Firefox

"Forget the fox!"

... "Contains ads"

No, I don't think I will.

Contains Ads

I don't know why anyone ever installed Brave

Brave? The browser that hides ads and substitutes their own? The one that keeps you private from Google AdSense so they can sell your data themselves? The one that keeps their Chromium build lean, so that you don’t notice the crypto miner running along side of it?

The fucking PayPal Honey of browsers? When the fuck did they ever look good? They’re like the “Banzai Buddy” of the HTML5 era

I have been using Brave for the last year and I did like it as a mobile browser. But today I noticed that when I was searching about abortion and etopic pregnancy (fact checking a really dumb article) that all of a sudden their AI crap was throwing "no results available" errors. I checked some other left leaning topics and sure enough it no longer gives you AI results. So I immediately uninstalled that shit from my phone because fuck them.

Brave has never had a good look.

Fuck Brave, it's based on Chromium and contains crypto BS.

The same Brave founded by the anti-LGBTQ+ & anti-DEI CEO that doesn't believe that gay people should have the same rights as straight people? Color me shocked!

I think anyone who is already using Firefox knows very well why they wouldn't want to use Brave 🤷 (My main reasons were being a Chromium browser and having unwanted crypto features included.)

Edit: Oh yes, and the CEO's homophobia is not helping either...

Not very professional.

It's not the 90s and they are not rivaling fast food chains.

It's technically correct with all of these but extremely disingenuous.

"Was getting tired Brave, and noticed they mentioned Firefox in their ads. Was curious what that was and upon launching Firefox, immediately I felt something, my disappointment is no longer immeasurable, and my day is no longer ruined!"

brave = 0/5 🤮

Firefox = 6/5 😎

"Fire the Fox" would have been a better slogan

Brave? You mean "browser for bigots"?

Daily reminder that Brave uses Chromium, an open source project where all the commits are approved or denied by Google devs.

I don't know much about brave except that its chromium based and apparently removes web ads as its main feature. Why are they running ads? Why do I keep getting this browser recommended? How the fuck do they make money to be able to target me with this info? Something is off and I don't like it. I feel like the pressure to use brave isnt coming to me organically so I'm staying clear of it. I just have a bad feeling and I'll trust my gut on this.

Broke one of the golden rules of advertising (at least the advertising lessons I learned from an old advertising guy I knew a long time ago)

Never mention your competition in your advertising .... because every time you do, you've given them free advertising.

Forget the Lion

Hahahhaah. If they are so desperate they are trying to knock off the 10 or so users on Firefox they must really be in dire straights.

?

Meh, they can shoot at Firefox if they want, but it's actually pretty good marketing for the Fox.

I ditched this crap years ago. Fuck this Trojan horse.

I never liked or trusted Brave for what it claims it fights for

Guess you're outside the EU or something? Cause it looks different over here, Firefox isn't mentioned here. Also they're at 4.9 instead of 4.7 for some reason. Either way, fuck brave.

How is it more private, when the browser is the one handling your data to show you ads, on top of the websites trying to do the same. So, extra ads? Wtf.

Firefox is my main browser, but I occasionally need a Chromium browser for technical reasons. I had been using Brave - note the past tense there. Any suggestions for my new secondary browser?

Desperate much??
