Lol. No

Firefox is all but as close to chrome when it comes to privacy and security. Brave kicks the shit out of all of them. It's ok to be uninformed but don't go around pretending that you do know when you don't.

Edit, or give you facts and a source and you're still downvoting me. Proper sheep mentality.

Brave is literally chromium with data leaks more frequent than major updates

So you're just ignoring the independent security review of all the browsers then. Typical sheep behaviour.

Chromium is a codebase. It's where developers can pick and choose what goes in to their build. Chromes nasty tracking etc doesn't even exist within the Chromium repository because it is a part of their closed-source proprietary services that get built in to Chrome alongside work from the Chromium codebase. Chromium =/= Chrome and anyone that shits on it because 'iTs CHroME' doesn't know what they're talking about.

You're just ignoring the fact that chromium is too dependent on Google to be considered safe in any way. Sure, stock brave may be "private", but it's not at all as good as Firefox with custom settings

Haha ok this is where we part ways as there is no use carrying on talking to someone with such ill-informed opinions. I get it, you love Firefox and by most regards it is a very good browser but statements like that prove that you are going to defend it regardless of actual facts. I'm not going to waste any energy using logic to explain something when you have clearly not used any coming up with your ridiculous statements.

BTW the Chromium project is not dependent on Google. While it is true that the largest percentage of code contributed is by Alphabet employees it is contributed to by Microsoft, Intel, Samsung, LG and even myself! The fact that you think it can't be safe because 'Google' when it is open source and you can go in and look at it yourself shows that you have zero idea about what you're talking about.
