In light of Mozilla’s recent policy changes, we no longer feel assured that Firefox aligns with our commitment to protect your privacy. This prompted us to revisit the choice of default web browser in Zorin OS 17.3.

one of the worst distros ever so I guess this is pretty obvious choice and telling to some.
Define worst? It does what it says, it’s an easy stable distro for windows refugees. Slow updates doesn’t make something bad
the everyday linux distro that is famous for asking people for money for their pro version, cause they know most of the userbase is coming from windows and doesnt know that everything is free?
They don’t force you to buy anything. Almost all distros have a donation button on their site/git.
Nothing wrong with supporting projects you adore.
Ubuntu asks for money for their “pro” version.
It’s a big reason why I switched to Debian.
Brave hates gays
“we replaced the browser with ad ware, that we even admit we had to ship settings to minimise its malware effect”
Y not gnome web
talk about bad taste
Recent firefox policy change is controversial, but how brave is better?
Brave marketing has gone crazy to convince people it’s less dodgy than Firefox. Come on!
They should’ve picked LibreWolf which ships with uBlock Origin. Brave is a disappointing choice because it supports multi-level marketing pyramid schemes which says enough about their moral compass.

✍︎ arscyni.cc: modernity ∝ nature.Seems like a strange choice. If anything i would’ve expected them to just use a firefox fork or something.
Zen is literally the best browser around right now, I do understand the UI isn’t for everybody but if you vibe with it, it rocks
“Mozilla has a bit been shady lately, so we are making the difficult decision to change our default browser to something significantly more shady. We are confident our users will feel safer knowing their data is in even worse hands than before"
That’s gonna be a no from me, dawg
Boo
Well, Brave is -regardless of the companies decisions- still a damn good browser with many build in essentials (TOR, IPFS, Bittorrent…), so, while I PERSONALLY don’t use this anymore (currently I use an heavily patched suckless surf and Dillo) I don’t see much wrong in including this in a distribution especially catering to users switching from windows.
Yes I can’t get through the day without IPFS, good take
Firefox is bad, Brave is evil. Why did they decide switching is a good idea?
