I think it is.
It has a built-in VPN that can be activated. My Norton 360 also gives me anonymity.
Go with Pale Moon, then.

Not exactly; it uses the Google Blink layout engine, called WebKit.

We just got some crap banner about misinfomation from the president from Firefox, that is basically supportive of the censorship of him, and we are switching out.

You repeatedly seem to confuse Chrome with chromium.

I know the diff between the two. Ask me any question regarding the compilation of chromium. I’ll ask, what’s the first step?

Hey my Linux friend, I am in the same position. I had issues with the Linux version of Brave. And I absolutely must have NoScript. So I am playing with chasing down options now. I will drop a line if I come up with something.
I would recommend TOR because it is not just for the onion network, it can be used for the normal top level sites too. But it is starting to have problems. They are setting up server security now that doesn’t like a lot of the TOR exit nodes. So when it sees an exit node it doesn’t like it makes you go though a Google captcha session to continue. Well... that hooks you right back to Google again.
But if I find a good combination I will update Bob. :)

I don’t trust anything linked to Google. Avoid that as much as possible.

Chrome is prolly your best bet. It’s open source and developed by people of all stripes. And it will have the latest security patches. Ah yes, Chrome. Google's all-seeing eye.

1 thing I don’t like about Brave is you can’t put the bookmarks folder on the left side? Like I have on FireFox and most other browsers.
Or is it just me?
To: wally_bert
Just ditched Firefox and got to tell them why.
Free speech is a thing.
You “deplatformed” Trump so I got rid of you.
Embrace the suck.

I haven't updated FF in 6 months so I think I'm ok.
I believe they would likely consider me a bad actor tho.
I'm unemployed and have spent the entire summer plagiarizing all of you here on FR cutting and pasting your best remarks directly to fox news online discussions. 12 hours today alone so far. Good clean fun!

TOR is god for anonymity, but at the safest setting, most websites do not work. Ones like 4chan or 8kun(Q spot) do. Lots of racism and foulness just in those two.
