PSA to everyone to not use brave browser @brave@mastodon.social, the CEO of Brave Software is bigoted (donated to anti-lgbtqia+ organizations trying to ban gay marriage in the past and still has never addressed it or apologized) and was also against the Covid Lockdowns and is anti-vax. Using brave browser contributes to oppression of LGBTQIA+ ppl and contributes to brave software financially through ads and other means.
I recommend anyone still using brave browser to switch to ungoogled-chromium as a non-bigoted degoogled chromium-based browser alternative. @floccus@fosstodon.org is a good browser extension to use on ungoogled-chromium to sync your bookmarks.

plus there isnt really much privacy or security or any real concerns using a chromium fork, btw the "chromium monopoly" stuff is nonsense since forks dont gotta rlly adhere to all changes that google makes to chromium lol, it's a fork for a reason

its like having an entire app store for desktop applications basically, just ones that use the web browser. its genuinely amazing.
So much open source software implements PWA and PWA is an open source web standard, there is no excuse for firefox to not implement it when every other web browser implements it.
