The same people bemoaning the war on general purpose computing or the surveillance state happily using Chrome has always been a truly bizarre disconnect I’ve never understood.

Maybe it’s age? I used Firefox since firebird, and Phoenix, and Netscape, but saying “try Firefox” might feel like talking about an archaeological relic to a 28 year old who has never even seen Firefox running.

Are other chromium based browsers also problematic ?

>>Dansvi+R4
They all rely on Google and Chromium's browser engine in the end, so make of that what you will. Firefox (plus its derivatives) and Safari are the only two other options if you want a different browser engine today.

Oh but mah brave.

How tone deaf can people be?

I talked to brave supporters and they all say "Firefox is a pita to modify" but we have had waterfox and other derivatives, floorp and others for decades.

In the end, Brendan is the one who does not like Firefox for personal reasons and that's why brave isn't based on Firefox. Personal reasons but brave fanboys don't see it
