Maybe already discussed - but just wondering

Switch from Firefox to Brave... any particular reason? I've been so used to seeing Firefox when installing - this was just different lol that's all, no issues! Just wondering why the swap!

Am aware of the security enhancements Brave offers vs others, though. I used it for a brief time a few years back so may have to give it another shot!

A lot of folks have complained recently, about Zorin switching to Brave browser. If you read the posts in that thread linked, you will realize how Mozilla, doesn't care about selling your data to the highest bidder, despite their claims 20+ years ago, when they ran on the campaign of, unlike IE, we don't mine your data.

The reality is, selling people's private data has been a lucrative business model for years now, and I find most companies sign the deal with the devil, to go strait that direction. Its rare to find companies who are 20+ years old, and have still retained their innocence.

Greed is the heart of all evil, the acquisition of wealth, unrelenting greed. This is why Mozilla are off the table for new Zorin OS installs. Not to say you can't install Firefox yourself though. I appreciate that Zorin modified Brave out of the box, to disable its lesser wanted features.

Firefox is still available as a Zorin OS system app so install it and use it if that's your preferred browser. I personally have Firefox installed as a Zorin OS app but don't really use it as I prefer other Firefox forks eg Waterfox, Floorp and Librewolf and use all 3 for different tasks as browser isolation is a good privacy policy, I also regularly use Chromium and Brave. I was thinking just yesterday of hardening Firefox to make it more private and secure but in the end I thought why bother when the browsers I am using are already various levels of Firefox hardening and then I installed Mulvad lol though not using it yet.

Quite aware that Firefox is still available to use, guys :rofl:

Just more curious - been out of the loop, per say, with 'Zorin things'..

All good info though! Definitely different than seeing the 'norm' since 2004-ish (OpenSUSE 9 :grin:)

Why doesn't Zorin just go for GNOME's included web browser? Can customize it and add adblock, etc.

Can it access all websites and correctly display them? Will it work with correctly with Government websites? Will it work correctly with sites like Amazon and Ebay, etc.? Will it work with banking sites correctly?
