Firefox says it will keep supporting uBlock Origin even as Microsoft Edge and other Chromium browsers phase it out under Manifest V3.

Why brave? I see a lot of seemingly tech savvy people using brave, and I don't get it. Edge or chrome can do the same, in terms of rendering, and you don't need to have software associated with Palantir installed.

do you have better alternative chromium based but privacy friendly?

We need to test our web code in Chromium browsers. I dont know how much percetange of Users use Chromium-based browsers

I only use Brave when some site is genuinely broken on Firefox and actually needs Chromium. I only do this because of its built in ad blocker. I'm open to other suggestions. My default is Firefox.

Vivaldi is pretty neat, but as far as I understand it's a closed source Chromium browser. Its my back-up one for when Zen(/Firefox) is having issues with a page, which thankfully is infrequent.

The main reason I steer clear from Brave is because of its founder (former Mozilla employee) who has donated to an anti-gay bill among other things.

when it came to credit cards, i decided against trusting brave and its attention tracking crypto currency fabrication. tried edge to that point too. Ditched it a few days later. had a cult feel as does many softwares. firefox can't fill in a cc form so not thrilled with status quo. if a site won't work with my browser+ad-blocking tweaks, fuck that site. brave wanted to be a new crypto currency and felt like a pump and dump waiting to happen. IE always tried to use feature lock-in to force loyalty. run away. there's always lynx.
