So even though Brave is made on a Google product, Google doesn’t get the data? Is that what you’re saying? Because Google is such an honest company, sure they have no interest in the data of other browser instances made with their platform. Right?
Firefox’s main funding was from Google being their default search engine. Which of course means anything searched in Google (via the URL field) is recorded to the external IP address logs. So unless you are going directly to the website or changed the search engine in Firefox, yes Google was recording said information (or at least compiling the numbers for data analytics) to use for advertising purposes.
I haven’t used Chrome in years. Brave and firefox, that’s my crowd.
same i use Librewolf nowadays
Brave is also Chromium.
Firefox is also a web browser.
Oh sorry, I thought we were making meaningless comparisons.

was ? I think it still is
Which… takes maximum 1min to do.
or default in any of the forks!
I use chrome once or twice a year, when I need to figure out if a website problem is my browser or the site.
Ironically, I use incognito for that.
