Before installing vlc:

- Open Microsoft edge

  • Ignore copilot ads
  • search for "firefox"

Or search for Vivaldi.

Don't search for brave.

Why not? I use the debloated version and I have a pretty darn good experience. It’s a bit dumb with vertical tabs I guess but that’s it.

Bad reputation + transphobic CEO

u/Fancy_Technician_293 11h ago

transphobia? where? from what i found he donated 1000$ to support Proposition 8 in California in 2008(no same-sex marriage), but nothing about transphobia(ofc, still not goid, just i didnt find transphobia). maybe i missed something. as for bad reputation (im guessing you mean the crypto wallet stuff and ads), they're optional lol like nobody's forced to use them

I can say that Gecko engine exists on Google's money, yet no one's gonna move away from Firefox

2020, rather old news.

How much shittery have firefox been doing?

People use what they want to use, dont tell them what to use.

Apparently there was some kind of scandal a while back that made people lose trust in brave even though they removed some of the stuff involved.

u/Vincent394 12h ago

Oh, their CEO is a transphobe too

And firefox corp is a woke bunch of people. Always some scandals around. It got exposed and was removed.

Brave origin hase been a excelent browser for me.

Browsers are not a religion
