Brave is fine but still collects a lot of user data and isn't privacy centric from their own perspective. Plus their fingerprint protection sucks

People tend to dislike this, but I LOVE gnome. It runs a lil heavy, but damn it's clean, smooth, fast, easy & decluttered.

No dot files, no config, and it's intuitive

I said "apparently" lol. It was still a brave referral link they got money from, so i have no doubt it wasn't a mistake

Apparently it was an auto complete issue that was fixed within 48 hours, but even still, there's always something wrong with Brave multiple times a year

Yeah, I like sync too and you can use Firefox sync with all Firefox based browsers.

Brave's ceo also donated to California political efforts to overturn protections for gay marriage in the past

No, but brave "shields", aka pre installed but shittier unlock origin, can sometimes break plex or other sites that require certain things that could look like trackers

Zen is just preselected no telemetry Firefox, also bleeding edge with Firefox updates

Brave is fine ish but they have issues, and a lot of them, which they usually fix within 24 hours but they've had a track record of like 8-10 issues per year, so just under once a month.

Don't downvote me to hell cause it's a reddit link, sorry, this is the most concise list I know of: https://www.reddit.com/r/browsers/s/AErPH6iMl0
