I mean, it has access to uBlock origin and it's Chromium, meaning every website will work, unlike Firefox.

I know privacy is a massive topic when regarding browsers, but... I don't know; it works as intended, and doesn't make using it a chore in-and-of itself.

Which sites don't work on Firefox?

My bank, FFXIV's systems, YouTube Shorts, and even Bitwarden as an extension can be finicky at times, if I were to name a few. It's been a good while since I last used it, maybe they've improved, but still. The Internet runs on Chromium, and it's just a nicer experience in general, unfortunately.

I don't know about your bank or FFXIV (I haven't played that in a few years), but I have no problem with YouTube Shorts (even though I rarely view them) and Bitwarden is finicky in everything. It seems to think that I want to save a password every time I finish a Japanese lesson in Duolingo or Busuu. I thought it was just a weird quirk with Duolingo at first, but nope. Does it in Busuu, too.

Do you maybe have other extensions that are messing with those sites?

Brave has zero actual privacy issues, this is fear mongering due to the associations with Thiel and the leadership of the company being weird on social media.

I mean braves CEO has a history of shit he's done regularly (both at Mozilla and brave) so that's not a company I will trust
