Between Brave and Firefox, what browser would you choose to balance privacy with performance? And what's your reason?
@redcoqui Where's that neither box lol. Brave is better, but both are totally fucked in their own ways. FireFox is insecure, slow, and surprisingly unstable ( used Firefox for over 5 years ). Brave is fast, built on Chromium so secure, and privacy is pretty much anyone's guess.
Ungoogled Chromium all the way.
@joshbdoc @ThreeBadgersInATrenchcoat Is ungoogled Chromium different than Chrome and Chromium? Or is Chromium and ungoogled Chromium synonymous?
@redcoqui @ThreeBadgersInATrenchcoat Chrome & Chromium are their own, but ungoogled Chromium is a different Chromium without the junk from g00gle in there.
@ThreeBadgersInATrenchcoat @joshbdoc Holy crap. I never knew this. Thanks for detailing that! I'm gonna play with it a bit now. 🙃
@redcoqui @ThreeBadgersInATrenchcoat I didn't either but had a good friend recommend it, so that's what I've been using :)
@ThreeBadgersInATrenchcoat Interesting, so Chromium with a crap load of extensions? 😆 On top of what Privacy Tools recommends at that? What are your favorite add-ons that aren't mentioned on the Privacy Tools website?
@redcoqui Adding too many extensions destroys your privacy due to giving yourself a unique fingerprint. For my recommendations of tweaking/addons I'd recommend you check out my blog post here:

@ThreeBadgersInATrenchcoat @redcoqui I second ungoogled chromium for computer and Bromite on Android.
