Can someone inform me what's wrong with the brave browser?

[–] [email protected] 25 points 2 years ago (6 children)

It's chromium and the company sells telemetry data to advertisers. It's quite literally doing the thing it draws users in with.

Is Firefox not also using chromium?

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 years ago (1 children)

No, Firefox is entirely distinct from chromium.

I did not know this, thank you.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Firefox does not use Chromium. However, people get confused because when you mod FF you change the userChrome file with CSS.
FF has had that file name even before Google had a browser.

Firefox uses their own engine, Gecko
