Zen is just preselected no telemetry Firefox, also bleeding edge with Firefox updates

Brave is fine ish but they have issues, and a lot of them, which they usually fix within 24 hours but they've had a track record of like 8-10 issues per year, so just under once a month.

Don't downvote me to hell cause it's a reddit link, sorry, this is the most concise list I know of: https://www.reddit.com/r/browsers/s/AErPH6iMl0

    Brave is the only browser I'm aware of whose "issues" rise to the level of "we're going to hijack your URL bar and insert our own affiliate links"

    Apparently it was an auto complete issue that was fixed within 48 hours, but even still, there's always something wrong with Brave multiple times a year

    I haven't heard of Zen and just checked out the wiki on it.

    There are so many browsers! It's hard to decide. I've tried quite a few over the years. Been running Brave as primary for 3-4 years.

    I appreciate the Reddit link. Yikes. I've noticed the enshittification of Brave but didn't know all the bad stuff they've done.

    I do like that Brave works well on all my devices and sync is reliable. I don't like running different browsers on diff platforms.

    Time to do some testing and research...
