Time to throw away the old Firefox.

So I'm looking at either Brave or Vivaldi

Which one to pick? Are both open source?

I don't need fancy extensions, just a good ad blocker

Thanks

I just used my search engine and found answers to couple of your questions and they are pretty interesting.

vivaldi isnt opensource
brave is barely chromium with ublock

It's proprietary freeware. Just because they give out the source for free doesn't mean they give permission to modify it. It also doesn't mean they will accept whatever patches you make, either.
>>
>>61476464
Ads are blocked by default. You have to manually go into the settings and turn this on
>>
>>61473774
If youre gonna use botnet, why not just use chrome? It performs better and does more anyway. If you use brave, you're literally just trying to be unique

I felt that stupid feminist donation thing was the last straw. I knew it has been SJW Fox for a long time but I just ignored it.

I decided to go with Pale Meme. I didn't rice my firefox at all, and PM is basically Firefox without Firefox. Comfy community, kind of feels like Firefox from a few years ago.

But no one really minds ads as a concept, they hate intrusive ads like autoplay videos, popups and those annoying ransomware pages that are difficult to click out of like the fake blue screens. I bet most people installed Adblock for the first time solely because of Youtube.

Brave is nice but unfortunately, if you look at the developer's list, you'll see it has been infiltrated by CCP agents.
I'd use Iridium.

Brenden thinks he is going to become a instant Trillionaire (yes, with a T, Google makes $100B a year from advertising) by channeling all ads though his browser.

Brenden is half jewish, isnt he?

Maybe you could enlighten me, Wikipedia doesn't mention anything.

Can you get 4chan X on Brave? That's really the only extension I use on Chrome currently besides Epmty New Tab and Ublock. (Thank you Brave for adding the blank tab page back, I couldn't believe it when Google took that option away.

Brave is an Electron project iirc.

You're basically running a local website document rendering other websites within it, experiencing inferior performance compared to just running native a Chromium browser and getting no benefits outside of the illusion you're using a different browser.

What available browser uses the least resources?
Firefox and Chrome take up a fuckton of memory and processing power. Vivaldi is clunky shit on top of chrome's problems. I shouldn't need more than 16gb of ram to use the fucking internet.

Isn't it just fucking Jews putting in their own ads and replacing the "bad ads"

Go for Brave. They're about to release a huge update.

So does Brave have any sponsored ads yet? been browsing with "Brave ads only" on but haven't seen anything other than the typical pornsite ads that fly under the radar.

>>61473774
Someone explain this to me, you can pay money to keep the websites you like up instead of seeing ads? I think I'd prefer the ads. I don't mind a few ads in exchange for using a website for free. I don't really see what the big deal is. I might give this browser a shot with the ad block turned off just because I hate Google and I feel like a sap using their browser.

>>61485432
It's still a worse deal for publishers, isn't it?
>>
>>61485432
if your product/service was actually good, you could put up a paywall and people would still pay for it.

advertising is just life support for bad content that can't survive on it's own
>>
>>61476654
So? Source availability alleviates security concerns.
>>
>>61485700
That's the thing. There's a lot of stuff I don't like enough to pay for, but I enjoy enough to access with ads. I couldn't afford to pay for everything I like if it were behind a paywall. And what about the people who make a living off YouTube ad money? Will they actually get anything from this?
>>
>>61485615
My guess would be that people who publish garbage (click-bait sites all that stuff) will be the ones who get a worse deal compared to what they have now. But other sites that publish quality stuff would get more support.
>>
>>61485764
>stuff I don't like enough to pay for
then find something better & evolve, instead of settling with cheap, poorly produced crap.

>people who make a living off YouTube ad money?
get a real job or a better solution. yt is a video hosting site and not obliged to give you money for making top-10-sexy-unboxing-prank videos

Just use waterfox, which is just firefox without the botnet and with add on support
>>
>>61485878
>yt is a video hosting site and not obliged to give you money for making top-10-sexy-unboxing-prank videos
I know. And I know most of it is garbage, but there's stuff I like, and I want those guys to be able to make a living doing their thing.

Vivaldi and Opera has been the only good combo for a while now.

Brave is ONLY relevant on Android.

>>
>>61485914
I was fine with Waterfox, especially with all the Firefox bugs likely related to High Sierra beta, until I couldn't take the glitch where when i get out of fullscreen for like a YT video, the tab/video title remains floating on top of the other tabs and looks like shit. It keeps happening and i couldn't handle it so i'm trying Pale meme and it surprisingly is very decent.
>>
>>61485914
Waterfox was rendered pointless the moment mozilla started to release their own, official 64bit builds.

plus the fact that waterfox's so called "modifications" are actually just common tweaks to can do yourself on firefox.

waterfox was a good niche browser, but has been long surpassed and offers no genuine advantage or feature that firefox doesn't have. unless you count placebo as a feature.

Not quite.

ABPrime ISN'T bootstrapped, that's literally the point of it. The author threw a shitfit when people preferred ABL because it's bootstrapped.

And yes, uBlock is bootstrapped.

Why not Iridium? It's open source.

Don't think Brave has support for extensions besides it's pre-installed ones.
