After installing Brave I was getting some kind of failed login popup in my GNOME desktop environment. Uninstalled it and the popup disappeared. It gave me the heeby jeebies about Brave.

Not to defend Brave, but this sounds like it was just a pop-up for the Gnome key wallet or something like that.

Android app person here. They used that title in an A/B test to see if it would help them get more installs for when people searched "Firefox". That is why 1. They picked the words "fire" and "fox", and 2. Why you're not seeing it.

Fox around and find out

I tried it a few years ago. Ditched it because it's just another chromium browser.

Firefox has been my main for about 6 years now.

I fell for it because Al Swiegerts book: "Automate the boring stuff" used it in the webscrape sample.

After that I just kept using it. And felt justified in my choice when I realized the only other browsers left are chrome and Safari.

I just learned that Safari is a fork on Konquorer. So, that's interesting.

Personally I never even considered installing it because of its stupid name.

I use Brave for solely one purpose that I hope to see in Firefox one day. It’s the only app I’ve found that lets you locally download a web video and play it natively on CarPlay. I rarely use it, but it’s handy when I need it.

Do you often watch videos while driving? Or am I missing something?

Fennec for the phone, Qutebrowser for the desktop. Life is good.
