I boycotted Mozilla’s products ever since they forced their CEO Brendan Eich to resign for simply making a quiet donation of $1,000 to California Proposition 8, which called for supporting traditional marriage in California.
Eich has since developed the BRAVE browser. I’ve been using it for over a year and I found it to be faster, easier to use and relatively secure compared to the Firefox browsers.
Switched to Brave last night, I like the Tor tab option too.
“I boycotted Mozilla’s products ever since”
agreed
dumped them, gladly, proudly and easily.
Same here. I might add that Brave seems to be following the lead of the rest of the tech moguls of late though.
Bingo. Glad I am not the only one to have told them to bugger off on account of that political crappola. Mozilla went off the rails years ago, technically too, not just imposing ideology. Once FFox hit version 40 or so additional “features” were released on such a rapis basis that it was obvious they were racing against the development of addons that blocked adverts. They sold themselves to advertisers.
I recall Brave, but not enough to comment.
I do maintain the ESR versions of FFox, 45 and 52. Both allow addons and don’t suffer from too many features. They are designed for corporate environments where regular “updates” are unpopular. Just don’t allow updates and keep your anti-virus updated. Oh, and ESR52 is sloooooow.
I reluctantly tried Brave as a replacement. After a little getting used to it...I LOVE it! Would never go back!
