Firefox updated today and I'm wondering why they don't put Brave in this table, what's your opinion on this? 🤔

No Internet Explorer either, and it has a bigger market share than Brave... Not everything Mozilla does is some evil conspiracy, they just put their browser on a table comparing it to its biggest competitors. Please go outside.

Not enough market share. Keep it simple. The one who use brave know about firefox. Grab the low hanging fruit

Grab the low hanging fruit

Sounds like locker room banter to me

This just in: not everything is a conspiracy against your favorite browser with a sliver of marketshare.

This applies to Brave and Firefox users.

It's a comparison of mainline browsers - they haven't included any forks in it.

Unfortunately true

But they didn’t start that way

No Vivaldi either.

Fingerprint resistance of firefox? Is more like somewhat...

You have to change a few things in about:config, disable webRTC and spoof:

  • user-agent
  • font fingerprint
  • audio context ...

But it's the "best" OOTB alternative we can have rn.

You wouldn’t happen to have all those needed settings changes in a conveniently shareable list, would you?

I'm not able to copy/past my changes from my phone's about:config but here is a great tutorial and most of the parameters I changed:

Keep in mind that to use about:config on mobile phone you have to use the beta, dev or nightly version of firefox.

Also this could and will break some sites, I don't know how much you want to harden your firefox but here are the addons I use with Firefox:

+AdGuard home at the DNS level.

No mosaic or lynx either

Same for librewolf and mullvad browser, not so many people use it.

[-] dukethorion@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

At least the Brave guy's site included many popular browsers and not just the big 5.
