We’re excited to announce the release of Zorin OS 17.3 today, which brings a host of improvements across the system. It introduces new features, …

In light of Mozilla’s recent policy changes, we no longer feel assured that Firefox aligns with our commitment to protect your privacy. This prompted us to revisit the choice of default web browser in Zorin OS 17.3.

    While FF’s evil quotient has been on the rise, Brave definitely isn’t a better option. If anything, librewolf is the way to go.

      What’s wrong with Brave?

      • Based on Chromium so good web support
      • Decent privacy
      • Built-in adblock
      • Easy to customize
      • Open Source

      It’s the browser I’ve chosen to use after getting fed up w/ Gecko’s terrible web compatibility these days (coming from Librewolf).

      What’s wrong with it? How is it evil?

        What’s wrong is that we’re on the Fediverse and many here write off Brave because the founder is “homophobic” because he’s a conservative Christian. Sure, they make up all sorts of shallow justifications like “it’s a crypto scam” but it definitely boils down to the “homophobic” whining.

          Found Brendan Eich’s sockpuppet :)

          A conservative can’t be a Christian, and vice versa. Jesus was absolutely clear: He cares as much about the sex of who you sleep with as He does about the fabric of your underwear. Hatred is never justified.

          Homophobia is a plenty good reason not to use a browser. Eich is an unscrupulous person at best, and his name leaves a stink on any project he is involved with. Unsurprising that Brave has decided to embrace the crypto fad and is moving towards becoming an ad platform.

          Brave is a scammy project founded by a scummy person. I’m not sure FOSS development can fix that as long as he is in charge.

            Read the Bible. Even the apostle Paul reiterates that it’s sinful.

            As I said before, it all comes down to the “homophobia” argument. No good reasons, just a hatred of its founder. Pretty sad, if you ask me.

                  I’ll never understand why this cult-like shit is accepted in the mainstream. Where is some tangible, irrefutable evidence that your god exists?
