Why I recommend against Brave. (thelibre.news)

If you are keen on personal privacy, you might have come across Brave Browser. Brave is a Chromium-based browser that promises to deliver privacy with built-in ad-blocking and content-blocking protection. It also offers several quality-of-life features and services, like a VPN and Tor access. I mean, it's even listed on the reputable PrivacyTools website. Why am I telling you to steer clear of this browser, then?

That thread is several months old, and is specifically about integrating Arkenfox settings changes. I wouldn't say Librewolf has ceased development based on the fact that their default settings differ from Arkenfox. Their Codeberg site shows ongoing work.

And? You have new evidence that things have improved?

and is specifically about integrating Arkenfox settings changes

Why does that matter?

Collaborating with Arkenfox on default settings was nice, but wasn't fundamental to the goals of the project. You can look at their Codeberg to see that the latest activity was a few days ago, and there have been several releases since the date of the thread you linked.
