they let a digital certificate expire. thing is, that cert is required for all add ons and shit. they basically just broke everyone's addons. literally EVERYONE.

You''ll forget about it!!!

Within weeks maybe days...

You'll be using Mozilla again.

And who knows...

Maybe you won't even really stop at all!!!

idk man, this is pretty fuckin huge. i've already been lookin at other options, i'm not sure about that brave browser. i've tried some chrome variants but haven't been convinced.

i'm not one of them, but a lot of people just got fucked at work over this. they won't forget easily.

Brave. You can import your history and everything from Firefox and pick up right where you left off. And you won't be switching back to Firefox.

i'm going to check brave out, but i have my concerns about it. they've been manually advertising on several youtube channels i watch... which i have mixed feelings about. could be a fancy honeypot. seems brave is all about serving you ads, but in a different manner from usual. we'll see.

should probably just use debian or linux for browsing and shit, and only have windows for games.

I've been using Brave for a few weeks since Mozilla and Google both banned Dissenter from their add-on stores. (I don't use Dissenter, but I hate fascist corporate censorship.)


I haven't seen a single ad since I've been using it. As with all browsers, I installed uBlock Origin and Privacy Badger immediately after installing Brave.


The only major drawback I've seen is that Brave tenaciously caches CSS and JavaScript files, which is a pain in the ass when you're developing and need to constantly refresh the page. I keep the settings tab open and automatically clear cached files before reloading now. I wish I could find this famous "developer mode" I keep hearing about. I think I saw a button for it once by chance, but I don't have a clue where it's hidden.

Mozilla suddenly goes to shit, commits a major fuckup, and now this??

My guess is they were attacked/strongarmed, and this was the outcome.
