Warning to all Brave Browser Users
Blocking variations.brave.com which is used for A/B testing could potentially break Brave's functionalities. For me did Brave's "forgetful browsing" feature broke which seems to be disabled by default if you block this domain.

You really just shouldn't use brave..
Do you think we are not Brave enough.
Sorry... I will see myself out.
Only gays don't use Brave, isnt it?
Cringe.
@eya May I ask why you think that? I their afe good reasons to don't use Firefox either...
Brave is an ad company. Use a privacy-centric browser like hardened firefox, librewolf, or ungoogled chromium.
Edit: added a comma
Can we not downvote genuine questions like this? All you do is discourage people wanting to learn and make it harder for people that think differently than you to see arguments against them.
Save the downvotes for rude or bad faith comments.
@IronKrill Thats the same thing I think abt you guys, but alright.
I wasn't sure how to word my reply, but I was referring to all the people downvoting your response and not you. Unsure if that came across.
You'd need a very good reason to not use Firefox given that it's all that stands against a Google monopoly on web standards. I was using a Chromium-based browser myself until Opera and Microsoft both abandoned their own browser engines - after that I couldn't possibly justify not supporting Firefox.
I have made an entire post detailing (some) of the reasons why you shouldn't use Brave.
Its better than Chrome, Edge, and any other proprietary spyware browser
Firefox based browsers exits and if you need chromium based there are also other degooled browser available.
Gaba degool
True but don't you think brave is better than chrome?
In the same way that I think 3rd degree burns are better than 4th degree burns
I think you mean 3rd degree burns compared to second degree burns but I get what you are saying
? 4th degree burn is a real thing
True but its basicly the same as 3rd degree burn. You will basicly never see it in the field
Now you’re just being pedantic
You mean how chrome and brave are basically the same thing, even if one is technically worse?
I don't know anymore
Yes, but when good options exist, why give thought to which bad option is less bad?
Because we need less google control. Also brave is pretty user friendly
Firefox is the good option. It is not controlled by Google.
Brave is chromium based, which gives Google control over web standards.
Brave is also degoogled lol
Yeah but they add other tracking to it and all the crypto bs. And im not keen on sponsoring a company which has a ceo who supports anti-gay politicians financially and then denies it.

brave is degoogled
sort of
Check out Vivaldi then.
It falls in the proprietary category
Didn't they announce that they are source available?
Its still not Foss. Unless its under a free software license its a hard no for me.
At least its not chrome though
Vivaldi hides its 5% or whatever code under the most BS reasons one could possibly give – more performance and security than other Chrome browsers. This makes Vivaldi not so trustworthy. I will always pick Ungoogled Chromium for a Chrome based browser, if I had to forego Firefox (if it dies, for example) for the years I am alive.
so what you want people to use opera or Chromnius
None of these. Use Firefox.
think before you post, you assumed i didn't use Firefox
u implied it, einstein, when u suggested the only options are chromium based
Dude! Name calling, so cool.
You're right, Einstein is a name... 🤔
wow, sarcasm, how nice
Permanently Deleted
i was calling them einstein sarcastically, and therefore it would be considered insulting. however, my comment was in fact intended to be an insult. /srs
Use a fork of firefox
Or just use firefox?
Stock Firefox is almost as bad as Google Chrome
Idk wtf you're saying. You mean stock firefox as in firefox with no settings changed? If so, it's not great but in no way as bad as chrome. That's just a ridiculous statement. That being said, hardened Firefox is fine and it's not very hard to do. By harden i mean common sense tweaks. I don't use arkenfox or anything. I think it's overkill at that point.
I wouldn't say arkenfox is overkill. It's the easiest way to get rid of all the spyware that comes with Firefox by default.
What spyware....
on mobile yes same for brave but much much less
what?
Think they might be having a stroke or something...
