      To be fair to the video, it presented alternative browsers for those who either aren’t happy about recent Firefox changes, or users who want a secondary browser. I’m not a fan of Brave personally, but the video never really makes the claim that Brave is objectively better than Firefox

          Is it really? I’d say an alternative is generally just “another option that has (more or less) the same features”. Better isn’t really implied, as that’s someone’s subjective opinion.

          “better” is kind of implied when you suggest “alternatives”.

          Only with context, which is kind of what I was trying to say. The context was Firefox users who are not happy with its current direction, or people looking for a secondary browser. That kind of makes the only necessary criteria “Not Firefox”. Everything else is the creator’s opinions of which ones you “must try”.

        Riiiiight, a chromium fork with questionable crypyo and a history of even more questionable decisions (referral scam or not blocking all the trackers, for example) is better than a non-chromium non-fork with no crypto and a history of questionable decisions.

        Despite the negative things in Brave’s history, it is currently the best working browser on iOS that has a working adblock feature.

      This became my work browser a few months back and I love how it just does its job and doesn’t get in my way.
