I am boycotting brave because of its sizeable amount of controversies and because it is American. I have decided to swap to Vivaldi but I have noticed a significant performance decrease on Speedometer 3.1 Benchmarks. Furthermore, according to EFF Cover my Tracks I now have a unique finger print and am easier to track.
My setup consists of using uBlock Origin (normal not lite) instead of Vivaldi’s built in tracker & ad blocker.
Even Vivaldi has started saying certain plugins may not work in the future because they don’t abide by Google’s best practices.
My biggest problem with Firefox is Google meet does not work well with it in Linux. It can take me over a minute to coax the video to work and some builds the audio just never works. A lot of other stuff I use works slow or just poorly in Firefox. I need OWA and PWA’s to work, keeping all of my work things together is just a really big hassle.
I primary Librerwolf, and slip over to Vivaldi or Brave when I have to have something that’s google-ish. Each of the three are loaded down with the plugins that I use regularly and bookmarks are kept synced.
Vivaldi is a no-go for me due to these two reasons:
1- Chromium based 2- Does not respect the “open-source spirit”
As Brave??? https://thelibre.news/no-really-dont-use-brave/ haha
Just use Firefox with the right addons, if you still insist on chromium then take a look to https://github.com/Eloston/ungoogled-chromium
firefox is unuseable for me, it uses way too much ram compared to chromium browsers which have much better resource managmeent
As far as I know, Chrome uses much more RAM than Firefox. Look for benchmark, Firefox keep using less RAM and being fast as Chrome, some builds even faster on the brenchmarks I read.
