Brave browser

So is Brave now the real deal or just a another scam?

Cant customize, Inbrowser adblock still doesnt block all ads
Sorry but its still alpha

chrome skin

it needs work I have no idea why people are shilling it this early
anyone who tries it out and was on the fence will get a bad impression and never use it again

it's a scam
brendan is salty he was kicked out of mozilla and is now trying to make money

...

It's perfect for mobile
not really that great for desktops

Worse than Chrome and Firefox

you tell me

Imagine a Chrome browser trying to be Firefox, with none of the benefits of Firefox

doesnt matter if I cant even reskin that ugly piece of shit

>with none of the benefits of Firefox
Will you quit talking about Quantum already ffs

you keep repeating this when it's simply not true. it's equally bad/good on both. see It's just that it used false advertising and misinformation to establish itself as a "safe and secure" browser, which it isn't (and it's honestly irrelevant on android or any device with a SIM card). it's primary goal is to block certain ads and earn money to advertisers without relying on google. it has no intention of ever being secure because you can't make the blink engine secure. the only popular browser which can be fully secured is Firefox.

I use it on Android as my main browser and I think it's great. For a PC, well, not so much.

It is the fastest browser available for Android and according to the image from the post you linked it yourself it appears to be the fastest on desktop as well

Why is only ff secure and why security irrelevant on android?

Not everyone wants to trade privacy for speed.

Android has tons of DRM and vulnerabilities that not even the safest browser could protect it from. It's an already infected platform in most cases. And not even a de-googled one can protect you if you use it as a mobile phone. Hint, SIM providers have an automatic root privilege as long as you have a SIM card inserted into your device.
>why is FF secure
Because it allows a much more aggressive content blocking, unlike firefox devs almost nobody is interested in developing privacy and anti-fingerprinting features on chromium and nobody would dare to because Google is the major developer and an ad agency which requires that their browser's base cannot be modified to prevent user tracking. All chromium browsers are doomed to be privacy nightmares.

that's a really old message since then Firefox has went as far as sideloading an ad addon for a tv show that's not even to mention that gorhill is receiving money from the Mozilla foundation

>install uMatrix
>block everything
>go to addons.mozilla.net
>it doesn't block anything
Thanks firefox

>gorhill is receiving money from the Mozilla foundation
Politics are irrelevant. He definitely should receive money as he's made the best ad and content blocker on the market.
>an ad addon
The browser is open source, you can remove all ties to Mozilla if you want and this will include their pocket and telemetry. It opts you out of Mozilla's bullshit by default unless you're using an alpha/beta build so you shouldn't even notice this.

>gorhill is receiving money from the Mozilla foundation
sauce? or is this just another Sup Forums mozilla conspiracy theories?

I'm not talking about pocket
I'm talking about them sideloading an add-on to promote Mr.Robot

>It opts out by default
My fresh install tells me otherwise

I know what you're referring to. Sponsoring is implemented in the pocket. I haven't seen the ad on any of my 8 Firefox browsers, even on nightly builds with full telemetry enabled. The only thing I always disable is pocket. Even if this isn't the case the argument still stands.

>fresh install
In that case they would tell you immediately that you can opt-out of anything you want. You would see the privacy pop-up.

There is private pop-up
Unless you go to the privacy tab and scroll all the way down to those things you won't even know you're sending data to Mozilla
Newtab also shows ads by default

Do you even use Firefox or are you just memeing

Privacy* pop-up

Oh and the only actual way to turn off pocket is through about:config
Otherwise you're just hiding it

>newtab shows ads
It's because of pocket. Disable it and you won't see ads. Jesus fuck.

>Decide to give Brave a try
>Open Sup Forums on it
>It doesn't block all ads like uMatrix, uBlock and NoScript do in Firefox
>Suddenly fans start to go crazy
>Keep in mind that I only have one Sup Forums tab open in Brave
>See that Brave is using 28% of my GPU in the taskmanager
>WTF

Sorry, I want to like Brave, but it obviously can't even prevent Sup Forums malware from reaching my PC and use my GPU to mine bitcoins in guess?

Now keep in mind that if I use the Block all cookies option in Brave then it solves the problem and ads are gone and no GPU usage, but it also prevents me from posting. So again Brave is neither as secure or flexible as Firefox.
