I've never understood wtf people use Chrome for anyways. Technically speaking its by far the worst browser now that MS has all but killed IE
I'm guessing a mixture of A) habit and B) Android phones.
I'm using brave right now on an android phone writing this comment.
Exactly. It's mostly due to laziness and fear of change. Using brave on Android phone right now
I didn't even think about android phones. They pretty much all still come with chrome as the default browser I guess.
Still, even outside of politics and privacy policies, chrome is shit with resources.
Chrome is a RAM hog compared to other browsers, but only one that'll run certain extensions I need for work.
There are open source browsers that will run every chrome extension.
Doesn't Brave run them? I kind of need Chrome extensions too. Migrating to Brave right now in fact...
DISSENTER BROWSER
It's a fork of Brave but with all their stuff disabled like "brave rewards".
I updot that emotion
Updonged for familiar song and compelling username
ungoogled chromium though
Brave isn't owned by Google. It doesn't send data to Google. It doesn't financially benefit Google in any way. Brave's CEO is the Mozilla co-founder who was ousted for being a conservative. What's the problem?
Neither is ungoogled chromium, neither does ungoogled chromium (doesn't use strange chinese crypto either), neither does ungoogled chromium, and I trust fairly anonymous projects a lot more that attention-whoring ones.
I think you may be talking to a brave shill, not that there is anything wrong with it.
Do you have a link to the ungoogled chromium? I can't find it anywhere...found this: https://ungoogled-software.github.io/ungoogled-chromium-binaries/
Brave was proven to be just as shitty as chrome around the time Pim Tool started shilling for it.
How come? What's shitty about it, aside from shitty sync capability?
Already using Brave, LOVE the ad blocking on YouTube.
Here is a big selling point about moving over - Brave accepts the plugins from chrome marketplace
Brave is downstream from Chromium though.
It's supposedly degoogled, but so is: https://ungoogled-software.github.io/ungoogled-chromium-binaries/
I stopped using that shit years ago.
Brave.
Duck duck go for the win.
All the school kids use it on their Chromebooks
I wonder if creating a solid in-place drop-in replacement for Chrome OS could be lucrative, even via crouton.
Made the switch about a month back, and yes, I'm loving Brave. Faster. Chrome started out lean and fast years back, but has become very bloated and invasive. Can you believe they run a "Software Reporter" process in the background to scan all programs you have installed and report it to them? Supposedly so they can learn what causes any technical problems to Chrome, but that damn process sucks up CPU and memory and slows your machine down (I'm talking desktops here, not mobile). I learned six months back how to hack that to shut that down, and kept using Chrome... but then starting like two months back, Chrome began bringing my computer(s) (multiple workstations and configurations, so wasn't just "environmental" limited to one or two machines) to a standstill for minutes at a time. I never did figure out exactly what was going on there. I uninstalled Chrome and installed Brave, and the browser and my computers are all doing much much better. Fuck Chrome!!! And fuck Google!!!
Holy shit? I knew Google was bad but I didn't know Chrome was doing all that...
I havent used google chrome in years. Tried my best to stick with pre-quantum Firefox or forks of chrome.
Good luck deprogramming ignorant/lazy sheep.
Brave is great... but I am a sys engineer and have hard times reaching my systems and doing work with Brave in the past.
Might be time to give it a try again?
Good luck convincing people to use better websites and services....
Most people are too stupid or just don't care.
I gave Brave an honest try for about a month. I liked it but it wasn't playing nice combined with my VPN. Some of the sites involved banking and business stuff just weren't letting me through. I still have it i installed so maybe it'll get better for me some day.
Lots of those types of sites will semi-work, but functionality will break if you have the full blocking enabled. You can just disable blocking while you're on your backing site, or spend the time to find out exactly which script/extentions they refuse to work without.
There are some other good options out there. Have you tried Dissenter?
I'll give it a try tomorrow. I'm comfy with Firefox but I gave Brave a try immediately when they had some unkind words to say about our President.
I also made the switch when I read Mozilla's deplatforming thoughts.
No clue why you were downvoted. This looks like the correct link to me.
Brave is great but due to its non-sync sync it's missing all of the features that make Chrome attractive.
There is a degoogled version of Chromium, I believe, but I can't locate it at the time of typing this, if you are stuck with Chrome/Chromium as I am.
Here's another resource: https://github.com/tycrek/degoogle
They revamped the sync a few weeks back. It's working pretty flawlessly for me now, across multiple PCs and phone.
