Swapped from Firefox when Mozilla published that anti-free speech article... That was the straw that broke the camels back. Maybe if they worked on their fucking browser instead of writing shitty blog posts I would have stayed.
If you're going to use Chromium then I recommend Ungoogled Chromium, unless you're into BAT.

Extensions can be added. No native bookmark sync, unless you can turn it on (?) but that would defeat the purpose of ungoogle. But I think last week google announced they were blocking sync for chromium forks anyway, so...
I am using brave right now. ^_^ I love the ad blocker and the fact that I can use my old chrome extensions. I just wish that I could easily send a tab to my phone and vise versa.
I didn't understood about sending tab to phone but there's extension called Pushbullet in which you can send links and texts to the phone vice-versa. Maybe you can check that out.
Switched to brave from Firefox myself last month. Currently only usefirefox for Facebook container until i can find something that blocks facebook off from the rest of my browser. Unless brave dors that already?
Been using firefox since the mac power pc days and xp but brave is nice. Was worried about that smear piece that brave js just as bad but i wont know until we see more proof i suppose.
Unfortunately there is no alternative right now to Chromium. Used to use Firefox but Mozilla is cucked to extreme proportions regarding censorship and wokeness narrative, can't do no more especially when its for me a shittier rendering engine. Safari is in the apple eco system otherwise I'd use that.
It will remain an open source project. It just won't have nearly as much resources driving its development. But there are now a ton of developers who understand it well.
> doesn't Brave sell your data?
> Our company does not store any record of people’s browsing history. We don’t write any personal data to the blockchain. The only way a user’s data is stored by Brave is if the user has switched on Rewards or Sync.
Disable the gay rewards and you will be fine.
They push their own ads on you though. When I open Brave I’m frequently shown a pop up about buying bitcoin and shit. I don’t participate in their reward program.
Checkout this [tweet](https://mobile.twitter.com/BraveSampson/status/1350685642846572546) from one of the brave browser developer. He is advising to not to use that browser.
I’ll elaborate. There have been juicy fuckin vulnerabilities discovered in chromium over the last year that have been patched in most chromium-based browsers. Using an unpatched version is a bad idea generally
I'm a Firefox user, any reaosns/benefits for me to move to Brave (other than thar Mozilla tweet down bellow)
Also hasn't brave done some slightly sketchy stuff by redirecting some site links to their affiliated versions or have they stopped that?
If you set Brave up correctly in the settings and add a few extensions then it performs nearly as well as Firefox for the privacy conscience, and you have the benefit of a better browser engine. Brave feels more responsive, faster, uses less memory. There is a good article on gHacks.net that explores the settings you need to change to get the most privacy. I think the 'slightly sketchy stuff' you might have heard about is related to their cybercurrency that is completely disabled by default (you must opt-in) and you need never interact with.
