    I don’t understand why people ever chose Brave over Firefox

      I used Brave in the past to get a fast browsing and the chrome extensions as well. I got back to Firefox because my CPU don’t like Brave.

      Otherwise I don’t think it’s a bad software. They are growing and the link that is given is logical because Binance is the main sponsor of Brave.

      Some people complains about the BAT Tokens but these are opt-in.

      The thing I complained about was about the sponsored images when you open a new tab. Shouldn’t be opt-out according to me. And should be only linked to their BAT Tokens program.

        Can you elaborate? Genuinely curious.

          I mean Brave is based on Chromium and Chromium is consuming a lot of CPU. Firefox is very lightweight compared to Chromium-based browsers. That’s the main reason I got back to Firefox.

          I haven’t used Firefox for a long time now and it seems actually pretty good. But maybe not as fast for some reasons.
