The search engine was developed by Cliqz, the one data gathering company with a sketchy history back when it was working with Firefox…

It’s kind of impressive how sketchy every part of Brave Corp is, really

By “giving up on fighting the Chromium Monopoly”, I think they are hinting at moving away from a non-Chromium browser to Brave.
Which they are now not doing, because of this sign from above.
FireFox is the better recommendation. Its shit, but its the best entry to non-Chromium
?
Chromium has an ecosystem that Firefox doesn’t? Like what? Even assuming you’re talking about Chrome and not Chromium, I just don’t see it.
if you are in this subreddit you are probably tech savvy enough to decompile the extension .crx with a online viewer and convert it to a userscript that any browser can use.
What the actual fuck.
But, why? Is it intended to like protect the user from PDF vulnerabilities? This is very strange and I can’t think of a good reason why they would do that.
That comparison omits the fact that Firefox for Android doesn’t have site isolation or isolatedProcess enabled, as pointed out on privacyguides.com. For this reason, Chromium-based alternatives are likely more secure.
I still use Firefox for Android, but thought this should be added.
it’s harvesting your data and selling it for profit
It’s selling data? Source?

PrivacyGuides is starting to sour on it. There are only so many times the bad decisions in an app can be excused.
I’ve heard many Brave fans say “well you can disable this”, “well you can go through the settings” etc in the past for various questionable choices, like showing sponsored background images by default. But with this recent thing, “Just open the system service manager as an administrator and disable 5/6 of these services” is a much tougher sell.

Hello /u/ComfortableClean1915,
Riseup is a non-profit that provides free services to help activists and journalists stay private and safe. Invites are a way for people already involved in activism to invite others they believe could benefit greatly from the service and as a free service, resources are limited to those who actually need it. For this reason (and to combat spam), the only way to get an invite is to know someone who already has a Riseup account.

Isn’t this for the browser?

Even firefox has some stuff enabled by default but you can just disable it to harden it even more, what’s wrong in it?
Brave installing a service on your computer and Brave selling your data for profit are two very different things.
Here’s a subreddit that might better suit you if you think they are the same: /r/conspiracy
Yes, the browser now injects six separate system services into Windows. We aren’t talking files, we’re talking things that just boot with your computer.
Re: the rest, yes, I acknowledged you can go through the hassle of hiding half a dozen smaller pieces of bloat in some parts of the browser, but in other parts of it they’ll always linger.
