and in return, brave replaces your urls with their affilate links. no thanks i'll took the hassle to open tor browser on an ipfs client

Are we talking about BAT? Thought that was an opt in feature.

It's on by default. If I had a complaint about Brave, is that it's a bit "noisy" by default. I'd like more customization options on setup so that there's less customization I have to do once the browser is installed.

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

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...

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.

I'm not very familiar with IPFS. If someone were to say serve or request illegal content, this description sounds like a third party could easily tell what content is being requested or served.

If you’re on iOS you already have native universal hand-off in Safari, works in both directions. Even if it’s off, you can see all your other device’s tabs at the bottom of the mobile safari tab switcher.

Maybe they use Windows or Linux.

Chrome's "Recent Tabs" works like this across platforms. It is a feature I miss in Firefox.

They have both recently put existing tabs in the omnibox suggestions, which is a huge quality of life improvement.

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'm on Android. I use an app called Pushbullet, which mirrors notifications but also enables text and file sharing between all your devices. Sharing is instant. I also enable "open immediately on browser", meaning if I send a link from my phone to my computer browser then it'll automatically open a new tab with that link. It's pretty neat, it's really two or three taps away from any web browser tab on my mobile (open menu, hit Pushbullet shortcut; or open menu, open sharing menu, push to all devices).

It is easier for Brave to deliver new features when the biggest work is done by Chrome team.

It was easy for Google to deliver Chrome when the biggest work was done by Safari team... It was easy for Apple to deliver Safari, when biggest work was done by Konqueror team...

In terms of active development, Google is working on Blink and Apple is still working on WebKit. Every other browser depends on Google and Apple to do the heavy lifting for them.

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.

I wonder why Mozilla even bothers with these kinds of posts. I doubt a single person in the world cares about getting political opinions from their web browser so these kinds of posts just dirty their image.
