I've been using Brave for the past three or so years but I do know that Linux/privacy enthusiasts tend to swear by Firefox. Wanted to get people's thoughts on this topic to see if I should be making a potential switch. Thanks!

"Private/secure" is in the title and has nothing to do with the political/social view of the CEO. Until abuse of power happens/is proven, there's no point in spreading FUD, fear-mongering and manipulation. As if FF and Mozilla didn't have their fair share of controversies as well...

Don't even bother replying, this is going to be my last comment in this thread (and probably in this sub, as I'm tired of discussion on "privacy-oriented" subs becoming paranoid every-fucking-time).

Good luck.

Until abuse of power happens/is proven, there’s no point in spreading FUD, fear-mongering and manipulation.

So, should we first wait for the abuse and harm to happen first, when nothing can be done by powerless individuals?
