Brave is adware, in what way is it the spiritual successor to Firefox?

An ad-ware reskin of chromium is the successor of Firefox?

Sorry, but I'm not going to trust any browser based on Chrome. Even Brave.

It's not long until Brave won't be able to support Manifest V2 as Google has every interest to kill it completely.

That's true but not that big of a deal in their case. The built-in ad blocker works quite well and removes the need to run uBlock Origin.

Brave's adblocker won't do anything against Google's trackers if Google builds it in to the engine.

Again, I advise against trusting anything Chromium-based.

Also, you apparently haven't heard of uBlock Origin's Medium Mode. Brave can't even touch that. There's more than just advertising to worry about on the web.

From what I understand, Brave is a shit-show in its' own right.

I use too, but is not without its problem. It does implement a lot of adds in things like the new tab page, and it did some controversial stuff (they use to replace page ads with their own, essencially stealing the page monetization, dont know if they still do).

For a while Brave is going to be my stop gap browser. Hopping that Ladybird can soon replace it.

For all its flaws, Brave still annoys me less than Mozilla assh*les.

I also tried Zen Browser... lovely, but is pretty much Mozilla with a bunch of addons. The problem is, is not clear how much of the invasive Mozilla telemetry they left on their code base. Unfourtunally, any browser that orginates from mozilla bullshit, for now, I kind consider fruit of a posionous tree.

the one with the cryptocurrency bullshit?
