I use it because it has a built in adblocker, and well it just works.

There is some crypto bullfuck and AI shit you can easily opt out off, and some talk about some CEO making homophobic comments.

    All those browser extensions you need to make Firefox private ends up fingerprinting you. Brave has all of that by default, so sites of sites can’t easily differentiate you from other Brave users.

    Also, Firefox still doesn’t have tab groups on mobile. Chromium has had that feature for years and Firefox hasn’t bothered to keep up at all. That’s a non-starter for me

      Then switch to a Firefox fork that’s built for security rather than a Slop Browser built on data mining you (that’s all the built-in AI is) and that’s supporting crypto shit and has a bigoted CEO

        You’re forgetting the major point that Firefox still doesn’t have tab groups on mobile. That’s a complete dealbreaker. If they can’t be bothered to do that I would honestly be better off running Tor

          Tried to see if there’s a browser extension for that?

          Also, this really feels like the one meme from community.

          You’re the blonde girl right now

          I can excuse homophobia, crypto, and AI slop, but I draw the line at not having tab groups

      Fingerprinting

      Not important to me. But understandable

      tab groups

      I actively disable that on everything I use it with (even in the about:config flag)

      Why would you want tab groups on mobile? There is no real estate available to bother.

      Also, on mobile, Firefox focus is the best general purpose browser when you are just looking up things. Adblock is built in, all cookies are dropped on close.

        You have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about
