Out of the box Brave is more private than Firefox, but on FF you can harden it to increase privacy a lot. If you want you can add Ublock Origins extension to Brave if you don't want to use the included adblocker, it works just fine. You can toggle off all that crypto crap if you don't want it and Brave's adblocker is fine for most users, you can setup which filters to use, currently using Fanboy annoyances list with Ublock annoyances list (more filter recommendations are welcome to try them). I'm enjoying Brave a lot more now as it feels responsive and faster than Firefox on some pages but it lacks FF's customization that I'm used to sadly. Having used Firefox for so long and recently switching in between FF and Brave. I'm not well versed in technical elements of how browsers work, my knowledge is based only on the digested information I've gathered while doing my own research which browser I should use. Tl dr? This comment summarizes current browser state really well. Thankfully it can be fully disabled if you don't want to use it. The only real downside to Brave (lack of customization not including as that's up to preference) is the cryptocrap it has. If you are used to Chrome and want the privacy it lacks, Brave is the obvious next step. I really like Firefox but it lags behind the Brave experience. Regardless, uBlockOrigin works better in Firefox.įirefox is far from perfect but it's mere existence is important because it opposes the Chromium monoculture and by extension the Google monopoly of browsers, as exemplified by the abovementioned point. It's questionable how affected the rest of the Chromium browsers will be though, for now nobody knows for sure - some say quite a lot, others not at all. Sometimes some websites break for Mozilla as they aren't quite compatible.Ĭhromium based browsers are dependent on what Google does and from what I've read, Google has recently issued a serious nerf to the way adblockers work. Gecko engine from which FF is built doesn't have a per-site process isolation unlike the Chromium based browsers so it's not quite as strong on protection.īecause of how widespread Chrome is, most sites are created in order to work well with it (and by extension other Chromium browsers). If you don't want to tinker around with Firefox itself, you use one of it's hardened forks - Librewolf has the strongest out of the box protection for PC and Mull for Android. If PrivacyTests and DivestOS are to be believed, Brave has better out of the box privacy and security than Firefox but Firefox can be hardened in order to have a stronger privacy/security than Brave.
