    Brave is an odd inclusion in the fifth panel, since quite a few people, myself included, use it and are quite happy with it. To each their own, I suppose.

        Several reasons.

        1. Mobile. I tried Mull but my fingerprint was very unique (according to EFF). Brave randomizes it, so I should be more anonymous.
        2. Chrome-based. Much as I want to use a Gecko-based browser just to offset how much Chrome is used, many sites and extensions work better on Chrome-based browsers.
        3. Brave Search: I’ve used DuckDuckGo (which is a lil’ sketch lately) and Startpage, but I like the result from Brave Search better. I could change that to be my default in another browser, but I haven’t seen a reason.
        4. Security. As far as I can tell, Brave gets a lot of hate baking their crypto-currency into the browser. But I was easily able to turn off all reminders and UI elements of it without issue. I’m not earning anything; I have no Brave account. I don’t feel pressured into their crypto in any way, so it doesn’t bother me. It still seems like a very secure browser to my knowledge, unless some debacle I missed has marred their reputation. I don’t really want to go through the trouble of hardening Firefox when Brave does it out of the gate.

        If my reasons are wrong, please correct me (with sources please since I have seen too many people go “Brave bad, lol. Crypto.”). I’d also love to try out a new browser if there are better options. I’ve heard great things about LibreWolf, but that is desktop only afaik and I haven’t seen if it does better than Brave on fingerprinting.

      Almost a decade ago that was true. I use budget Android phones, and Brave was the only ad-blocking browser I could use. Firefox with ad-blocking plugins was slower than Chrome with ads. Brave was chromium based and was by far the most responsive way to browse the web.

      Firefox got their act together and now the Android version is great. And the plugins work well. Brave began substituting some site ads for their own ads, if I remember correctly. You’d see fewer ads, but Brave was getting some money to let a few through.

        Firefox got their act together and now the Android version is great.

        It’s fine, but I wouldn’t go as far as to call it “great”. There are still some bugs that simply don’t exist on Chromium-based Android browsers. For example, there are many cases where if I seek a video it will reduce the framerate to something like 0.5-1fps for 10 seconds or so. Not to mention some video codecs being completely absent. Yes, I know there’s licensing shenanigans going on, but at the end of the day Firefox can’t play some videos that Chromium can.

        I will concede that Firefox (on Android) is in some ways superior to other Chromium based browsers because of add-ons. They’re very nice, and I’ve had no problems with them.
