I think we need all support we can get to fight Google on this, so I welcome Brave here actually.

Sorry for linking to idiotic Twitter, couldn’t find another link.

    Amen. I’m just waiting for them to screw everything up and I’ll follow along.

    t. Currently using Brave

      No need to wait, Firefox is already a strong competitor (in terms of features, not market share). Adblock on Firefox mobile makes mobile sites so much easier to use.

        I don’t know how people navigate the internet without adblock on mobile. Each website is a nightmare with the majority of the screen being ads.

          Yeah, ff mobile may be complete garbage UX/security wise, but its the only usable mobile browser IMO, simply because of ublock support.

              According to the GrapheneOS docs

              Firefox does not have internal sandboxing on Android.

              Apparently Firefox’s sandbox is still substantially weaker than chromium and it is currently much more vulnerable to exploitation.

                Oh that’s right. I read the same thing some time ago and had completely forgotten. Thanks for bringing it up.

        It really isn’t though. I also started using Firefox recently and I miss tab groups on mobile as well as on my PC. Yes, there is the simple tab groups add-on, but it just doesn’t compare.
        Brave is also easier to set up ad-blocking, because it comes with ad-block enabled and script-blocking two clicks away.

        Don’t get me wrong, I will continue to use FF, but Brave has some features, FF does not have (yet).

          Tab groups is the biggest thing I’m missing after I made the switch the other week. I’m used to having loads of tabs open, so not being able to easily minimize the ones I’m currently using is annoying to say the least.

          One plus is containers. Only opening Meta sites in their own container, same with Google/Youtube is pretty neat.

            Tab groups and container tabs are the two things I want. Tab groups I’m missing a lot. The extension is not available on mobile.

              Remembered one more thing; in Firefox I can only have 31 tabs open before the scroll bar appears. In Chrome it’s closer to 90-100! That’s kinda huge imo.

          The more that use Chromiun, the more likely WEI will be rolled out and the death of ad blockers comes quicker.
