      Haven’t found anything on Android to replace it with, and on Desktop swapped to it after Chrome Manifest V3.

      I work as a web dev, and after the install I just disabled the wallet etc, and am left with a browser with native quick dark mode toggle, built in support for ublock lists, and otherwise familiar Chrome experience, with full extension support and foldable device support.

      Firefox has certain UI/UX choices I dislike, and they are behind in implementing lots of features (that are rarely an issue to non devs).

        Cromite. Every time you use Brave you help promote their right-wing CEO known for donating money to ban gay marriage.

          Could you explain how that logic works? I don’t support their CEOs points of views by simply browsing the web with the app.

          I can understand how mentioning this, I would, but I was compelled to reply to your question.

          Edit: Naos question*

          Edit 2: I don’t see Cromite in the app store, and have near zero will for tinkering/manual updating after a days work in tech.

            CEO’s get money from people using their products, and Google’s CEO spends a lot of that money lobbying in order to push the government further right. It’s not a tough thing to follow. “Support” isn’t about whether or not you agree with them, it’s about whether or not you help fund their actions when you have other options that wouldn’t.

    Firefox is my main browser, but I occasionally need a Chromium browser for technical reasons. I had been using Brave - note the past tense there. Any suggestions for my new secondary browser?

    Brave? The browser that hides ads and substitutes their own? The one that keeps you private from Google AdSense so they can sell your data themselves? The one that keeps their Chromium build lean, so that you don’t notice the crypto miner running along side of it?

    The fucking PayPal Honey of browsers? When the fuck did they ever look good? They’re like the “Banzai Buddy” of the HTML5 era

    Daily reminder that Brave uses Chromium, an open source project where all the commits are approved or denied by Google devs.
