- Brave may block third-party trackers, but it collects data on you and will gladly share your information with third-parties, as shown by Switched to Linux. Mozilla, on the other hand, doesn't collect data on you unless you allow them, and you can download extensions that block third-party trackers. RemovedUser • Jul 2019 • 9 agrees and 3 disagrees
- Firefox runs off its own engine. Most browsers use the Chromium engine, which is what most websites are built for. The browser is slow, and most pages don't even load properly because of this. kdakdkzxobincewjvj • Jun 2020
- only left contender to chromium-browsers and still pushing good features regularly c23 • Jul 2019 • 5 agrees and 4 disagrees

- Less focus on privacy, security and anonymity, which is the main focus of Brave browser. Google has been taking stances and actions that go against those principles. Guest • Aug 2017 • 48 agrees and 4 disagrees
- Chrome is not privacy-focused and doesn't include built-in ad and tracker blocking which are distinctive features for Brave. Ugotsta • May 2019 • 14 agrees and 2 disagrees
- Chrome does not have the privacy and added peace-of-mind features which come with Brave. Also, you must add your own extension for ad blocking some of which are illegitimate and may possibly harm your computer. Guest • Jan 2020 • 1 agrees and 0 disagrees
- it is very good and a very fast browser like brave Guest • Mar 2020
- Chrome is just about the worst browser for privacy I can think of. It's not even close to being a good alternative to brave, which has a strong focus on privacy as a selling point. Their similarities begin and end at being chromium based web browsers, and it probably shouldn't even be listed as an alternative here. Buster_Blue • Mar 2020

- Tor browser is for ultimate paranoia privacy. Brave is for general, every day use. kdakdkzxobincewjvj • Jun 2020
- The most privacy-oriented browser there is. However, due to its learning curve and different setup, it's easier to use by the power user. If you don't want to learn how to use Tor, go with Firefox. Brave collects your data and displays you ads. coralinecastell • Nov 2019 • 1 agrees and 0 disagrees

Waterfox is a high performance browser based on the Mozilla platform. Made specifically for 64-bit systems, Waterfox has one thing in mind: speed.
- Similar to FireFox, it does NOT share any information, it's basically like FireFox on steroids (in a good way). I personally use Waterfox and I think it is really good. Guest • Oct 2019 • 3 agrees and 0 disagrees
- Very much privacy focused and there are many great plugins. Read up on how to shut off WebRTC, it is simple and protects your privacy. Guest • Sep 2019 • 2 agrees and 0 disagrees

Much faster then Google Chrome due to ad and tracker blocking. I also like it's ad delivery through push notifications and the option to limit or disable ads at all.
