    I just don’t trust Firefox. The Mozilla Foundation is just a front for their corporate side, the Mozilla Corporation which somehow reaps in millions in profits despite being a free browser. I read that most of their profits come from letting Google integrate search and other features into Firefox. I’m currently migrating to Librewolf for PC which has the same framework but lots more privacy functionality. For iOS, Brave collects a lot less information about you than Firefox- check the App Store pages for each browser and compare.

      I don’t understand your ranting about mozzila. In the wiki page you posted right there :

      Any profits made by the Mozilla Corporation will be invested back into the Mozilla project. There will be no shareholders, no stock options will be issued and no dividends will be paid

      Where is the profit on the page? The revenue isn’t profit, it’s how much money they make without the costs.

      Then how do you expect a browser to survive without revenue? There are 3 major browser engines on the market today :

      • chromium (backed up by Google, sucking big money)
      • blinkwebkit (baked up by apple, with big money too)
      • Gecko (I think) for Firefox. And it also needs lots of funding.

      Al of them suck up huge amount of money.

      For revenue, they also have more products than Firefox https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Mozilla_products which also make money or not.

        Blink = Chromium. WebKit is what Apple uses (and is what Blink was originally forked from).

          Google doesn’t do anything with Firefox except pay them for searches and to be the default search upon install — which takes 2 seconds to change if you want to.

      The Mozilla Corporation is a tax entity for the Mozilla Foundation. Your bullshit detector is miscalibrated.

      Why is it every time I see something about Brave it’s either singing it’s praises or demonizing it’s failures, there’s literally no in-between
