Quite a controversial decision.... I love Kagi though, but I don't understand why they would want to drag Brave into this.

All chromium based browsers are shit. Switch to hardened firefox or librewolf

I've used firefox for years, in fact I sitll have librewolf on my PC with a custom userChrome.css, but the browsing experience is only getting worse every year and mozilla only breaks userChrome with every new update.

I also mentioned librewolf in my original comment already.

Plus I am not sure how anyone can even trust Brave’s browser when they are sketchy as fuck.

They are open source lol

The same functionality can be achieved if you spend literally like 5 minutes on it

How do you sync your browser sessions without having to use an email? This is what mostly keeps me on brave.

Also it really took me a while to get librewolf to block the cookie prompts from websites, because I had to go into the ublock origin settings and find the filter that blocks the cookie prompts, brave on the other hand does this automatically for you. As well as already having a built in dark mode, you don't have to install 6 different extensions which is what I have on librewolf to get it to work.

Also on linux firefox maps the alt+number keys to change tabs instead of using control+number keys, again on brave this comes by default, on firefox that is also another extension that needs to be added to fix that.

In fact can you even change the background color of the new tab page in firefox? On brave it is super easy, it even lets you use an image, on librewolf I had to use a custom userContent.css for something so basic wtf.

Also you didn't go into details on what makes a browser good for privacy, brave can even block scripts if we are talking about going beyond the default settings, which on librewolf you have to use an extension as well to achive that.
