In light of Mozilla’s recent policy changes, we no longer feel assured that Firefox aligns with our commitment to protect your privacy. This prompted us to revisit the choice of default web browser in Zorin OS 17.3.

Definitely not using or recommending Zorin OS after this. I don't appreciate Brave's integrated cryptocurrency bloatware or the fact that Brave was founded as a competitor to Firefox by a homophobe who was ousted from Mozilla for his anti-LGBT political contributions.

Probably going to stop suggesting Zorin to new users. Can't trust a distro that defaults crypto bro chromium.

Firefox policies are getting sketch so let's switch our default to brave the chromium browser with a sketch history?

Just throw librewolf or something on it and call it a day.

Also specifying (old) and (new) like we have 0 reading comprehension is a bit insulting, but maybe I'm just being bitter.

Brave is trash.

Isn't Brave also a controversial choice? I thought something was sketchy about them. Librewolf would make a better choice.
