In light of Mozilla’s recent policy changes, we no longer feel assured that Firefox aligns with our commitment to protect your privacy. This prompted us to revisit the choice of default web browser in Zorin OS 17.3.

      Yeah that’s such a weird choice, why not like LibreWolf or at least a less weird chromium fork than brave

        They probably know they have to have something with a track record. I use librewolf, but if they stop maintaining it tomorrow I’ll just replace it. I have elderly relatives using Zorin and they would not know how to replace it

    I’m confused as to how people can feel safer that their interests are more respected using proprietary software. Did I miss something on why brave would be a good idea?

    Okay 🤷‍♂️

    Brave is good browser. It’s one of the better Chromium ones.

    Also it’s not like you can’t download and use Firefox on Zorin OS.
