I'm sorry, it's funny to me that you stopped using Firefox because it "went down a dark path," which is in some ways true, but went to Brave, which is like strolling through the deep wood at midnight.
Brave is better than Firefox though. Firefox defaults to the Google search engine and shows me sponsored ads. Brave does not do that, except the sponsored wallpapers. Oddly enough, your claim is not backed by anything.
Do we really want to go into this? Can't you do your own research? Okay.
Brave has been known to rewrite ad links so they get the revenue from them. In addition to its AI features (which Firefox is also doing right now and is a point against them too) It has a built-in cryptocurrency wallet. Its dashboard has its own ads; sure they can be turned off, but you can also change Firefox's search engine away from Google. Or here, how about, instead of just reiterating easily discovered facts, I could just link you to this article on the crappiness of Brave: ZDNet And, of course, there's the issues with Brendan Eich.
Firefox definitely has problems, like those AI features and putting sponsored links in among the items on its home screen, but it never rewrote links to its own benefit, and it doesn't support cryptocurrency.
Do you know you can opt out of the crypto crap? Do you also know that most of Firefox's revenue comes from google? I would prefer a browser makes money off their own crypto than one that depends on another big tech.
Yes. It makes money off their own crypto. And funnels it to their anti-LGBTQ+ CEO. Who spends it to fund bigots.
Congratulations, you're funding bigots.
Plonk.
Do you know you can set other search engine as default on firefox? Do you also know that the deal with google of using it as default search engine is the only thing keeping mozilla afloat? and that google is likely continuing funding them this way despite a dwindling user base because if firefox were to fail, oops, all chromium and incoming monopoly lawsuits?
I would prefer my web not being all chromium thus relying only on one big tech.
