Brave uses Chromium, and its security benefits over Gecko give it greater resilience to threats, allowing it to enforce privacy better than Firefox.
I understand the ideological reason that using Firefox stands up against the Chromium monopoly. However, I don’t really care for Mozilla being the one to compete against Google, especially in light of their recent decisions. I would want to root for something like Servo or Ladybird, and PG can simply encourage others to do so.
I’m not asking Firefox to be removed, the browsers page can say something like
We recommend Brave for general browsing, and Firefox if you want to stand against Google’s monopoly in the browser engine industry.
Instead, Privacy Guides takes the approach of tailoring them to specific usage case. The introduction states:
These are our currently recommended desktop web browsers and configurations for standard/non-anonymous browsing. We recommend Mullvad Browser if you are focused on strong privacy protections and anti-fingerprinting out of the box, Firefox for casual internet browsers looking for a good alternative to Google Chrome, and Brave if you need Chromium browser compatibility.
We can make this blurb more specific if that is what you are proposing?
Yeah I would like Brave’s use case to be for those casual internet browsers, and Firefox’s usecase to be for if you really don’t want to support Chromium.
What exactly makes Firefox less recommended on desktop? I was under the impression that it’s just an issue with the Android version that doesn’t have site isolation.
