I use it because it has a built in adblocker, and well it just works.

There is some crypto bullfuck and AI shit you can easily opt out off, and some talk about some CEO making homophobic comments.

      All those browser extensions you need to make Firefox private ends up fingerprinting you. Brave has all of that by default, so sites of sites can’t easily differentiate you from other Brave users.

      Also, Firefox still doesn’t have tab groups on mobile. Chromium has had that feature for years and Firefox hasn’t bothered to keep up at all. That’s a non-starter for me

        Why would you want tab groups on mobile? There is no real estate available to bother.

        Also, on mobile, Firefox focus is the best general purpose browser when you are just looking up things. Adblock is built in, all cookies are dropped on close.

        Then switch to a Firefox fork that’s built for security rather than a Slop Browser built on data mining you (that’s all the built-in AI is) and that’s supporting crypto shit and has a bigoted CEO

        Fingerprinting

        Not important to me. But understandable

        tab groups

        I actively disable that on everything I use it with (even in the about:config flag)
