"What I don't like must be destroyed."
I hate cancel culture even more than web3.
Just remember that Mozilla gets over 90% of its revenue from Google.

In 2018 Mitchell Baker (Mozilla CEO) received a total of $2,458,350 in compensation from Mozilla, which represents a 400% payrise since 2008. On the same period, Firefox marketshare was down 85%. When asked about her salary she stated "I learned that my pay was about an 80% discount to market. Meaning that competitive roles elsewhere were paying about 5 times as much. That's too big a discount to ask people and their families to commit to."
By 2020 her salary had risen to over $3 million, while in the same year the Mozilla Corporation had to lay off approximately 250 employees due to shrinking revenues. Baker blamed this on the Coronavirus pandemic.
Something is wrong when the king needs to censor the jester.
Why is Mozilla Foundation doing political activism? Is it just some money-grabbing scheme or what?

Not a single word about Firefox, just some far-left propaganda about racial justice, empowered women in tech, Trump bad, and so.
"Do they have a shortcut/hotkey for quickly switching to google (and other engines)?"
Yes, simply add !g to your search query.
duckduckgo is Bing with a new skin and privacy features. Brave Search is built on top of an independent index.

Mitchell Baker (Mozilla CEO) makes $3 million a year, and Mozilla asks you to donate "to help a nonprofit organization".

This lady then goes on and on talking about "social justice".
Also Google deal produces 90% of Mozilla's revenue. I would say Mozilla is really controlled opposition.
Mitchell Baker (Mozilla CEO) makes 3 million a year. It's actually very profitable for a nonprofit organization, isn't it?

Thank you for making my point
This bullshit has nothing to do with Brave. Brendan Eich (Brave CEO) was cancelled years ago, and the mob is still after him. That's what going on really, it's cancel culture at its finest.
I support LGBTQ rights, but I hate cancel culture. It's not acceptable to bully someone for something wrong he said or did many years ago.
It's funny seeing all these folks nitpicking at Brave but who are fine using Google or Microsoft every day.
Very impressed. Results seem already better than duckduckgo.
The entire ad catalog is sent on your machine and some ad engine running inside the browser decides which ads to show you. It's funny seeing all these folks nitpicking at Brave but who are fine using Google or Microsoft every day
Brave ad blocker is written in Rust and browser extensions in JavaScript, so it should be faster
> If earning half a penny in a month is okay for you, in exchange of your privacy, because of course, they’re tracking you with Rewards, then enjoy your money.
Lie. Brave doesn't track you. Your ad data never leave your machine (a bit like your bookmarks). The ad engine works privately on your computer and not on Brave server.
Make no mistake, it has nothing to do with Brave, it's just marxist guerrilla against Eich. They cancelled him once at Mozilla, they are at it again.
Soon publishers will be allowed to run Brave ads on their website (and earn money), but users will be able to disable these ads anytime. So Brave is building a web experience where users can choose to enable ads or not (and if they do they will earn crypto).
Safari team is seriously understaffed, because Apple want people to use the App Store instead.
Chromium/Blink is an open source project (forked from Webkit, forked from KHTML).
We need to collectively switch to Firefox and Brave.
I have just switched to Brave (this browser blocks FLoC across all the web). I regret no trying this browser earlier. Also this IPFS stuff seems very interesting (kind of Bittorrent for the web).
Bitcoin may be a speculative ponzi scheme and Nassim Taleb may be a fraud too.
Aslo these years people were saying BTC is a ponzi scheme and would crash and burn.
Nassim Taled sold his BTC back in February and now he's getting mad BTC is rising more than ever. Look no further than that.
Don't shoot the messenger.
Do you really think that terror organizations like Isis use Bitcoin to buy weapons? No, they use goold old USD.
