Yea I don’t think it’s bad for privacy, just there are better options out there which get you the same privacy while also addressing other issues? Issues like Chromium, history of controversies and shady behaviour (crypto, replacing ads with their own), the business model, and issues with the CEO.
Instead, why not just use standard Firefox? The only downside I’ve heard is that the default settings don’t do what Brave does when you first install each browser, but that’s a weak argument considering we all modify the settings anyway. Someone should just outline which Firefox settings should be flipped to match default Brave, and we can be done with the weekly ‘Why not Brave’ discussions
I use Firefox as my daily browser, and run Mullvad browser when I need to be cautious with a task.
Well stuff like chromegle, there isn’t anything similar on Firefox, and there are just less extensions in general. Probably the dumbest reason but doesn’t change the fact that i need them
There’s nothing wrong with Firefox’s UI. I’ve been using it for years, along side Chrome and whatever else my work makes me use. For home stuff, I use Firefox, and I don’t notice any difference except they don’t incessantly track me.
Stop using chromium.

Easier option is to use Librewolf since they do a lot of work for you
Or Mull if you’re on Android
Can’t, i need chromium extensions
Like what?

I’ll do it when Firefox gets a UI that looks modern.
edit - fine

Boy, that’s a hot take
Dark theme on most Linux distros looks clean with breeze or… whatever dark theme gnome users use. Quite nice, really. I’m cool with the angular look.

I take it you’re using Safari and not a Chromium based browser then?
