They are not mentioning the most important reason for me. I think Firefox is better by default simply because I don't want to help contribute to Google's chromium/blink hegemony over the web.
Firefox vs. Brave: Which is the better browser for you? – Mozilla

#12I can’t believe that neither can do decent bookmarks.
Any suggestions/extension for better bookmarks management?
I've given up on the built-in bookmarks in all browsers and even the New Tab page. I wrote up a single file HTML page and checked it into my dotfiles repos. Icons are short data urls of SVG with a hover drop down (like Reddit and various subreddits). I like that it's "self hosted" and not some 3rd party site.
I have hundreds of bookmarks, all neatly categorized, compared to the New Tab page's paltry 16 or whatever. I also get the exact same page in Firefox (personal), Chrome (work), or Firefox/Android.
It sounded silly at first but now I can't live without it.

#13interesting they're linking adblock plus rather than ublock origin
Yeah. So irritating. Adblock Plus is owned by Eyeo GmbH which supposedly earns millions through it's 'acceptable ads' program. [1] https://nitter.mailstation.de/gorhill/search?f=tweets&q=%22e...

That is not wild speculation but rather the official narrative from Adblock Plus. Their main revenue stream is the acceptable ads program [1]. In order to see if they make "millions", I am also linking their financial statements from the Company Register in Germany [2]. Please note that this document is in German and I read it using machine translation software.

Not disagreeing, but the question is better for ‘you’, not better for society or the internet. Lotta people (sadly) don’t know or care about rendering and JavaScript engines.
That said, the weirdest thing about Brave is that the BAT stuff could likely have been implemented as a browser extension. The changes to Chromium the Brave team must now maintain choosing to fork a browser are because Google makes changes in the code base for the good of their business, not consumers.

#16"Turns out, Mozilla Firefox is better" -- Mozilla
Still, big products rarely want to mention their smaller competitors, to not draw attention to them. That Mozilla post is a very good favor for Brave. Kudos to Mozilla!
Brave isn't a competitor with Firefox. Firefox is a browser, Brave is a crypto wallet/ethical ad aggregator/adblock/DNS/video-calling system/compensation network/social/IPFS viewer. You're welcome to choose for yourself, but I typically grab Firefox when I just want to browse the web.

#17Mozilla offers an unbiased comparison ? I call BS.
. . ."Overall, Brave is a fast and secure browser that will have particular appeal to cryptocurrency users. But for the vast majority of internet citizens, Firefox remains a better and simpler solution."

#18> There are a few security features in Brave worth highlighting, such as its automatic HTTPS connection upgrades (which Firefox also offers by extension)
This information is a bit outdated, Firefox has offered HTTPS mode built-in for a few versions now.

#19Quoting from the page: "The comparisons made here were done so with default settings and across browser release versions as follows:
Firefox (81) | Brave (1.14.81)
This page is updated semi-quarterly to reflect latest versioning and may not always reflect latest updates."
This is for sure not true, Firefox 81 was released more than a year ago

#20Brave do less home call. And by home call for Firefox, I don't even mean Mozilla, but Google.
And giving they don't care about they use opiniouns they should just shutdown the telemetry.
(It's funny to see a download link for Firefox at the end of this article, look like they are desperate.)
