I've been seeing a lot of people hate and uninstall Brave. Why? It's not like they're tracking us or doing anything else shady. If so, what's the privacy alternative?

I am a very, very long time Firefox user. Brave probably has a case for getting Chrome users to consider switching, but I've never encountered any compelling reason to consider switching from Firefox to Brave.

I've had a ton of websites break when using Firefox with uBlock Origin, I've never had a broken website with Brave.

If a site breaks because you're using ff, the web developer behind it is clearly a fucking idiot. If it works in chrome it's going to work in FF, unless you've done something extraordinarily stupid.

Agreed, but that doesnt fix the issue. Had some issues with ff on a govt site, sent a complaint and got basically "use chrome lol" as a response.
