From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Because Chrome is unfiltered corpo shit and Brave is owned and operated by right-wing assholes peddling cryptocurrency.
This. Also, I don't want to use a chromium-based browser, because it will give google enought control to force bullshit like WEI
Brave is so bad. No idea how anyone actually uses that shit.
It's usually performative anti-wokeness from the kind of edgy computer touchers that are preoccupied with other people's supposed performative wokeness.
I need to save that sentence 😃👌🏻well written
Brave is great on mobile, but they still don't have the Firefox reader view.
Brave is my second choice.
