I've seen a lot of people say to use the Brave browser. But I've also seen people say that they do not like the browser. Unsure why, though. In my research, it seems that Brave is just a fork off of Chrome... so basically Chrome with a fancy ad-blocker?

I checked out Gab today and saw they had a browser too... Dissenter... and seems to be open-source.

If you've used or know about these, what are your experiences with these browsers? What do you use (even if not these two)? Why?

I no longer want to support tech companies that disrespect we the people, America and its values at large.

Bonus for any other advice regarding replacing tech services elsewhere, such as email, cloud storage, VPN. Thanks for reading! :)

I thought firefox was one of the good ones. Is that not the case?

They've been supporting woke trash for some time, if I am not mistaken. And most recently, they said in a blog post that "more than deplatforming" needs to be done:

While their points about advertising I can get behind, it is this point in particular that is worrisome:

Turn on by default the tools to amplify factual voices over disinformation.

You know they mean MSM and liberal narratives when they say "amplify factual voices." And what does "by default" mean? Meaning that your tech services will automatically filter out information that THEY deem as "disinformation"? Do I get a say in the matter of whether or not I want such filtering?

I do not need tech protecting me online. That's me and my brain's job.
