[kwlug-disc] et tu, Firefox?

[Doug Moen]

On Linux there is Ungoogled Chromium (like Chrome, without google services or binary blobs) and Libre Fox (like Firefox without spyware or binary blobs).

Brave is distributed by an advertising company, so I won't use it. I'd use a Brave fork with all the advertising, cryptocurrency and spyware removed, if it existed. I also don't want the Brave AI features.
