    Let’s be realistic; afaik there’s no realistic alternative to Firefo(rk)x or any of the Chromium flavors. Also, expecting the 1% to behave any differently would be naive.

    This wouldn’t be the first time we’re in a bleak place where it comes to our digital landscape, hopefully we’ll be in a better place soon.

    I still use firefox ( and any fork of it ) rather than use any differently coloured chromium ( including brave, their ceo does not have a good reputation too )

      I understand that Brave is a very good browser, from a technical standpoint, but it just feels annoying. For one, the constant crypto advertisement is a real turn off.

      Firefox is also the only real mobile browser that lets me have extensions, so I can use stuff like uBlock or BypassPaywall.

        Yeah in the terms of Bullshitification, firefox is still far of any chromium stuff.

        I will never forget what brave did with their crypto sh*t in their browser.

    No, they’re not.

    Don’t equate those two tiny organisations to the ridiculously wealthy and powerful companies like Alphabet, Apple and so on.

        So that Google is the default search engine in Firefox. … Which you can easily change.
