    Brave being listed alongside Firefox

    Bestie Brave is literally just Chromium again. Not to mention the fact that their CEO is someone who got ousted from Firefox for being a tremendous bigot. It’s not a better alternative to Chrome, it’s just the same thing again. It you must use a chromium browser, use ungoogled.

      I personally use Librewolf. Its just a hardened version of Firefox so you don’t have to do it yourself.

        I tried it but didn’t care to find out if there was a way to stop it from deleting all my tabs and logins, and I’m not relogging into everything just because I needed to close my browser.

          It doesn’t delete your stuff it just doesn’t save your history and cookies as a save browser should do. For me that little inconvenience is fine because I get a big privacy benefit out of it IMO.

          You can set exceptions to the cookie deletion in the security settings. I personally have everything I use frequently (invidious and stuff) to keep the login cookies. Or you can just completely disable that feature.

      I think the vanilla Brave Settings are better than Vanilla Firefox. Though something like Firefox with a custom user.js or Librewolf is a lot better than Brave
