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

    There are many reasons. One of the reasons is this sneaky one.

    Then there’s more than enough telemetry Mozilla makes use of in Firefox you need to disable in about:config where most users don’t even look. Lookup the following options:

    • browser.tabs.crashReporting.sendReport
    • datareporting.policy.dataSubmissionEnabled
    • datareporting.healthreport.uploadEnabled
    • toolkit.coverage.endpoint.base
    • toolkit.coverage.opt-out
    • toolkit.telemetry.coverage.opt-out

    Everytime you start Firefox it sends your location to Mozilla. Lookup these options:

    • Region.current
    • Region.home
    • browser.region.update.enabled
    • browser.region.network.url

    These are just a few things Mozilla does and pretty much nobody talks about because they are considered trustworthy. But let’s be real here: Trust is good, control is better. That’s why I made some research about Mozilla and found out about the above things.
