line.
-
How about just:
Brave: We're not!

I mean, he's technically better-behaving than Mozilla itself then.
But I think these endless splits over disagreements and inability to cooperate in the split state are systemic.
So maybe the whole typical-left "let's unite and make a thing and boot everyone who shows a sign of rot" is systemically harmful. See, people who show signs of rot - they are the better kind. The really bad people don't show any signs of rot until it's too late. Actually they may not show anything, be like Mozilla tops.
And also one kind of rot is not rot for some people, and the other is not rot for other group of people, and so on. It would be good to build a way of cooperation where people are impeded from cooperation only with whom they themselves disagree, and not the majority.
Same as my other idea that there should be a way of moderation, where a person's ability to choose is strengthened with all the amazing technology we have, and not with benevolent MITM.

these conservative actually think theres an actual boogeyman" left " in america.
-
crypto, homophobia, fits in with conservatives they all believe in these types of scams. either they buy into crypto, or they are peddling it-themselves.
-
-
some sites that are anti-adblock will "break: with ublock orgin, and some with adguard or privacy badger, i just turn one of those off and its fine.
-
for mobile, but for desktop theres like zen,floorp, "librefox, maybe",,etc. they all still depend on mozilla to survive though.
