> 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such as its automatic HTTPS connection upgrades (which Firefox also offers by extension) This information is a bit outdated, Firefox has offered HTTPS mode built-in for a few versions now.

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.
Yes. But to most people, they're both browsers. So it really doesn't matter.
FF is still the least bad.

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...

> Adblock Plus is owned by Eyeo GmbH which supposedly earns millions through it's 'acceptable ads' program. 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 Germ…
Brave 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.)
They should be. I'd be happy to see more desperation from them if it means more users, more investment (not from Google), and more chances at staying afloat.

You are a part of society. If something is bad for society, it will, in the long run, be bad for you.
True but will your choice change the course of society? Probably not.

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…
