Firefox 66.0.4 is out, fixes disabled add-ons

I want the ethics of Firefox and the speed / user experience (eg. select & move multiple tabs) of Chrome, so I moved to Brave. It's a Chromium fork that's a bit more Firefoxy -- made by Brendan Eich, former Mozilla CEO and inventor of JS, (eg has the "Switch to Open Tab" feature I love from FF), although there's some cryptocurrency stuff thrown in that I'm not a fan of, but so far it feels like a net positive over both FF and Chrome.

It's very privacy oriented, to such a degree that it actually breaks a lot of websites (but you can disable the shields easy).

If you haven't read this one yet, here's one data point on Brave doing something unethical (blocking ads and collecting payments on behalf of websites without consent/agreement). [1] Tangentially, I'm writing this comment using Brave.

Sadly, I'd also like more competition in the browser technology space; with Edge switching to Chromium, and Safari's years of neglect, it's not looking too good.
