“Mozilla now makes most of its almost $600 million in annual revenue from promoting Chrome as the default search engine on its home page.”
Proofreading FTW.
Expect a wave of fingers cut off and eyes picked together with a stolen phone? Or kidnappings more likely?
I’ve been happily dualbooting Win10/Mint for years on the very machine I’m writing from. Zero issues with boots, GRUB, no need for flatpaks, both systems work fine, both configs heavily customized.
What was your starting point? Having Windows on the machine already and installing Ubuntu on top of it? (that would be commonly regarded as the ‘correct’ order) If not, and you can afford to scrap everything, that’s what I’d go for. If yes, and it’s Ubuntu that’s messing up your dual boot, I’d see if Windows can be restored after removing Ubuntu, and then try a different distro (I’d go with Mint Cinnamon, it normally provides smooth install experience).
What’s your long-term experience?
Excellent. After uninstalling it never comes back.

They haven’t been trying to sell me anything and setting up their own ad system independent from Google is a good thing, esp. when it’s transparent and optional. Brave has its problems but force-feeding users with ads or crypto isn’t one of them.
Mozilla deals with Google
With how much revenue comes from those deals, we might say it’s practically financed by Google. FF is more Google than Chromium-based Brave if you follow the money.
Haters gonna hate. Make FF great again and people will start coming back. Seethe more, and more people will switch to Brave if they haven’t yet.
This. You’d be surprised how much good stuff you can find on those and similar services. Once I learned about them, I practically stopped torrenting.
