    What does that have to do with the browser? Last I checked, browsers aren’t transphobic.

    You do you, but I personally refuse to make product choices based on the person who makes it. Brave is the least bad chromium browser, so I use it as a backup to my main Gecko-based browser. I’m not a fan of Mozilla either, but that’s irrelevant since I pick my software based on what it does, not based on the management of the company that builds it.

      Actually, I consider Brave the best (or the least bed…) browser on the market. Period. The fact that it isn’t made by Mozilla is a plus for me.

        I don’t like Mozilla either, but here are my priorities in a web browser:

        1. FOSS
        2. Privacy tools - includes ad blocking; I’d actually be okay with ads if they didn’t track me
        3. Promotes open web standards - rendering engine diversity is critical here, I don’t want a repeat of the IE era
        4. Security
        5. Performance

        Firefox ticks all of them, and my issues with Mozilla as an org don’t really come into play. I use a fork on my phone, but I use Firefox on my laptop and desktop because I trust the binaries coming from my Linux distribution maintainers (part of 4).

          Good for you. I actively refuse to use it or any of its derivatives to avoid endorsing Mozilla by giving them market share. Additionally, I find that Brave just performs better (and needs one extension less to be functional).

            I care a lot about rendering engine diversity, and Firefox is the largest non-chromium browser, so I use it. It’s fast enough for me, and my handful of extensions gives me what I need.
