Warning to all Brave Browser Users

Blocking variations.brave.com which is used for A/B testing could potentially break Brave’s functionalities. For me did Brave’s “forgetful browsing” feature broke which seems to be disabled by default if you block this domain.

        Stock Firefox is almost as bad as Google Chrome

          Idk wtf you’re saying. You mean stock firefox as in firefox with no settings changed? If so, it’s not great but in no way as bad as chrome. That’s just a ridiculous statement. That being said, hardened Firefox is fine and it’s not very hard to do. By harden i mean common sense tweaks. I don’t use arkenfox or anything. I think it’s overkill at that point.

            I wouldn’t say arkenfox is overkill. It’s the easiest way to get rid of all the spyware that comes with Firefox by default.
