No matter how many times I turn them off, FireFox keeps putting those advertised pins on my start page. Even Edge doesn't engage in that level of obnoxious corporate shilling.

At least Brave asks if I want ads then pays me in shitcoin if I agree.
I'll have to revisit Brave at some point. I was hoping to use FF because Chromium browsers are notoriously shit on Wayland in Linux.
I use all three operating systems, but I'm on Linux 85% of the time or so. Having legit acceleration for video, etc. would be nice.
I use Linux mint 99.9% of the time and Brave does everything I need it to. From live streaming to watching Youtube. I don't do a lot of online gaming or anything massively graphics heavy due to flakey connections, but I see no advantage to Firefox when I use it.
Brave has come a long ways.
If you don't mind my asking, are you running on Wayland or X11? Are you using Nvidia graphics?
Like I said, I haven't looked into this in about six months, so I'm curious if your hardware and configuration is similar to mine. If it is, I need to try some stuff again.
I believe I am running Xfce as a GUI, and I'm not 100% on the graphics at the moment. I have to pop on the laptop later, and I'll try to get you a better answer!
I'm using a midrange laptop from a few years back, so definitely nothing performance based. But it works for video conferencing, streaming and a bit of web work well for my needs.
I dual boot with Windows 10, but never use that. The performance on Mint is way better.
Check out LibreWolf a hardened fork of firefox, it's awesome
I'll give it a peek. Thank you.
