I’m choosing a main browser, and I think that firefox with ublock and brave are probably equally good in terms of privacy and security, both of them look quite nice, and both are FOSS. The final thing that I’m considering is resource consumption. This reddit post shows that firefox is better than brave in benchmarks and ram consumption, but what about when firefox has ublock running and brave has all their preinstalled “extension” like brave rewards and wallet disabled (except brave shields is left enabled)?
Edit: some people are mentioning brave’s cryptocurrency. I don’t want to use that, and I would just turn it off and use brave as an improved chrome.
Too many people here seem to be too focused on cryptocurrency and ignore the data mining that Firefox does, even when you turn off telemetry collection in Firefox settings.
I’m not saying Firefox is bad, but cryptocurrency issues of brave don’t compare to the data mining of Firefox. Use what you prefer, as either are very good browsers when setup right.
That sounds interesting. Do you have anything going in depth about what data is being collected by Firefox? I haven’t heard about that before now.
I like it with sauce, pretty please.
