#2How? Browsers need to die. Move all Js to apps and have browsers just display images/video/text in the way that we have found applies to 99% of modern use cases. The only reason Js existed was to afford more flexibility in the time that we didn’t know yet how the web would be used. Move all the code into apps where sandboxing/reputation can handle the security issues more effectively than Js.

We already have this. It's called Electron. It's not really a solution imo.

#4Good. Brave is a solid browser.
As someone who used Firefox continuously from when it used to be called “Mozilla” until early 2020 Brave is vastly superior.
-better UI/UX
-awesome ad block built in and by default, no need for extensions
-noticeably faster
-free of the political WTF-tier decisions of the organization backing Firefox.
Edit: since when do I need to Reddit space here? Maybe I don’t post lists enough and it was always this way?
Edit2: Can anyone explain why more and more comment sections require double-spacing to nest properly? Seems like a HN-relevant question.

I used to use Brave on Android, until the day they placed an ad on the home screen (new tab page? it's been a long time), and I looked in settings and couldn't disable it, so I uninstalled it, left an honest review, and never looked back.

On Android have you tried the similar Bromite browser?

I was super annoyed by that too, but now it’s a distant memory as I must’ve found out how to disable it. I just see a fresh blank page when I open the browser. I don’t think they bother me with anything anymore. I don’t know what list of other things are wrong with Brave, but whatever they are I don’t notice them.

You make it sound like the "need for extensions" is something bad while having the choice and control over what Ublock blocks is something far more superior than some build in ad-blocker provided by an ad-company.

I don't see how exchanging it to the shady business practices (yes...they fixed and excused for that...after it came out) of the Brave ad-company is better. But I guess this is actually some political statement you make here.

Same, tried it, hated their crypto push and ads, uninstalled and never looked back. I'll never use Brave because of their stupid default decisions like putting a "tip" button under each Tweet or random news articles. Such a shame too because otherwise it's a decent browser.
That said, Firefox Quantum is vastly superior in my opinion without all the crypto bullshit.
