> tracking of tor window usage via telemetry.īrave’s collection of telemetry is minimal compared to other browsers and can be turned off under brave://settings/privacy … Also, they are not monitoring “what” you do in Tor windows, just “that” you use them (just like they monitor the usage of other features), unless you turn it off as mentioned before. If you were an intellectually honest person with an actual purpose that exceeds bashing Brave, you would give this some thought and realize that it is common industry practice and not a privacy issue. Firefox or Vivaldi automatically add (and don’t just offer by default, like Brave) static referrals whenever you perform a search in them. I don’t, I prefer the non-invasive referral instead.Īll major browsers are making use of referrals in relation to searches at least, by the way. You seem to hate it when Brave has non-invasive means of funding, perhaps you like selling out to Google (Mozilla) or selling user data better. Thanks to the referral being static (i.e., the same for all users) it also was never a privacy issue. If you did choose the referral, the sole difference to the normal link was that you helped Brave get vital funding from Binance. They didn’t “steal” links, you had the option not to choose the referral. Try again, Sponsored background images can be turned off easily and if you don’t, they make for fairly nice background images. Firefox has sponsored links on the home screen and occasionally also in the address bar, connecting to some shady proxy for reasons unknown: Not that I care, I am not even using Brave Rewards – why do you assume every Brave user makes use of this opt-in stuff? Anyway. You can’t donate BAT to people who are not registered content creators – so the answer is, if you can’t or don’t want to donate BAT, you get to keep it. ![]() They didn’t even pass that onto content creators and website owners at one point. >Mozilla’s long-term plan is to build its own revenue streams from subscription-based services and reduce its dependence on the Google search deal, which has historically accounted for between 75% and 95% of the organization’s entire yearly budget as far back as 2006 when the two companies began collaborating (with a hiatus between 20, when Mozilla signed a similar agreement with Yahoo). (developer of Firefox) receives almost its entire income from Google, the biggest ad company in the world: Now You: have you tried Pale Moon recently? What is your take on the Firefox is neither owned by, nor does its entire income come from, a single ad company. Interested users can check out the official release notes for a full list of new features and changes. The development team disabled the Storage Manager API by default, and "removed a large chunk of Android-specific code". ![]() NSPR and NSS have been updated, a crash on Mac has been fixed, and a memory safety issue has been fixed. Pale Moon 29.0 introduces a number of fixes and other changes. Adventurous users may set to TRUE to enable the feature. ![]() The development team suggests to keep it off unless users want to help the team with the implementation. What else is new? Linux users get official GTK3 builds next to GTK2 builds, first steps for supporting FreeBSD builds have been implemented, and Pale Moon 29 blocks autoplaying media in background tabs by default now.Īs far as Google WebComponents is concerned, some functionality has been added but is set to off by default. It needs to be set to FALSE for that on about:config the default value of TRUE means means that tabs can be dragged and dropped to create new windows. Another useful addition comes in form of a new preference: prevents that tabs can be dragged and dropped outside the tabbar area to create new windows. Pale Moon 29 supports AV1 video by default, an up-and-coming media format. The team notes that it did not include Google WebComponent support in the new release and that it focused the release on improvements, enhancements, and bug fixes instead.Īs far as new features are concerned, there are a few.
