    I never liked Brave tbh, something about it felt sketchy with all the crypto stuff

      Go ahead all you want. I'll never install Brave because it's chromium based and because of their leadership and their choices.

        I gave Brave a try back in the early days. The Brave wallet was useless and something I didn't wanted. There wasn't much to differentiate it from Chrome back then on desktop. On mobile, it has built in Adblock but that's it. Vivaldi, IMO, bundles in more features for a Chromium based browser.

        Either case, I have been on Firefox for multiple years now despite it's own issues. uBlock Origin is properly supported on it (both desktop and mobile). I think FF(nightly version or Iceraven, a FF fork) is the only browser that allows sideloading of extensions on mobile. Chromium based browsers are way behind in this regard.

            I wish Firefox would do this. I'm stubbornly always favoring it for a non-Chromium browser

            Have you tried Obtanium? Allows to download and update from github, among other sources. There's even a site with source configs that's very helpful, and includes firefox.

            https://apps.obtainium.imranr.dev/

            Alternatively, Fennec is basically firefox and it's on f-droid.

                I use IronFox which is on Accresent or hosts it's own F-Droid repository alternatively. To me that's even better than vanilla Firefox on F-Droid.

                  I could hate JavaScript for free, I'm very thankful Brendan gave me an extra reason

                    What do you use? I struggle to not have at least one chromium variant installed for work purposes - I feel like half my jobs' apps or sites don't work in Firefox.

                        Sadly it seems to be a JavaScript or CSS engine issue 😞

                          And he inflicted JavaScript upon the world, completely wrecking the World Wide Web. Fucker should burn in Hell for that, let alone the other stuff!

                            i used this piece of crap on windows, and theres always a small brave.exe running in the background even when you disable background running. i have no abiloty to prove its spyware, but doesnt strike confidence.

                            also we have cromite, librewolf, ironfox, why would i install this crap?

                                  Brave is a great browser, specially on older mobile. It is the default browser for the Nobara gaming linux distro, because it's so good, and recently ranked top tier browser by Pewdiepie.

                                    probably an update service. all browsers do it on windows because the os doesn't handle updates.

                                      why would a desktop distro care that a browser works well on mobile? what was their actual reason?

                                      also, we already went over this: that tier list was not his. it was in his video because he was quoting another video. and if he did it fact rank browsers, what was the ranking based on?

                                      you can't just say things.

                                          To add to the others, Fennec is a fantastic replacement and has extension support.

                                          Also heard good things about LibreWolf. Mull had some buggy behaviours I couldn't seem to configure away from so I guess YMMV, but that was my experience.
