If you are keen on personal privacy, you might have come across Brave Browser. Brave is a Chromium-based browser that promises to deliver privacy with built-in ad-blocking and content-blocking protection. It also offers several quality-of-life features and services, like a VPN and Tor access. I mean, it’s even listed on the reputable PrivacyTools website. Why am I telling you to steer clear of this browser, then?

    God damnit.

    Every browser I switched to since Firefox has been a good user experience, and then I find out some horrible bullshit.

    Is there any safe browser that isn’t run by hateful assholes?

        Might give this a crack. Been waiting on Ladybird to come to PC.

        Edit: OK it really doesn’t work well with bitwarden on mobile. Normal FF works fine but not this one.

        I was about to say something about Waterfox too! It feels like old Firefox.

      FF is starting to enshittify because they depend on Google for their revenue
