Actually, I consider Brave the best (or the least bed...) browser on the market. Period. The fact that it isn't made by Mozilla is a plus for me.

    I don't like Mozilla either, but here are my priorities in a web browser:

    1. FOSS
    2. Privacy tools - includes ad blocking; I'd actually be okay with ads if they didn't track me
    3. Promotes open web standards - rendering engine diversity is critical here, I don't want a repeat of the IE era
    4. Security
    5. Performance

    Firefox ticks all of them, and my issues with Mozilla as an org don't really come into play. I use a fork on my phone, but I use Firefox on my laptop and desktop because I trust the binaries coming from my Linux distribution maintainers (part of 4).

    Good for you. I actively refuse to use it or any of its derivatives to avoid endorsing Mozilla by giving them market share. Additionally, I find that Brave just performs better (and needs one extension less to be functional).

    Brave also ticks all of them?

    at this point, Firefox's development is not very much more open than Chromium's

    It doesn't tick #3, hence why I use a Firefox browser as my main. If they had their own rendering engine, I would consider it as my main. But for now, it's my backup in case I need a website that doesn't work on Firefox (i.e. they use something Chrome-specific).
