They made it “FREE” for linux users? why ? lol anyway - If I had to use a chromium browser, Helium period.

No such thing as a free lunch - if something’s free, you’re the product.
Both standard and “diet” versions, Brave and Brave Origin, come with features that don’t make sense to maintain without incentive, which begs the question of where the money comes from, and that given how things go nowadays, I point to the opening phrase.
Though having less features may indicate a failed product, one that is bleeding the company too much?
I don’t see the removal of features as evidence of a failure. If anything, it’s something a lot of people in the niche browser market have wanted from Firefox for a long time.
When Mozilla adds
- AI toolbars and
- AI windows and
- AI context menu options and
- AI summaries and
- a shopping toolbar and
- advertisements disguised as news and
- advertisements disguised as frequently visited sites and
- advertisements disguised as a handy weather widget and
- an invisible advertisement framework and
- a Tab Notes feature that was already an extension and
- a VPN that basically was already an extension
I see this as desperation.
Firefox? Thought we were talking about Brave.
We are, I’m just using Firefox as a counterexample to the idea that less features = desperation.
