I've been dual welding browsers since chrome came out. The second they started talking about deprecating manifest 2, I test drove Vivaldi and Brave. Now they're set up as my second.
I tried to convert over to Libwolf, But it absolutely massacres my passkeys.
I plan to main Firefox until they do something stupid which I think is inevitable with their recent statements.
I'm just hoping that by the time The other Firefox shoe drops there will be something else viable on the market. I don't know how long Brave and Vivaldi can hold out with chromium changing underneath them
I wouldn’t trust Brave as it has a poor track record for privacy and is often used as a crypto miner behind the scenes.
That's a fairly long time ago now and the crypto token crap is off by default. As far as I know they are the only browser with a paid development team that is trying to combat YouTube ads. And they're blocking technique is unique amongst the options we have. If it comes down to using Brave for YouTube, I have no problem with doing that.
The only thing stopping me moving to Brave is the awful bookmark sync implementation... when I used it for a small period in the past it was keeping some I'd long deleted on other devices etc
I also would prefer it to implement bookmark separators (like both Vivaldi and FF do) but I can live without those if they sorted out the sync.
Yeah, I don't use their sync for bookmarks. I just keep the plugins the same with that. I installed the X bookmarks plugin everywhere and just do a manual export/import when I want to. Is keeping my toolbars lined up between all the different browsers.
