I’ve been seeing a lot of people hate and uninstall Brave. Why? It’s not like they’re tracking us or doing anything else shady. If so, what’s the privacy alternative?

I am a very, very long time Firefox user. Brave probably has a case for getting Chrome users to consider switching, but I’ve never encountered any compelling reason to consider switching from Firefox to Brave.
I’ve had a ton of websites break when using Firefox with uBlock Origin, I’ve never had a broken website with Brave.
If a site breaks because you’re using ff, the web developer behind it is clearly a fucking idiot. If it works in chrome it’s going to work in FF, unless you’ve done something extraordinarily stupid.
Agreed, but that doesnt fix the issue. Had some issues with ff on a govt site, sent a complaint and got basically “use chrome lol” as a response.
It’s usually tracking protection breaking the site, in my experience.
Even with the protections completely off, it was still borked.
A ton of websites? I block 3.5 million domains through DNS and run uBlock Origin, Privacy Badger and some other anti-tracking bits and pieces, and I’ve only ever had problems with a small handful of sites, which were almost all resolved by temporarily unblocking something. I have had to hop over to a Chromium-based browser only once in recent months, for one particularly badly implemented website. Where are you seeing this “ton” of sites that break? My experience has been quite different.
I find it’s just fine to use Firefox and hop over to Brave about once a year when something doesn’t work.
It’s usually Government websites, and some websites I buy things from.
