    Brendan Eich could be a huge proponent of butthole sunning and crystal healing. As long as I can turn off the butthole sunning button in his browser, I’m fine with it. And I can.

    Never touched the crypto stuff, the AI search thing, whatever. Just turn them off. When I can’t do that, I’ll just use something else.

        I use vanadium (and graphine) on my phone but I use Brave on my desktop.

        Until last year I had been using Firefox since around 2007, but I started having awful performance issues.

        I ran a ton of tests on a large variety of browsers (including some niche early development browsers) and Brave (with every BS feature disabled) outperformed all of the others by a wide margin.

        If there was a foss browser with functioning adblock, no BS features or political ideologies, and reasonable performance, I would switch right away… But all 3 is a tall order.

        Also, I wanna note, before I switched I tried every Firefox config and all of the performance focused forks. I tried messing with memory usage and hardware acceleration, and even running it in sandboxes/flatpak… Either way it would consume tons of resources at idle, and would sometimes crash my machine when I kept it running while starting up my hypervisor or blender or my IDE or a resource hungry game.

        Brave just works, and has functional adblock.
