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

Again, read the Bible. That's all I'll say because it's obvious to me that you've probably only read scraps through third parties within the context of progressive "Christianity".

Seems like a strange choice. If anything i would've expected them to just use a firefox fork or something.

Brave hates gays

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.

Is privacyguides wrong?

I'm not going to defend Mozilla by any means, but if you care about privacy, you wouldn't use a browser based on Chrome anyway.

the everyday linux distro that is famous for asking people for money for their pro version, cause they know most of the userbase is coming from windows and doesnt know that everything is free?

one of the worst distros ever so I guess this is pretty obvious choice and telling to some.

Recent firefox policy change is controversial, but how brave is better?

Define worst? It does what it says, it's an easy stable distro for windows refugees. Slow updates doesn't make something bad

Nothing wrong with supporting projects you adore.

It's a big reason why I switched to Debian.

Brave marketing has gone crazy to convince people it's less dodgy than Firefox. Come on!
wrote 5 days ago last edited byYeah. Viral marketing is real but people never seem to be able to identify it.

Once again like Zorin, it isn't required to use the base version. Projects take time and effort, support is optional. Debian also has a donation page gonna distrohop now too?
-
As a Librewolf user I wouldn't make it default for casual users this kind of distro is aiming for. Sure enabling logins to use it as a main browser is piss easy, but that's still more work than the average person wants to put into setting up their system.
Waterfox would be the better choice since it's just default Firefox in every way besides Mozilla's spyware.
wrote 5 days ago last edited byUgh. Why can't designers recognize they don't need to do things different just for the sake of being different?
I guess it's what makes them bad designers.
-
That is the default behaviour, but it's pretty trivial to change. Also, I'd imagine the distro maintainer could choose to change the default settings as part of a post-install script, if they wanted to.

It has to be the default tho, bc the whole point of Librewolf is that it's trying to by default be untraceable and private.
It's very easy to disable that and re-enable cookies and the like, but your default experience will fundamentally be private, which is its goal

Sigh. This is what makes you people bad designers.

A bad move. But again i hate that many distros have a default browser and they don't let you choose.

wrote 5 days ago last edited byYou keep ignoring the "pro" version aspect of this.
Debian doesn't lock features or updates behind paywalls. It's not just about asking for donations.
