@privacytools Is Brave Browser a good replacement for Chrome?
Or is firefox and tor browser better?
@moongaia @privacytools I have used Firefox and TorBrowser for many years.
I was asking about a replacement for chrome for those pesky sites that are slow on firefox and sites that are not 100% compatible.
Thank you for your input.
@TheGnuMaster @privacytools Brave has horrible standards compliance and is pretty unstable.
@captainduckman @privacytools I have used Firefox and TorBrowser for many years.

@captainduckman @privacytools OK, I got rid of Brave.
Tor is super secure, but slower than hell and has some drawbacks (e.g. certain sites block tor nodes)

@tyil @privacytools @smithy Tor is really fast nowadays. Capable of streaming 4K or 1080p at the very least.
(I know that is not always the case).
I wish there would be more Internet Service Providers who would be brave and support Tor Exit Relays.
@tyil @privacytools @smithy That is unfortunate. Everyone must still keep fighting.
Watching the things happening in #HongKong should make everyone realise how important Freedom is worth fighting for.
Look at the Hong Kong Youth, knowing they could be jailed for 10 years for so called "rioting", knowing that the PRC millitary could invade with/without the request of the HK government and slaughter them all.
That is why we shouldn't give up on basic rights just as Privacy, Freedom of Speech etc. because it is what matters the most.
@TheGnuMaster @privacytools I wouldn't touch Brave at all. https://spyware.neocities.org/articles/brave.html. If you want a Chromium-based browser, Ungoogled Chromium is better (although I will still recommend Firefox).
