I just switched to Brave because I was tired of Chrome stealing all my data and it seemed like a better browser from a privacy standpoint. I like it so far. Now I'm seeing all this hate about brave lol. I'm convinced Lemmy will hate everything I'm doing, no matter what that thing is

    I’m surprised Floorp isn’t more popular! I went from Librewolf to Floorp and it’s got a silly name, but it’s the best fork I’ve found so far (ALSO BUILT-IN MOUSE GESTURES AWE YEEEE I’ve been using those for decades now)

    I used Brave for a bit after it came out. All the built-in crypto bullshit wasn't anything I ever touched. I can't remember if I quit some time before Chrome announced the manifest-v3, or if that made me swear off all Chromium browsers for good.

    Anyway, also apparently the creators are huge assholes, so there is that, but as I never had any intent to support them financially I just thought I'd use a privacy-focused browser. Meh. Firefox has all the plugins a person could ever want.

    I mean, use whatever browser you like. Lemmy is cool and basically right about a lot of things, but fuck the zeitgeist and make up your own mind about shit. I went a different way, but forge your own path.
