    Zen is just preselected no telemetry Firefox, also bleeding edge with Firefox updates

    Brave is fine ish but they have issues, and a lot of them, which they usually fix within 24 hours but they’ve had a track record of like 8-10 issues per year, so just under once a month.

    Don’t downvote me to hell cause it’s a reddit link, sorry, this is the most concise list I know of: https://www.reddit.com/r/browsers/s/AErPH6iMl0

      Brave is the only browser I’m aware of whose “issues” rise to the level of “we’re going to hijack your URL bar and insert our own affiliate links”

      I haven’t heard of Zen and just checked out the wiki on it.

      There are so many browsers! It’s hard to decide. I’ve tried quite a few over the years. Been running Brave as primary for 3-4 years.

      I appreciate the Reddit link. Yikes. I’ve noticed the enshittification of Brave but didn’t know all the bad stuff they’ve done.

      I do like that Brave works well on all my devices and sync is reliable. I don’t like running different browsers on diff platforms.

      Time to do some testing and research…
