With the number of people concerned about privacy, it is a wonder why chrome is even popular.

      They use telemetry, trying to push Brave Rewards, Brave Wallet crypto stuff, Brave News. I find that a bit sneaky of a privacy focused browser.

        Thanks for getting back to me. The rewards was why I signed up. Welp.

        Hadn’t used Firefox in ages. Stuck it back on asking with uBlock. Quite liking how it blocks pages from jumping to an app.

        I just need to work out how override it when I actually do occasionally want to follow a link to the playstore!

        Firefox does exactly the same: they have a lot of telemetry, they push their own services (pocket/vpn), they are in bed with Google and evil companies such as Amazon… What’s the difference?

          I did not say there was a difference, I don’t use Firefox because of the bad phone performance.
