I care about my privacy, though I like it’s UI. Is it really as bad as some say?

    YES, IT IS!

    You should NOT trust Brave to not play fast and loose with your privacy. They already operate an advertising network (it operates on those stupid little BAT tokens) and they DO inject ads and affiliate links.

    I strongly recommend Firefox1 or Librewolf.

    1 - You must install plugins and apply user.js fixes yourself to properly harden Firefox completely against tracking; but this is doable.

      Hey, I use Firefox but I’ve never heard of making edits to the user.js config. Could you point me in the direction of some information about this?

      Someone on the last Brave thread suggested using Floorp and honestly I’ve been loving it. It comes with Tree Style Tabs support but I much I prefer Sidebery so I use Floorp’s built in sidebar with Sidebery instead. It works fantastic, and using Firefox color theming to tweak everything also works well.
