Wow, thanks for such a thorough answer!

Thank you!

Explain me like I’m five - why?

I’ve read the first book of the series after watching the whole show, but I found it less interesting than the show - does it get better with the next ones?

Also refreshing which is rather common action in this kind of apps should be more convenient imo

But doing a refresh on a home button click is just really common pattern. Look Reddit, Facebook, instagram, Netflix, LinkedIn etc. It’s not optimal UX-wise to break patterns repeated in so much apps that they basically became a standard, because it creates confusion for users.

I think even Facebook lets you opt out of personalized ads or is it like that only in Europe as well?

I was expecting a bit more out of this article lol

Mine is still updating from aurora channel 😕 I’m on v118.0b2 now. Guess it didn’t really work

no :/

This is exactly what I wanted, thanks a lot!

I would wait and see if channel gets updated after next update

Well, I wasn’t really aware of the consequences it will bring (crashes, constant updates) when downloading it and didn’t want to setup regular Firefox from scratch

Alright, I figured it out myself - you need to change app.update.channel in about:config to release. TIL that developer edition has its own update channel called ‘aurora’ which is even more experimental than ‘beta’.

Just before all the Brave haters on this sub appear telling you Brave is crypto scam etc. - this is all based on lack of research and just blindly following headlines. You can turn off all the crypto features, Brave won’t force you to jump onto crypto train once you download the browser. They had some unfortunate accident of using affiliate links based on the page you’ve been visiting, but they quickly abandoned the idea. The way I see it is they want to somehow make money out of this as developing a browser is not a cheap undertaking. And yes, Brave is an ad company. But they’re trying to do all this in privacy-preserving way, somehow attempting to change how the ad business currently works on the web. However if you don’t wish to get any ads you can opt out (or just never opt in) of all this and enjoy good browser with good privacy defaults and built in adblocker. Brave is based on chromium though. Whether you wish to support chromium dominance on the web is your personal preference.

I know Brave has a feature to turn off inactive tabs to reduce memory consumption. Don’t think Firefox does

Signal will shut down too though lol

This unironically made me laugh

🤪

Yeah, the downloads section is not looking good (on Safari at least)
