There are Internet !MEMEs !INDEED where while #Firefox is good overall, it still depends heavily on add-ons/extensions. 🤔🤯😆🤓

Yes, and I used to use Firefox, before the organization that makes it went in such an unpleasant direction. Last I checked, they were on the edge of bankruptcy. That's one of the great things about Vivaldi, as it doesn't need a lot of extensions. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Some #Brave web browser users didn't like the fact that when the #Brave dev team releases an update for a part of their browser (such as Shields or Leo AI), the entire web browser needs to be updated !INDEED. 🤔🤯🤓

Well, if they do monolithic releases, then there's not much they can do about that unless the rewrite significant portions of its code. Incremental releases would also be rather interesting on Linux that uses official package repositories. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

#BraveBrowser has three versions of its web browser !INDEED, which are the Stable, Beta, and Nightly releases. 🤓 The Stable version gets fewer updates but gets more changes per update (which is already apparently obvious). 😅

When updating certain apps on Linux, the updater downloads the entire release binary file (let's say 300 MB), and what gets actually added to disk after the update is just tiny (let's say just 10 MB), and there are occasionally times where a bit of disk space gets freed too. 🤯🤓

There are actually four versions of Brave, the three that you mentioned, and their new
paid Brave Origin, which is free for those on Linux.

Yep, I wish more package managers could do deltas. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

It looks like my reply using #Ecency to your comment there disappeared. 🤯

My supposed comment said that since I wasn't keeping up with #BraveBrowser news, I just knew that Origin was a paid product, not that it is already made free for Linux users !INDEED. 🤯🤓

I don't keep close tabs on Brave development, but I follow their account on X, which is where I've seen it mentioned, and not just by them. Lunduke mentioned it a few times too. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

I recalled that I could enable Brave News again on my #BraveBrowser apps to keep up-to-date with Brave Browser, though I don't like that such feature is ad-supported. 🤯🤓

I understand, as I'm not really into ads myself. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

That makes me assume that you have not enabled Brave Rewards, especially as you haven't published any post or comment about it according to #Ecency Search !INDEED. 🤯🤓

I use Vivaldi as my daily driver, with Brave only being used if I can't get something working correctly in that awesome sauce browser. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

I still wonder though if you at least remember using the Brave News feature on #BraveBrowser (before disabling it permanently). 🤯😆

Given that most 'news' is propaganda with an agenda, I don't tend to enable any news feeds anywhere, unless it's very specific, such as for Linux, open-source software, AI and agentic-AI development, and the like. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

In my case, I just disabled Brave News because while I like reading some of them, it takes away my limited time online (especially for Hive) !INDEED. 🤯😅

I might re-enable it though if such would reward tokens (preferably Bitcoin Lightning) that can easily be withdrawn. 🧘‍♂️💸😅
