    Firefox is safer and tbh, has probably the best UX and aesthetics out of anyone. Brave is garbage.

          It has included some privacy measures to resist fingerprinting like letterboxing and has more privacy focused search engines as default like searx. Also it takes out some firefox utilities like pocket which I don’t really use

          As for Mullwav browser I’m not really sure, it seems to be another reinforced firefox like librewolf

        Brave is just a shill for Google mothership. Firefox is leading privacy and security through browsers.

          Firefox has a weaker sandbox than chromium and less mature site isolation and therefore has lower security. privacy is a different story, but remember you’re only as private as you are secure so Firefox is inherently not that private assuming a malicious site escapes the sandbox.

          I’m fully against chrome’s growing monopoly as well as Google surveillance capitalism but let’s not be so dramatic with the “google mother ship” nonsense.

          using chromium as a base does not equal data being sent back to Google, just like using Android as a base doesn’t inherently send data back to Google.

      As a Firefox user, the only thing Brave does that I wish Firefox would copy is their fingerprinting resistance. I know Firefox does have fingerprinting resistance but it’s nowhere near the same level as Brave.
