Warning to all Brave Browser Users

Blocking variations.brave.com which is used for A/B testing could potentially break Brave’s functionalities. For me did Brave’s “forgetful browsing” feature broke which seems to be disabled by default if you block this domain.

            Yes, but when good options exist, why give thought to which bad option is less bad?

              Because we need less google control. Also brave is pretty user friendly

                Brave is chromium based, which gives Google control over web standards.

                Firefox is the good option. It is not controlled by Google.

        You’d need a very good reason to not use Firefox given that it’s all that stands against a Google monopoly on web standards. I was using a Chromium-based browser myself until Opera and Microsoft both abandoned their own browser engines - after that I couldn’t possibly justify not supporting Firefox.

        Can we not downvote genuine questions like this? All you do is discourage people wanting to learn and make it harder for people that think differently than you to see arguments against them.

        Save the downvotes for rude or bad faith comments.

            I wasn’t sure how to word my reply, but I was referring to all the people downvoting your response and not you. Unsure if that came across.

              Idk wtf you’re saying. You mean stock firefox as in firefox with no settings changed? If so, it’s not great but in no way as bad as chrome. That’s just a ridiculous statement. That being said, hardened Firefox is fine and it’s not very hard to do. By harden i mean common sense tweaks. I don’t use arkenfox or anything. I think it’s overkill at that point.
