Warning to all Brave Browser Users

Blocking variations.brave.com which is used for A/B testing could potentially break Brave’s functionalities. For me did Brave’s “forgetful browsing” feature broke which seems to be disabled by default if you block this domain.

            In the same way that I think 3rd degree burns are better than 4th degree burns

              I think you mean 3rd degree burns compared to second degree burns but I get what you are saying

                  True but its basicly the same as 3rd degree burn. You will basicly never see it in the field

              Idk wtf you’re saying. You mean stock firefox as in firefox with no settings changed? If so, it’s not great but in no way as bad as chrome. That’s just a ridiculous statement. That being said, hardened Firefox is fine and it’s not very hard to do. By harden i mean common sense tweaks. I don’t use arkenfox or anything. I think it’s overkill at that point.
