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 @joshbdoc Chrome is Chromium except it has large amounts of proprietary Google code in it. Chromium is open source, though it still has some Google code in it. Ungoogled Chromium is Chromium except 100% open source and no Google code.

@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 :)
