Has anyone switched from FireFox?
I am trying out Brave now on my Macbook and it just seems so much nicer than FireFox. I really like FireFox on PC but on my MacBook it just seems so slow and an absolute CPU hog.
I was just wondering what you prefer about Brave over something like FireFox?
i've switched....was always a big fan of FF but in recent years it seems a new version will start out faster and more streamlined but after a couple of months it'll slow right down and no amount of deleting history or clearing cache will fix it again....
I have, having a hard time keeping FF running plus theres the censorship issues showing that Mozilla now or always has been evil.
Source for what? That ff is evil? Dissenter ban is proof enough for me. Umm indeed
I don't think removing a plugin due to it mainly being used for hate speech marks Mozilla as an "evil" company. Yes, it is censorship, but that is unimaginably far from the definition of evil...
This is America not the UK, hate speech do not exist except is some Marxist fever dream.
Unfortunately it does exist, though not in law, and the reason Mozilla removed the add-on is because if they failed to they would be bullied and boycotted by the journalists and article readers until they did. A sad reality, but one we live with.
You may, but the rest of us see censorship for what it is, evil.
I would really have to disagree with you if you truly believe that censorship is "profoundly immoral and wicked". It is subjective and all, so there's no point arguing over it, but I would pin something that is "profoundly immoral and wicked" for something like murdering another person because you don't agree with their beliefs.
I'm definitely anti- censorship, but I wouldn't say it's anywhere near the "evil" mark.
Yes. I wanted out of the Google ecosystem and so switched from Chrome to FF.
Was happy enough for a short amount of time and then too many niggles became a bane.
Switching to Brave was easy and now I love it!
Been using FF since about version 3. I Donated several times and suffered though their growing pains. When they started getting political and arrogant, but the product was improving little by little , I tolerated it since it wasn't Google and every one is entitled have an opinion.
When they announced that they would allow PING tracking by default with no option to change it in about:config , it appeared they violated their prime directive. PRIVACY above all else.
Brave is going to be my browser. It's stable, fast and private. Not many options to change themes nor a zillion extension assortment but those features just offer more opportunity to break the browser. It satisfies my modest needs.
I didn't make the decision easily. It is like losing an old friend
Just started using after the addon cert debacle. I'm also testing Waterfox.
No brainier I prefer everything, try it and see you can always switch back if it’s not for you .
I am trying it right now on my Macbook, where Firefox is awful, and it's better in just about every way.
And it’s still not mainnet yet ,any issues you have could help with developing the browser just submit them to the brave team on the official brave browser site reddit .they’re amazing at any follow up enjoy
I switched and haven't looked back. Any issues I've had have been minor and fixed with an update quickly.
Switched for a bit from FF to Brave, found out it did not work well, switched back.
Just did. Firefox committed a cardinal sin, disabled all extensions in a live browser session for all users tonight. That is a big ass bug that should have been caught in development. Security certificates are nothing to play with.

Does it really have an ad blocker built in or does it only block certain ads? I still really enjoy Firefox but I wouldn't mind having Brave as a secondary browser.
