Brave Launches Official F-Droid Repository for Android Browser to Bypass Google Play
-
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.
ungoogled chromium or cromite?

Brave is homophobic Chrome with crypto on top
And they tried to steal money while claiming it was donations for content creators.

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?
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.

I wish Firefox would do this. I'm stubbornly always favoring it for a non-Chromium browser
fennec is on f-droid.

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.

LibreWolf does not exist on Android?

Come on, it's open source. It has some analytics but definitely not spyware

It's default for Zorin as well now

There are tons of Firefox forks there?

I don't give a shit, to be honest. It's a question of morality for me.

Not in name, but by all means the idea does.

The best chromium browser
At the very least the best open source chromium browser although the majority of those on lemmy hate the CEO behind it.
For my use cases I need to use a chromium browser so I use brave on windows, iOS and Linux

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 setup brave on my relative's iOS device because it has anti-tracking builtin. But would welcome suggestions of iOS browsers that preserve privacy.
If Apple didn't effectively prevent browser extensions I would setup Firefox with privacy badger, and uBlock origin with an anti-malware list.

Fake money
no the donation money was real. they added in buttons for supporting creators who had not opted in, swapped out affiliate links to go through them, and kept the money "in escrow" until the creator signed up. many people never did, and then they just kept that money they were holding on to.

If you have to use something chromium based just use chromium or Vivaldi if you like something more customized.
At least ime they both work fine. but no one can really tell you what you should use. I avoid brave hard because I trust Peter Theil less than I would trust an addict to give me back the 100$ I loaned them.
