Oh right - that's why I keep not installing Brave. I knew it was something and then I forget.

My laziness is never getting around to trying out Brave is vindicated!
Is there a good mobile browser that...
- Supports adblock?
- Doesn't have as many rendering issues as Firefox on mobile sites?
I know the latter isn't Firefox's fault, but it still impacts the end user.

The fact that he invented Javascript alone makes him a villain. Everything he did after that is just complementary.
Finally somebody other than me says it!

I've been trying to move away from Google Chrome for awhile now. Brave was the easiest move for me - it's super slick and almost exactly like Google Chorme. But they just cannot help themselves from pushing Cryto BS on the startup page like every day - it's weird. I get they offset advertisements with Crypto, and maybe before The President ran a Crypto rugpull I'd be onboard, but now that the Rich Elites have publicly shown their hand in how they want to use Crypto I just can't support Brave.
Anyway, I've moved to Opera for the time being. If anyone else has suggestions I'm open to hear em, but like, I'm too used to webkit devtools.
After Firefox changed its TOS a lot of people (including me) have jumped to LibreWolf. It takes FF, removes any parts that phone home, and turns on many privacy options.
It takes a little tweaking to make all websites work correctly. I have it running almost perfectly on windoze. I tried installing on Ubuntu last night but my Linux newbie status held me back.
Turn it all off and it's no more in your face. The browser itself functions great when configured according to your needs.
Fuck their CEO though. Focus on the product. It works and consistently ranks as one of the highest orivacy based browser according to the EFF and multiple non profit sources.

"Glowy" sounds like a perjorative for the sparkly vampires from Twilight.
I was thinking that a glowie was a handie performed outdoors on a full moon.
