It's always surprising to me when I hear people using the brave browser... It's by a company that initially tried to replace their blocked ads with their own "safe and non-intrusive" ads as far as I remember, until they backpaddled because of the outrage.

It's also a for-profit company and you're not the customer, as you're not paying them money.

I'd be way more worried how they're using the data they're collecting on you vs Google or MS

We have these cropping up like ants.

Mullvad

Brave

Opera

Vivaldi

Microsoft

Heck zoho is in on a browser now

What net gain does each of these companies provide over skinning chromium that isn't in Firefox?

Last time I asked brave fanboys why they don't redskin Firefox and the response was "Firefox is pita to build" all the while we have projects like palemoon and waterfox that are hobby projects. If they can work with firefox, so could someone else but no

Uh. "cropping up like ants" is definitely a take. Not a good one, as most the browsers here had their first release date of 199*. I will list them out.

Mullvad, is the Tor Browser with the Mullvad VPN included, and released 2023. However, the Tor Browser, which it effectively is, is from 2002.

Brave, the one in this article, is from 2019.

Opera is from 1994.

Vivaldi is from 2015, and is developed by Opera's previous dev-team after a bad sale to a Chinese company.

Microsoft's first browser, Internet Explorer, is from 1995.

I can not comment about Zoho's browser, as i know little about it.
