@itsfoss@mastodon.social Brave is literally adware.

@itsfoss@mastodon.social this is like Trump vs Kamala all over again. Both suck but one is clearly “better” than the other.

@itsfoss@mastodon.social On that privacy tests website, few entire sections that are shown red for Firefox, would turn green with uBlock Origin with privacy/anti-tracking filters selected.

I'm also surprised by ECH being marked as not supported. It should be on by default since Firefox 119.

Funny. Why don't test Ff and Brave yourself?

There:

https://coveryourtracks.eff.org
https://www.deviceinfo.me
https://browserleaks.com
...

Brave browser is, by default, better than Ff for privacy protection including fingerprint resistance...

With Ff there is a lot of job to reach the same level. This for example:

@itsfoss@mastodon.social they're both lying about the search engine. Both default to Google when you install them. And Brave is more easy to harden rather that Firefox. Brave's dependency on cryptocurrency gives them negative points. And personally, Luke Mulks doesn't have much respect from me.

@itsfoss@mastodon.social Bringing the kettle to the pot, and they both deserve each other. 🤣👍

Rules

While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.

Rules

  1. Always be civil and respectful
    Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity.

  2. Don't be a bigot
    No form of bigotry will be tolerated.

  3. Don't post security compromising suggestions
    If you do, include an obvious and clear warning.

  4. Don't post conspiracy theories
    Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources.

  5. Don't accuse others of shilling
    Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate.

  6. Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
    Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.
