Yes buying second hand stops you giving your money to Google, however it still supports ppl buying them in the first place. And that supports Google.

I wish there was more options in the Graphene space as it’s something I’d love to tinker with too. But also don’t wanna buy from Google.

Hence why I go back to hoping projects like pinephone take off (albeit I’m realistic of the chances of that happening)

Agreed it’s far to little too late. I’ve proudly avoided EA like the plague for a few years now and haven’t missed out on anything worthwhile

Agreed, but I also have work to do. On my personal PC at home I use librewolf, as for most casual browsing its fine.

But the question was why do people use brave over Firefox and my answer simply is cos it doesn’t have the functionality i need. I dunno about your boss but if I say to mine “I didn’t do my job cos my browser of choice doesn’t work” I don’t reckon I’ll stay employed for long.

Several sites/web apps I use for work. And my bank is another one that immediately comes to mind.

Also simply compatibility, some sites just don’t work (or dont work well) on Firefox or librewolf, thats one key reason I go back to brave for a lot of things.
