If you are keen on personal privacy, you might have come across Brave Browser. Brave is a Chromium-based browser that promises to deliver privacy with built-in ad-blocking and content-blocking protection. It also offers several quality-of-life features and services, like a VPN and Tor access. I mean, it’s even listed on the reputable PrivacyTools website. Why am I telling you to steer clear of this browser, then?
Fuck is this a Shitshow in the Comments. And here is my contribution.
I’m using Brave and Librewolf as Desktop Browser and on my Tablet i’m using only Brave. On my GrapheneOS Phone i’m using Vanadium because its the default and its good enough that i don’t install a alternative.
What i want is a Browser with good adblocking and cookie… fingerprintresistance fast loading time but the main points are that these features must be enabled by default because i don’t have the time and strength to enable them on any new device.
I simply don’t have the capacity i’m worn down My Expirence has shown that some Webseites block my browser and then i simply switch to chromebased and in mist cases it works. And at this point in Time i don’t have a better chromium based Browser with this much default Privacy features than Brave.
And i don’t have the strengh to care about the CEO of them. I don’t care. i’m tired
you care enough to find multiple niche browsers and write comments about them
How is LibreWolf niche ?

Do you see LibreWolf on here? Do you see Brave on here? Do you see Vanadium on here?
Even Firefox, of which LibreWolf is essentially a reskin of, is at 2.6% and considered niche
Remember that, by virtue of us being here on Lemmy and talking about all of this, we are also a niche group of people. We don’t represent the average person, even if we might be the ones who influence them with our knowledge.
absolutely. people gotta realize when they put themselves in a bubble and not project that experience outwards to everyone else
there’s a word for this… lemme see if i can find it
