What do you think about Brave?
>>
>>108772612
It's alright IF you remove all of the bloat OR use Brave Origin, I do feel bad for macOS/Windows users as they have to pay for it tho, weird decision considering Brave's userbase i 90% there.
The CEO is pretty based for hating on LGBTQ+ so it's just a plus.
With that said, I'm still staying on Firefox, they/them Kit is pretty cute.

One of only two Chromium forks that is entirely usable and relatively private OOTB (the other being Vivaldi). Beats using vanilla Chromium, and of course is far preferable to Chrome itself. Will always stick with Firefox and forks as my main, but whenever Chrome is a must, I turn to Brave or Vivaldi.

ah yeah. private. sure. i remember when they made a big whoopise with tor support and anyone that entered in an onion address had that address sent to your ISP's DNS or whatever other pubic DNS you had setup. and when that failed it would then try tor, and nobody was ever sure how long brave was trying to resolve onion addresses using a fucking DNS for and not realized it. totally a bug according to brenda kike and the tards that work on that slop.

best browser

i have done the autism of niche browsers

i have attempted to use firefox

i can install ublock on chrome if needed (not sure how well it works these days)

brave does adblocking by default and it works. you can disable all the crap they push in 10 secs after install

on mobile it gives you youtube premium features (background play, no ads) for free

just use brave

so both chrome and brave have bad defaults. you need to change things after install. but for some reason that makes you prefer brave?

Origin is the browser I've been waiting for desu. If I ran macOS or Linux I'd be 100% OK paying $60 for a browser with all of the bullshit ripped out of it.

brave origin is actually two browsers. one of them only has bullshit disabled.
https://github.com/brave/brave-core/blob/d00725b79ca1df80dc768d448ac4a4cf39860035/brave-origin-spec.md#distribution-modes
the one actually stripped from the bullshit is desktop only.
>>
>>108772612
Anons hate it because it's chromium based and it just works(tm).
Good browser and it's available on every platform. I'd recommend using Origin on Linux or debloating it on other platforms tho.

>>108772712
Making Brave Origin free on Linux might incentivize devs to package Brave by default on their distros instead of Firefox.

It isn't free on other platforms because Brave is a company, and they need to make a profit. Windows and Apple users are more likely to pay for something like this.

>>108775101
>I'd be 100% OK paying $60 for a browser with all of the bullshit ripped out of it.
I'd gladly pay 20 bucks, $60 for a browser with just 10 activations is too expensive
>>
I don't say this often but I have a strong feeling like brave is legit shilled on 4chan. Like the marketing department has a slack channel where they coordinate whose turn it is to go make a 4chan thread about it. So if you use brave you are legit goycattle

AFAIK they're working on a system that will let you reclaim unused activations every month, for now you just have to contact customer service to have them removed. Also as others said you don't even need an activation for Linux so you can just save them for Android, Windows and god forbid, macOS.

Switched away after seeing people on their Mastodon instance grave dancing on Scott Adams after dying of prostate cancer, I recently lost a close family member to the same thing and seeing those posts genuinely disgusted me so bad I dropped that shit altogether and switched to Opera. I'm legitimately thinking about buying Brave Origin just to give money to a company the trannies hate and also isn't filled with a userbase that wants people like me dead.

To
be
fair
Even windows was making that mistake around this time, as was firefox. When DoH was first introduced, almost nothing respected it and something like cryptproxy was almost a necessity if you ever wanted to have certainty that your PC was using it in any capcity. Same with DNSSEC which major DNS services still can't use to this day despite being a 25 year old standard.
I can fault Brave for fucking it up but again, everyone was fucking it up. Nobody was taking DNS security seriously, and the few who did would recommend a daemon like dnscrypt-proxy. OpenNIC has been suggesting it before firefox or chrome offered DoH in the browser. Chrome still doesn't have a good way to redirect DNS at the browser level. The whole thing was a patchwork mess.

I don't see and reason to use Origin for now.
I've found Origin even worse cause I can't install browser extension and managed policy which allows only one and only browser extension failed to apply.
Some privacy forced brave://flags/ missing.

In compare Origin still very RAW and I would not pay for it at least for now.

I don't see any better things comparing to regular Brave (which I still use as main browser daily).

Members from their teams who work on the ad-blocking components are friendly and attend the same conferences / hackathons. Vivaldi doesn't seem to participate on the same level.

>>108780142
What's strange is that desktop Opera's ad blocker isn't as good as the mobile one, apparently the mobile version is uBlock Origin based too.
>>
>>108780062
>went back to brave, it has better stats on all the adblocking sites
those sites are worthless since they cannot detect redirects. redirects are superior to outright blocks since anti-adblock scripts cannot easily detect those.
more from the ublock origin author:
https://nitter.poast.org/gorhill/status/1583581072197312512
>>
>>108780271
both have the same blocking performance since i run ublock origin on both the difference is tracking and fingerprinting. brave are consistently the best in that and i remember how they were the very first browser to block the use of of site glypth (icon that appears to the left of the tab button) as a tracking mechanism. theyre consistently early in anti tracking/fingerprinting/other security stuff

Why is it $60???
>>
>>108772612
I may actually buy that premium version if I hear good things about it.
I'm sick of having to change browsers every few years because the people in charge of most browsers want to make everything remarkably shit at the input of no one.

I also don't want to buy it for a very simple reason: If he has to sell a non-shitty version of a browser, why not just make his normal browser not shitty?
All in all it paints a grim outlook for the internet in general that this has to exist in the first place.
>>
>>108776703
Having a larger physical size doesn't mean it has more bloat. We care about the memory and resource usage, when we talk about bloat. Not hard disk space.

Even on that metric, That's almost the same size as the default chrome browser's .deb file when installed.

https://deb.pkgs.org/apps/google-amd64/google-chrome-stable_148.0.7778.96-1_amd64.deb.html
>Installed size 405.31 MB

What your post is actually proving is that Brave Origin has very little bloat and is almost identical in size to a default chrome install. You've unintentionally made a very compelling argument for why Brave has little if any bloat at all.

you should only use one anti-tracking tool. that tool should be ublock origin. leaving both ublock origin and brave shields on is making neither of them work well.
>theyre consistently early in anti tracking/fingerprinting/other security stuff
brave gave up on this since it broke too many sites:
https://brave.com/privacy-updates/28-sunsetting-strict-fingerprinting-mode/
now only brave shields does some minor anti-fingerprinting but brave shields conflicts with other adblockers like ublock origin.
