  Yes, it’s just Chrome but better - it also funds bigots!

  Plonk.

    It’s just Chrome if Chrome wasn’t made ass backwards basically.

  Yeah exactly, Brave is for people who are scared of installing extensions but clicking a big install button on a site that runs an executable is perfectly fine

    This makes me think that the people who install brave, are the people who, 15-20 years ago, would have a IE install that was half toolbars.

    God…remember all the scammy toolbars for IE? and how they could take up half the damn screen on some peoples machines?

    Well I’d argue that with the changes to Manifest, Brave is actually one of your stronger options if chrome is a must have.

    If you don’t need chrome, Firefox (or a fork) with ublock is enough for most.

  What extensions would you recommend for Firefox?

  source

  • imjustmsk@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Just Ublock origin is more than enough, it’s pretty customisable too, Brave is for people who just wanna install and do nothing

    Except when I install Brave I have to debloat it, holy bloat so is Firefox bloated - I usually get forks (Librewolf, Zen etc)

      I just wish librewolf would release a mobile version 🤞🤞

        I doubt they’ll ever release a mobile version, they’ll just recommend IronFox

    Ublock Origin is the only mandatory extension i can think of.

    Some other extensions I personally use are:

    Gesturefy is useful if you want to control things with mouse gestures (holding right-click and then drawing a shape to activate commands)

    NoScript for a little added security, with the cost of having to manually enable javascript on websites that literally can’t function without it.

    Any extension that runs userscripts.

    Dark Reader for websites that don’t offer a dark mode.

      you can configure muBlock to do everything NoScript does at a lower computational cost on your local machine
