Putting Brave and Firefox next to each other doesn’t sit right with me. I’d say Brave is the tech normie’s “secure” browser. Then you can put Librewolf next to Firefox.
Technically they have about the same privacy standards by default
As someone who went from Chrome to Brave, im actually very curious. What are some of the differences between Firefox and Brave? Should I make it a priority to switch?
Both Brave and Firefox are both weakly copylefted libre software (MPLv2). However both programs are culpable to privacy pitfalls and bad practices. Brave has its infamous crypto/ad scheme and firefox has google search as its default engine (among other opt out telemetry). Both have users run nonfree javascript by default.
Use firefox instead of Brave since firefox gives you more freedom on how hardened you want your web browser to be from a very low level. Theres also Librewolf for privacy and GNU Icecat for freedom.
Also package maintainers have firefox in their repos and virtually never have Brave
mainly not being based on chromium, no integrated crypto stuff, css theming support, and some compatibility issues with complex websites (as a result of no chromium)
Being called conservative for using firefox is mean!
Yeah, after a number of people tried to go after Mozilla for hiring trans people, those kinds of people are mostly on Brave nowadays
The Linux circlejerk is at it again
Here you go for when you’ll inevitably fuck up
Welcome to the rabbit hole.
A rabbit should be a mascot for a free software program, it has surprisingly not been done in my knowledge.
Luke Smith has some pretty bigoted opinions.
What has he done? I’ve never heard of him.
He’s a far right dipshit https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/mar/12/far-right-open-source-technology-censorship
this is just so wrong i don’t know where to start omg
start at the beginning
You can differentiate between GNU/Linux users and Linux users on whether they have steam installed, and differentiate further if it is installed as a flatpak or not.
I don’t get it, but I’d like to. Would you explain the difference for me?
Most Linux users on the internet are elitists.
Not much more to take away from that comment. It’s essentially differentiating between “casual Linux users” and “real Linux users”.
