Convince me to use Firefox over Brave (lemmy.fmhy.ml)

I've liked Firefox in the past on school computers, but lately I've been using brave on all my devices.

I love Brave, with its built in adblockers PLUS the ability to install more on top of it, so you can turn one off and still have protection. It feels pretty streamlined.

As someone who pirates stuff pretty frequently too, all of its pop up blockers make me feel more safe.

Should I make a switch to Firefox, and if so, why?

Why do we need to convince you? Chrome is bad for privacy and Brave is lipstick on a pig. And lipstick that loves BAT and token crap. You can easily install an adblocker plus more on top of Firefox, so that isn’t really a big item for Brave.

But just do what you want.

I think I will change to Firefox on my new phone (going android instead of Iphone for this one) and I will make the switch over on my desktop and laptops as well

You can install uBlock Origin on Firefox Android so you'll get adblocking on mobile, just like Brave!
