I’ve been seeing a lot of people hate and uninstall Brave. Why? It’s not like they’re tracking us or doing anything else shady. If so, what’s the privacy alternative?

    It still is more browser share for Chromium. Business owners will see that share and use it as part of the business case in implementing WEI. If you want it stopped, you gotta use a real alternative such as Firefox.

      Are there any non-chromium browsers other than Firefox and it’s derivatives?

        Gnome and KDE both have browsers, they’re just rarely the defaults.

        Gnome Web is decent, but it tiles heavy like iPhoje Safari while still being very slow. It does support Firefox sync which is pretty cool.

        I haven’t tried the KDE browser in a long time so I can’t speak for it.
