I love the privacy of the Brave browser but a couple of things made me decide to switch back to Firefox:
- More and more sites seem to be dropping support for Brave (as shown above). This is probably because they cannot track you as effectively.
- Brave is based on Chromium which Google controls. Google is using its Chromium code to treat users like children, monopolize browser behavior, and break the web.
- Chromium’s approach to treating you like a child was the final straw for me. Turning off “safe browsing” prevents you from downloading anything. Ridiculous.
I still plan to use Brave Search since it’s the most private search engine and doesn’t censor its results.
