Long time FF user, new Brave user. Turning off all the bloat in Brave makes it basically Chromium. Reason I'm switching is like FF, Brave has a self-hosted sync, however unlike Firefox, Brave has a tabbed user experience on Android tablets. If FF had that, I would not be switching.
I see where you are coming from, but at the end Firefox is just better from a privacy point of view (open source).
Brave is also open source.
I didn't know that, but after reading all these comments, its CEO doesn't look like pro privacy, am I wrong? Maybe, but for now I stick with FireFox.
No clue, but Brave was billed as a privacy focused browser. It regularly rates about the same as Firefox (by reviewers) for privacy unless you use custom FF configs which can go further. I've built and compiled both from scratch (contributing), and don't have concerns with either, though I prefer FF.
