I only use brave at work because it somehow bypasses the firewall there and I can install and use it. I run it to watch videos about cooking or traveling and reading news when I have nothing to do at my job.
At home I usually run tor browser (tbb) and firefox with addons to block ads and tracking.
I’m not sure I should turn to brave as default browser. How do you see it?
I agree with the people here. Secondly: Tor is good for some use cases and not so much for others. Mind that you’re tunneling your data over some exit nodes you probably know little about. Make sure to use https and only encrypted connections, so your data can’t be intercepted. Tor Browser might already come with a https only plugin by default, I don’t really know.
I also don’t know much about Brave. If it’s tunneling your data somewhere to bypass the firewall, the same thing applies. Make sure to understand why this firewall is there in the first place. And the consequences of bypassing it. And the people you trust with your or your company’s data. For news and cooking videos, it should be alright in any case.
I use “Mull” on my Android. And some Firefox on Linux.
I’ve used it on my phone once, and had trouble trying to change my home page. Searching for it, apparently it was because of an option that was glitched. Turning it off solved it. This glitch was present for years, from what I read, and still wasn’t solved.
It had the A.I. controversy that people mentioned. So I guess it’s not very reliable in the privacy section, even if it’s their main “appeal”.
I’m using Firefox on both PC and mobile. Only experimented with Brave for a short time. Can’t say much more about it.
Assume you are new here? Lemmings suckle at the teet of the red panda. Brave is hated for its pretense of privacy while in reality being perhaps even shadier than the big data boys.
