The funny part is that this is the bio in Mozilla’s twitter: “We work to ensure the internet remains a public resource that is open and accessible to all.” I guess by “all” they mean only people with political opinions they support.

In case you're unfamiliar: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance Unfortunately part of making things "open and accessible to all" means revoking access to people who would weaponize the internet to contradict those goals. A tolerant society means no tolerance for terrorists.

>A tolerant society means no tolerance for terrorists.

Ex CEO of Mozilla and current CEO of Brave has been removed from Mozilla for donating his private money to some conservative same-sex marriage organisation.

Awesome. Is this a one man show or many people together?

Just a person - not a big deal. Although the site is different in many ways based on the protocol.

Does Brave have an implementation of Multi-Account Containers? This is the ONE killer feature in Firefox that makes it impossible for me to leave for Brave completely: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/multi-account...

For me, somewhat embarrassingly, the one killer feature is the "Send to Device" feature from firefox on iOS. Being able to send links to browser for later reviewing is super useful. Not sure why Edge or other browsers don't implement

this is in chrome?

It really is great to see challenger browsers pushing the web forward like this. Along with IPFS it's nice to see Tor integration, low-level content blocking, a privacy-respecting Zoom alternative ( https://together.brave.com/ ) and integrated MetaMask for Web3. Brave still has a small userbase (~24 million), but hopefully it creates the space / incentives for Firefox and others to play catch-up so we see a lot of th…

Also, they integrate my WebTorrent project ( https://webtorrent.io ) so that .torrent files and magnet: links just work out-of-the-box. https://support.brave.com/hc/en-us/articles/360035025231-Wha...

Opera used to support torrents out of the box back in 2006. Good old days.

Mozilla promised us Tor integration, IPFS integration and more private browsing by default. Brave delivered it all.

http://zoobab.wikidot.com/elinks-with-bittorrent-support Boycott Firefox, Switch to Brave, my browser had Bittorrent support 16 years ago In 2005, Elinks browser had built-in Torrent support. In 2021, Firefox still does not have built-in Torrent support. In 2021, Brave has built-in Torrent support. Why Firefox has not focussed on decentralisation and uncensorability for the last 16 years? Maybe because they work for…

As much as I feel that Firefox isn't delivering, Brave just extends a browser engine monopoly which is dangerous for the web. Google can decide to change a fundamental part and suddenly 90% of all users will have it because they use the same browser engine.

I would've embraced brave had it written its own browser engine or simply picked something non-google.

This is a killer feature for me too. Works great between all my devices across Linux, Android, and iOS. If I see an interesting article I just ship it off to my desktop to read later instead of keeping the tab open for days on my phone.

I've unfortunately had the opposite experience with FF send, I still use it all the time (or try to) when I find links on mobile that I want to read on a big screen, or when I have an image url on my laptop that I want to send from my phone via SMS, snapshat, etc. But the delay is just unbearably long and inconsistent. Sometimes (most often when sending desktop to phone) the delay is 15 minutes or more. I've found it…

I use the "send tab to another device" feature a lot, and it's true that sometimes it isn't fast enough to be considered real-time. Sometimes tabs appear instantly, sometimes they don't appear for minutes, and sometimes restarting the browser triggers tab reception. In any case, it's already an awesome feature.

Mozilla seems to be moving in the other direction now. "We need more than deplatforming" https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2021/01/08/we-need-more-than-d...

Taken out of context that quote would imply "we need even more serious censorship", but admits that deplatforming a certain world leader is a not a real solution and that these actions that should be taken: > Reveal who is paying for advertisements, how much they are paying and who is being targeted. > Commit to meaningful transparency of platform algorithms so we know how and what content is being amplified, to whom…

There is nothing "alright" about the third. It's basically an attempt to discredit non-mainstream journalists.

I have been a diehard user of the Vivaldi browser for a while now. I just posted the referenced article to their forum stating that Vivaldi should follow suit. Without such support I'll likely change to Brave specifically due to IPFS support. The internet is in desperate need of decentralization.

We would love for you to download Brave and give the emerging IPFS support a spin. Any feedback you have about expectations and experience would be greatly appreciated.

How about becoming the first major browser to support Gemini? Not the cryptocurrency that is.
