    People that use Brave always remind of the people pushing crypto.

      Seems like the Venn diagram of those two groups approaches a circle, if the OP is any indication.

      I use firefox as my main but have brave as my chromium/PWA browser because I don’t really fancy using edge or chrome

      What other browsers out there support PWAs that are less spyware-ey than the big names

        Chromium is pretty safe to use. There are also builds of “de-googled Chromium” available.

        Vivaldi, though it’s source available rather than fully open source. It’s mostly the frontend JavaScript (I think?) code which is proprietary.

        Apparently, if you know enough to understand it, you can technically work out what all the proprietary code is and does because it’s all fairly simple stuff and separate from the Chromium base (which they make available on their site), although distributing it would be against their ToS (I guess it’s technically reverse engineering, which is also against their ToS).

        It’s been a very long time and I can’t actually confirm that for the current release, but it was at least true a few years ago when someone who knew far more about programming than me mentioned it on their forums. I think some people took a look at it and found some basic theming stuff, but nothing nefarious.

        They have a fairly solid privacy policy last I checked. They also have no intention of sticking with Google’s v3 plans.

        The only thing I don’t like is they run a daily user count check by pinging their servers. They’ve made it so that there are no IDs, anonymized or otherwise, but it’s still a bit of a black mark on an otherwise decent piece of software.

          Firefox does not support PWAs on desktop, but there is an extension to enable them which works well.

            Out of curiosity, why would you use PWA on desktop?

              test my own PWA of websites I’m developing

              changing browsers or keeping both open breaks the workflow and sucks. and it’s pretty damn slow for me too

              There’s sometimes desktop functionality like saving music on yt music

              Also having them in their own window/their own shortcut is pretty handy and firefox doesn’t support shortcuts either nowqdays
