Oh I know, I was just saying you have to really put some effort in to make it even worse than chrome. Its privacy settings are well thought out and sane by default.
You mentioned Basilisk it was indeed developed by the Pale Moon team. There are browsers which are even better than Brave, but it definitely ranges above all mainstream browsers out of the box. I think it can be on this list without a problem. Brave’s default settings are more privacy-respecting than the ones of Firefox: That’s better and more transparent than what Firefox does by default – even if you disable Firefox’s telemetry in about:config, you still have to deactivate a hidden(!) about:config setting to get fully rid of it:īrave also has good website-facing protection by default (Brave Shields), Firefox’s tracking protection (which is deactivated by default) is a joke compared to Brave Shields. The person who gave that idea should be fired and never allowed to work as a design advisor for anything other than has one telemetry setting and one crash reporter setting in its preferences pane, both can be disabled by unchecking the related boxes (two clicks in total).
It took them more than 5 years (since it was also in Windows 8) to get the message that people don’t like flat, 2-colored icons that look straight up like placeholder icons for an internal pre-test NDA alpha build. Microsoft, again proved how flat UI can be ugly, displeasing and boring with Windows 8 and 10. It’s true that Microsoft picked a bad default theme for XP – that childish Crayon Blue, maybe the Silver theme should’ve been the default one, but I guess they wanted to get away from the gray color of the Classic theme before that… But that flat UI is just asking for trouble. I hope this stupid fad for flat design dies and we go back to gradients and gloss on UI like it was in XP/Vista/7. Opera made it even worse where they went as far as to make the address bar the same color as the rest, which makes the address look like it’s just floating there for no reason. One thing I hate about the new default theme of Google Chrome is that the idiots at Google removed the outline on the address bar making it blend in badly with the rest of the UI. That’s a good thing, because the basic gray (light/dark) theme of most Chromium browsers is really boring.
