Buckleup !codecels new browser comparison chart dropped!

https://i.rdrama.net/images/1716589149898803.webp

Here is /r/firefox sneeding about it https://old.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/1czpzs3/a_bad_infographic_comparing_various_browsers_from/

Edit: forgot to add the source:

There are many things one could note, but just for starters:

  • Firefox does include anti-fingerprinting. We could say much about this, but at the very least it's there.
  • Telemetry is not inherently bad, especially when you can turn it off(as is the case with Firefox). Moreover, Firefox is open source, so you can verify that what telemetry gets collected. "Type + num. of connections" is just a ridiculous metric.
  • Firefox is certainly the most tweakable with perhaps Vivaldi having an edge if we exclude userCSS, but that's debatable.
  • Ease of use is another ridiculous metric, that you'd expect Firefox to win. People of all ages use it.

People seem to just read the marketing on each browser's website and take them at face value.

LTT IN 2024 :#!marseyrofl:

LESS TELEMETRY SENT = LESS STARS MORE TELEMETRY MORE STARS :marseylulz:

Everyone shilling for brave should be shot! !commenters use EDGE OR FIREFOX


Way back in 2016, Brave promised to remove banner ads from websites and replace them with their own, basically trying to extract money directly from websites without the consent of their owners

In the same year, CEO Brendan Eich unilaterally added a fringe, pay-to-win Wikipedia clone into the default search engine list.

In 2018, Tom Scott and other creators noticed Brave was soliciting donations in their names without their knowledge or consent.

In 2020, Brave got caught injecting URLs with affiliate codes when users tried browsing to various websites.

Also in 2020, they silently started injecting ads into their home page backgrounds, pocketing the revenue. There was a lot of pushback: "the sponsored backgrounds give a bad first impression." Further requests were ignored (immediately closed)

In 2021, Brave's TOR window was found leaking DNS queries, and a patch was only widely deployed after articles called them out. (h/t schklom for pointing this out!)

In 2022, Brave floated the idea of further discouraging users from disabling sponsored messages.

In 2023, Brave got caught installing a paid VPN service on users' computers without their consent.

In 2024, Brave gave up on providing advanced fingerprint protection, citing flawed statistics (people who would enable the protection would likely disable Brave telemetry).

Other notes

They partnered with NewEgg to ship ads in boxes.

recommends MS Edge, basically IE wrapped in Chrome, or Activist Goyslop browser over Brave

What a stupid BIPOC. If you're gonna call Brave out, offer something actually better like Pale Moon or Librewolf. Your mom must have fricked a donkey to produce such an r-slured son. Your donkey dad must have been molested by his owner and your mother must be a hardcore coal burner and dog fricker otherwise.

Literally a spammer...

:marseytunaktunak: :marseytunaktunak:

Of course if you want BIPOCy browsers controlled by the government and leftoid masses, go for Edge or Fireflop. Otherwise, go Chad and get something better.

Btw, I build my own brave from source neighbor.

All these cute twinks think their VPNs and random butt browsers are giving them privacy, brain dead motherlovers. No one is giving you anything, they all sell your data just like everyone else.

Also every solution relies on your ISP not giving you up since encryption has been backdoored for years by now

no one would use an encryption exploit for something that r-slurred.
