    Comments about Mozilla Firefox as an Alternative to Brave
    Comment summary: Comments reveal that Mozilla Firefox is praised for customization and add-ons but criticized for default privacy settings, lacking Brave's ad-blocking and tracking prevention. Firefox is noted for its own engine and synchronization capabilities, while some view Brave as faster and better for privacy. Several users mention that Firefox offers great customization and a large array of add-ons but lacks some privacy-focused features that are native to Brave.

    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.

    Because the tracking prevention is way worse. The extension page with recommended extensions, for example, sends telemetry data to Google. Also, Google is the default search engine, which just screams tracking to me.

    Good base browser still but Mozilla is increasingly adding bundled paid services into it. I understand they have to find other sources of funding besides Google donations, but it's still something to be aware of.

    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.

    Not quite as thorough in its privacy features, but it does include ad/tracker blocking. Instead of adding crypto/ads/AI like Brave, it has optional email/feed/calendar. It's the spiritual successor to the original, pre-acquisition Opera, and they have a strong track record of supporting the user community.

    Chrome is not privacy-focused and doesn't include built-in ad and tracker blocking which are distinctive features for Brave.

    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.

    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.

    It's good but only after you've configured it with its group policy objects (available to download on Microsoft's business website). Almost all of the bloat can be disabled in that way.
