  • Faster, better UI, not managed by Mozilla (which I have come to dislike a lot), with a decent mobile client (unlike FF) and so son… By the way, I don’t have to explain why I prefer a browser which is not FF (anymore… I’ve been on FF for about 20 years before leaving it around 2021, fed up with Mozilla and their nonsense development model). Mozillians should realize that people have different preference and make different choices. Tell Mozilla to improve their browser, instead of crying “chromium domination!” all the time. Exclusively Mozilla is to blame for each and every lost FF user.

    Brave is managed by Brendan Eich who had to leave Mozilla because he is a homophobe.

    Eich was a cofounder of Mozilla. Wasn’t him an homophobe back then? Did someone stopped using FF because Mozilla’s cofounder was an homophobe?

    And, frankly speaking, I couldn’t care less about him or his believing. I need a good browser. Brave is a good browser (better than Firefox, for me). The day I find something better, I’ll migrate. Full stop.

    That and they have been doing some selfserving things with BAT to the point where I wouldn’t trust them even if BAT became something worthwhile or maybe even especially then.

    Again, the whole BAT thing is opt-in and it’s not the point here.

    No, I don’t agree. The loss was net, I mean 50M users migrated, the same users that before installed FF over the default browser. Something happened there.

    Can we blame Mozilla for losing some users? Yeah, maybe a few. But that’s not really the whole picture.

    50M (and counting) was 20% of their user base, not “some users”. There’s nothing wrong in admitting that Mozilla erratic development model has alienated at least some of “us” (by the way, I’ve been a FF user for almost 20 years before leaving). And, personally, I’ll make whatever I can to make more users leave FF. Fuck Mozilla, really. They’re just a cash-grab machine right now.
