Zorin OS 17.3 replaced the default Browser from Firefox(Old) to Brave(New).

It isn't.
Brave sucks Google balls.
-
What's wrong is that we're on the Fediverse and many here write off Brave because the founder is "homophobic" because he's a conservative Christian. Sure, they make up all sorts of shallow justifications like "it's a crypto scam" but it definitely boils down to the "homophobic" whining.

I dunno that I’d consider Brave to be “the right thing” but more variety/competition is best!

I have ff installed but uses librewolf for most uses. Should I be worried if ff is in my system? Somebody please explain.
-
I think we're pretty far from that being a problem
-
I'm actually not familiar with this distro. But if I installed a Linux distro, and it have brave installed. I would immediately switch.

Not all of us use older PC's. I really don't care what other people use but I like being on the latest version of whatever software I'm using. Also, I used endeavourOS on a Thinkpad T-420 and didn't have any issues with running the latest software on that laptop from 2012. I'm not saying you haven't had issues but it isn't exactly black or white. Older PC's are not Linux's target market. Everything is Linux's target market. Linux will run on everything from a Pentium II laptop to a $50,000,000 super computer.

there’s Zen also. that also has normie defaults, however the drastically changed UI/Uxmight not be for everyone.
-
Firefox is bad, Brave is evil. Why did they decide switching is a good idea?

I stopped reading about here. I can tell its just a ramble about how the world should appeal to you and you only.
Kind regards.

Well, Brave is -regardless of the companies decisions- still a damn good browser with many build in essentials (TOR, IPFS, Bittorrent...), so, while I PERSONALLY don't use this anymore (currently I use an heavily patched suckless surf and Dillo) I don't see much wrong in including this in a distribution especially catering to users switching from windows.
-
That's gonna be a no from me, dawg
-
Is privacyguides wrong?

“Mozilla has a bit been shady lately, so we are making the difficult decision to change our default browser to something significantly more shady. We are confident our users will feel safer knowing their data is in even worse hands than before"

Found Brendan Eich's sockpuppet
A conservative can't be a Christian, and vice versa. Jesus was clear: He cares as much about who you sleep with as He does about the fabric of your underwear.
Homophobia is a plenty good reason not to use a browser. Eich is an unscrupulous person at best, and his name leaves a stink on any project he is involved with. Unsurprising that Brave has decided to embrace the crypto fad and is moving towards becoming an ad platform.

Instead of thinking up new ways for them to make money, maybe think why they've got money issues.
Maybe it's got something to do with the different CEOs doubling their multi-milion salaries every few years.
Or maybe their numerous idiotic acquisitions like the pocket.
Or maybe they're super strapped for cash because they moved their fuckhead of a CEO to AI development.
I love FF, but fuck Mozilla and everything it represents.
