    I use Brave as a second browser (mainly to separate different activities) and did not have any issues with it apart from dragging tabs between monitors (it creates an additional empty tab sometimes when doing this). Turned off all unnecessary stuff right when I first launched it and that’s it. No bloat, no issues, just works. Didn’t know about this CEO controversy but seeing as it was a long time ago, don’t think it’s a valid reason to not use Brave. And both logo and name are cool.
    It’s a solid option which we don’t really have a lot of in open source space

      Firefox has profiles AND container tabs for exactly this though.

          I’m talking about the browser user profiles, where your user data (bookmarks, passwords, extensions) is stored.

          Firefox puts them into profiles so that you can change between those sets, as if you’re a different user, without changing user accounts at the OS level.

          This isn’t about online accounts.

              Yep, Mozilla doesn’t tie your Firefox settings to your Mozilla account. It does require it for syncing between devices though.

              Glad to get people to understand Firefox better. Hope my comment didn’t come out as too crass or anything 😅
