With Mozilla continuing their 'dark pattern' behavior lately, it may be time to give this privacy-centric fork a try:
LibreWolf Browser

I haven't used the fork I linked, but from what I can tell, it's considerably more hardened than Brave.
I used Brave for a while but dumped them when the affiliate link redirect scandal broke. I had already disliked the "rewards" sponsored advertising policy.
@JGNWYRK
Ok, I've been using LibreWolf for the past few hours. It's solid. I love that it has the "correct" settings for privacy enabled (or disabled) by default.
The Developer Tools (wrench icon) are very handy
The Windows version does not auto-update which is a drag, but I can live with it. No FF account either, so no sync. But that's kind of the point, right?
This might become my daily driver.
@voltronic thanks, options sadly needed given the Firefox roadmap. Hate to see 'em go down that road.

I like Brave just fine. Vivaldi is interesting.
@b4cks4w
Yes, I just posted an article about that same thing which led me to start looking for good forks.
@voltronic workin' through scrollback, bear with me
@voltronic
And unfortunately I still need all browsers for work. IE is depreciated, Chrome and Edge are a pain for internal portals that don't get real certificates, as in they refuse to let you get to your admin portal. Firefox will let you continue to that portal, for now...
@voltronic how does it compare to brave?
