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.

This is the shit that fascist collaborators also tell themselves.
why not just use something else from the Jump?
There’s Cromite for desktop and mobile, a very popular option
Trivalent for linux desktops
Ungoogled Chromiun for all desktops if you just want chromium without google and no hardening
and theres Vanadium if you feel like switching to GrapheneOS.

Brave just works, and has functional adblock.
