Brave wants google account, which sux rox. Another alternative, please?

They say not so on their home page but I'm not using as I need Firefox type extensions.

Brave never sees the sites you browse. If you use a search engine such as Google, then anything you type in the search bar will be recorded by Google — but not by Brave servers.

Pale Moon is one alternative as is switching to Firefox ESR until June of next year.

I moved to Pale Moon several years back when Firefox got political. It was great for the first few years - other than their constant nags to upgrade (I finally turned the notifications off because I upgrade on MY schedule, not theirs, LOL).

I tried Brave but it’s 135meg (and over 30 seconds) just to launch. None of my extensions were transferable, the bookmark sync process was arduous, and I just didn’t care for the look and feel.

I’ll never allow Gargoyle of any sort onto any of my computers so chrome is out of the question. Edge is garbage so I’d rather do a IE session that bother with it. I noticed that live video feeds suddenly stopped playing with PM so I (reluctantly) loaded FireFox back up (ver 27).

I guess I’ll just have to live with the fact that it’s a vast wasteland out there - at least as browsers go.

If you use Google as a search engine in the browser--whatever the browser--Google will still see you; they do not honor "do not track" requests. You will need to use a proxy search service like Duck Duck Go or some other intermediary aggregator.

“Pale Moon is one alternative”

i gave up on PM years ago: it’s a one man band and they repeatedly, deliberately broke almost all addons.

Forgot to ping you others to Comodo Ice Dragon post...

BTW.. it is possible to move your whole PROFILE over from FF to Comodo (and Pale Moon, if you use it) and it will look identical (add-ons and all) when you start it up.
