    Surprise, the company that has shady adblocking practices doesn’t want you to use a tool to compare ad blockers…

      They aren’t say anything crazy in that post. But I already know that the sheep mentality and hypocrisy of the “community” only accepts the existence of the crappy Mozilla’s browser, which stays afloat precisely thanks to the biggest ad company in the world.

        In terms of vibes, firefox and brave give off the same queezy “we care about your privicy” half trueth. Read as uncharitably as possable, mozilla gives off a neglectful abusive father vibe where brave has a potential crypto scammer vibe. Being so jumpy about software as I am, following KISS and appearing to have less unknown background machinery is comforting. (caugh I hate “safe browsing” caugh) Firefox probably in reality fails to be properly privacy focused but sells the illusion effectively, and thats a bad thing. Also defaults are powerful and now switching costs are high for me.

          Well, actually FF defaults aren’t that great for privacy. Later on, crypto stuff is disabled by default on Brave, so it’s not like they are stealing your wallet… Agreed on the safe browsing stuff, which I think it’s on by default for both and it’s something I’d prefer not to have in my browser.
