I currently use Brave and am curious about the pros and cons of both since I see many people recommend Firefox.

    Firefox is a little more complicated than that. Yes, the Mozilla Foundation is a non-profit, however it’s subsidiary the Mozilla Corporation is not. It’s better than Google but like all things, it’s worth asking where the money comes from.

      90% of their money comes from Google funding them so that they are the default search engine. The rest of the money comes from their VPN, Pocket and sponsored shortcuts, and voluntary donations.

      True. OP looked like s/he wanted a simple answer so I just went with the basics, especially as there’s not a noticeable difference in basic browsing performance between the two in their current form (although I think FF is slightly faster right now).
