    There is so much controversy with every browser and people working on them that I find is better just not to read anything about any browser anymore.

        I mean, yeah. I’m not a computer person, so five six browsers seems like a lot to just know off hand. I don’t know as many cola brands or Russian Czars without looking them up (I clearly don’t know what a normal comparison would be). People do talk mad shit about Firefox, chrome, opera, brave, safari, and edge though, which have got to make up the vast majority of the browser market.

          Having to cross out 5 and make it 6 because you actually could name more than 5 off-hand really seems to undercut that point.

            But people talk shit about all of them. Plus, does edge really count? Also, wasn’t that really your point? I can think of more than five and people are still shit talking them.

            From a non techie perspective, I don’t know why one is better than another.

        Maybe. I tried a lot and my personal experience is that Chrome is at least a level above all else in UX for general use. So chrome with some privacy features out of the box seems a good way to go.

          Chrome is the worst, there is no privacy with Chrome. The UX is also trash, it’s only good if you haven’t tried anything else.

          Also Sergey Brin is in the Epstein files.

            Well i respect your personal experience, but it doesn’t at all correspond with mine.

              You can prefer the UX of Chrome, especially since so much of the web is designed for it. But it’s not a subjective personal experience that it is not private. Google exists to harvest your data. And the fact that everyone just accepts it is why the internet is so shitty.

                We are taking about brave, not chrome. I don’t think you get any more harvested than you do with Firefox.

                  Oh, sorry, for this comment thread yall have been saying Chrome.

                  But no, even with Brave, you aren’t safe from Google tracking. All chromium browsers have been found to feed data back to Google.

          Privacy features? Google harvests your data regardless of your settings. It also furthers Google’s monopoly on the web. I’m sure anyone can see the problem with an advertising giant hungry for data being able to dictate how you access the internet, and what the internet even looks like. Google has power over all of that, split between their influence in the W3C, their Chrome browser, their Android OS, and Google Search.

          Google decides what you see, how you see it, and how the underlying technology functions; that’s literally their business model.

          That’s the real problem with Chrome and any Chromium based browser.

            Yes, it’s a big concern. Unfortunately I have a lot of those. I will have to leave it to other people to spearhead a better fairer freer alternative. One that will not only attract a select crowd, but a wider audience.

          Not sure what that has to do with your claim that “every” browser has “so much controversy”, but okay.

            In conversations humans don’t talk like robots or like they are writing a code. People often use lose expressions, colorful language, exaggerations and everything else that I have no idea about.

            I didn’t think I’d need to explain that when I said every browser before, I didn’t really think every single browser. Yet here we are. That’s why I didn’t actually think you will call me out on it and just continued with other stuff. 😀

            So yeah, not every browser 😁. Only a few. Although with so many new questionable ai ones, the percentage is going up for sure.
