In terms of vibes, firefox and brave give off the same queezy “we care about your privicy” half trueth. Read most uncharitably, mozilla gives off a neglectful abusive father vibe where brave has a potential crypto scammer vibe. Being so jumpy about software as I am, following KISS and having less (to me) unknown background machinery a is a way of comforting me. (caugh I hate “safe browsing” caugh) Firefox probably in reality fails this metric but sells the illusion effectively.
Also defaults are powerful, I trust my distro, everything not from them is first by default, sus.
switching costs are high for me.
Well, actually FF defaults aren’t that great for privacy. Later on, crypto stuff is disabled by default on Brave, so it’s not like they are stealing your wallet… Agreed on the safe browsing stuff, which I think it’s on by default for both and it’s something I’d prefer not to have in my browser.
