They included the biggest browsers. They don't need to include every single browser in existence.
Youch, that's just mean!
I know, right? Where's my entry for lynx, dang it?!
Holy crap, do people still use lynx? (asked in an endearing tone)
yes, I do! helps me to quickly search for information without leaving my beloved terminal. in fact, I have added a custom theme to it(Dracula). I've aliased it to open mojeek by default.
if i'm feeling fancy, then only I fire up librewolf.
You are too cool for school if you use lynx!
mojeek and lynx together, love this combo!
If it's going to be about privacy, they should at least include the privacy oriented browsers even if they aren't the biggest ones out there.
And DuckDuckGo Browser
And lynx
And Brave too, which inconveniently beats firefox hands down in independent privacy checks. The mozilla foundation finally needs to step it up.
That heavily depends. Brave may have better advice/tracker blocking by default, but they send more telemetry. Them being an advertising company also doesn’t speak for them. Brave is a decent browser and on IOS/IPadOS a good option for open source + Adblock, but max privacy would be reconfigured Firefox or Librewolf.
I have no idea why you were down voted. These are facts, not opinions
Fact: Brave is a protection racket wrapped in a crypto scam.
Even if it weren't for the crypto, Brave's CEO is one sleazy, untrustworthy motherfucker. I'd never put my privacy in his hands. Just an absolute dogshit reputation.
I figured there was enough to criticize without needing to resort to ad-hominem attacks against the CEO. However, if we're going there, then I'd be remiss not to point out that he's also the motherfucker who inflicted Javascript upon the world when we could've had a decent language like Python or Scheme in the browser instead. Not to downplay the significance of his bigotry, but that's almost the greatest sin of them all!
Homophobes always come bundled with a lot of other problems. There's no way anyone can trust a homophobe of any kind.
Anyway, blocking you. Have a great life, asshole.
Edit: Bonus fuck javascript
Edit 2: This was so wrong of me, I'm sorry. I'm an ass. Leaving my comment for honesty's sake.
Hey Linky… friendly fire!
That guy was agreeing with you:
Brave bad
JavaScript bad
Bigotry bad
:)
Yeah sorry about that. I see that now. Unblocking engaged.
I'm so used to people trying to shut other people down for "ad hominem attacks" that I had a real misfire. That's embarrassing and wrong of me. Thank you for so gently pointing this out, I appreciate it.
It's also yet another Chromium fork which if there's one thing the world does not need more of, it's Chromium forks

My facts come directly from Brave's own claims, so fuck off with your condescension, fanboi. Your dismissive trolling isn't welcome here.
Find me a claim from Brave's that it's a protection racket.
Find me a claim from Brave's that it's a crypto scam. NOT just that they use crypto, but that it's a scam.
And before you start, a blanket statement of "all crypto is a scam" is not a fact. It's hyperbole and your opinion.
So do you actually have "facts"? Or did you just present opinions as facts?
Of course criminals aren't going to admit that they're criminals. But when they describe their behavior (in this case, man-in-the-middle replacing sites' ads with their own and then extorting them to participate in the crypto scheme in order to replace the revenue) anybody objective would recognize that it is, in fact, criminal.
Sadly its not just "heard". Just google it, you will find enough "incidents" brave had.
Conveniently excluding Vivaldi browser.

Everyone's just trying to strike a balance between protecting privacy and preserving usability - it's not as simple as just enabling the strictest privacy protections, consequences be damned.
