With the number of people concerned about privacy, it is a wonder why chrome is even popular.

    Bought a new Pixel 7 Pro and wanted to use Firefox but scrolling was just so bad, lots of stuttering. Using Brave now and am very happy with it. You have to turn off some sneaky shit initially though.

        They use telemetry, trying to push Brave Rewards, Brave Wallet crypto stuff, Brave News. I find that a bit sneaky of a privacy focused browser.

          Thanks for getting back to me. The rewards was why I signed up. Welp.

          Hadn’t used Firefox in ages. Stuck it back on asking with uBlock. Quite liking how it blocks pages from jumping to an app.

          I just need to work out how override it when I actually do occasionally want to follow a link to the playstore!

          Firefox does exactly the same: they have a lot of telemetry, they push their own services (pocket/vpn), they are in bed with Google and evil companies such as Amazon… What’s the difference?

            I did not say there was a difference, I don’t use Firefox because of the bad phone performance.
