I switched over to CachyOS a month back and noticed the distro’s included browser is actually a fork of LibreWolf, which I was already dabbling with: https://github.com/CachyOS/CachyOS-Browser-Settings
LW takes a lot of getting used to, but is arguably the best option imo
How is brave ever a better alternative to Firefox. What a load of horse shit.
Seriously exhausted of people recommending it. The company itself is extremely concerning and was founded by a right-wing bigot involved in crypto scams. There are far better Chromium-based browsers for those who want that. Brave should be left to rot.
To be fair to the video, it presented alternative browsers for those who either aren’t happy about recent Firefox changes, or users who want a secondary browser. I’m not a fan of Brave personally, but the video never really makes the claim that Brave is objectively better than Firefox
“better” is kind of implied when you suggest “alternatives”.
Is it really? I’d say an alternative is generally just “another option that has (more or less) the same features”. Better isn’t really implied, as that’s someone’s subjective opinion.

why would you bother looking for an alternative with more or less the same features?
because the implication is the app you are using now is unacceptable in some way, and the alternatives are not, hence “better”.
“better” is kind of implied when you suggest “alternatives”.
Only with context, which is kind of what I was trying to say. The context was Firefox users who are not happy with its current direction, or people looking for a secondary browser. That kind of makes the only necessary criteria “Not Firefox”. Everything else is the creator’s opinions of which ones you “must try”.
exactly, context is important when comparing firefox to brave. firefox is being held to a high ethical standard here where brave is not.
Because it is, even though you dont like it.
Despite the negative things in Brave’s history, it is currently the best working browser on iOS that has a working adblock feature.
It’s Chromium based, so no thanks.
also the founder is a right wing bigot.
Riiiiight, a chromium fork with questionable crypyo and a history of even more questionable decisions (referral scam or not blocking all the trackers, for example) is better than a non-chromium non-fork with no crypto and a history of questionable decisions.

vivaldi my beloved 😌
This became my work browser a few months back and I love how it just does its job and doesn’t get in my way.
Same! It’s my go-to Chromium-based browser. It’s the same folks who created the OG Opera browser (not the current Chromium based one)
presto based opera, my beloved
