And they all forget that they are alienating 1/2 of the US population in their zeal to appeal to the other 1/2. They need to see what it is like to lose 1/2 of their marketshare overnight and the resulting drop in their stock price. Delete accounts, go to alternatives, etc. Show them the result.

flashguy,

If you do convert, let us know how you ported your logins and passwords data from Firefox to Brave.

There is a migration tool for copying booksmarks from IE to Brave, but I didn't see one for going from Firefox. I have told Brave to use DuckDuckGo as my default search engine.

I did what skyline suggested and it worked fine importing logins, passwords, bookmarks, etc. from Firefox to Brave. Have also added a number of extensions that I liked such as DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials, Cookie Auto Delete, etc. as well as a Dark Theme. Brave may have made me a convert. We'll see after a few days.

Well, I didn't download it and did not have the opportunity to ask for migration from Firefox at that time -- my Best Friend supplied me with a thumb drive containing it and I ran it from there. The Settings button does provide a tool for migration of information to Brave, but Firefox is not one of the browsers listed as sources.

Try typing brave://welcome in the address bar of Brave. The next screen should give you the option to import from Mozilla Firefox near the bottom.

I downloaded Brave just now, haven't imported anything. Will try it tomorrow. Yesterday I replaced my Text Messenger (Android, more google) with Signal. I like it but am still working out usability. I enabled two step Verification and it seems to want that every time. I also downloaded and setup ProtonMail and Proton VPN on my Phone today. It seems nice so I will be trying to divorce from Gmail completely over the coming days.

The wife renewed AmazPrime about a month ago, we'll see about cancelling. Maybe you can call them and get a prorata refund or something.

I guess there isn't a possibility for a 100% divorce from Google.

Mine is version 1.18.78

Open the menu (three horizonal lines upper right) and click "About Brave" near the bottom of the list. It will indicate version, if it is up to date or if you can update the version.

This whole business probably should have been in its own thread. Sorry para

Bald1 I noticed on the Brave website you can download older versions, I just never went there.

I have the same problem with no firefox or mozilla listing. I am wondering if adblock or Ublockorigin or something else is making it 'invisible' effectively.

I've done both the things mentioned as possible fixes and still no Firefox listed. I check my version of Brave and it gave Version 0.60.45 Chromium: 72.0.3626.109. Just above that it said it had not been able to update Brave and recommended a reinstall. When I clicked on that it brought up a page to install Chrome, which is not what I want.

ETA: Apparently I'd never created an account with Brave, so that may be the problem. I am trying to do that now, but it has tried twice to send me an e-mail with instructions on how to complete the registration, but neither of them have arrived. I have gone directly to Yahoo Mail, bypassing Outlook, and no message there, either (or in the Spam folder).

flashguy,
I know your best friend installed it but it sounds like something is screwy (very old version ) and you need to remove it and install it clean from the Brave website.

83v45magna, you might need to do the same. Must have Firefox closed when you import from it into Brave.

I say this because, brand new to Brave, I went to their site, downloaded, installed clean, imported from Firefox, and added extensions all without any issues at all. Made this move as I am, like many, trying to rid myself of as many anti-Trump tech related products / apps as possible!


FWIW I'm running Microsoft Windows 10 Home (x64) Build 19042.685 (20H2)

Gonna look at installing Brave on my Android phone as well.

Thanks guys! Just installed Brave on my mac. I had to import my bookmarks from Safari to firefox, then from firefox to Brave.

I'm good, but it didn't import passwords, so I have to open my keychain if I can't remember a password.

Tony.

How do we know brave is better? Seems like HQ is in San Francisco, deep behind enemy lines.

Well, looks like Parler is officially kaput. I just tried accessing their site. Nope. Dead.

When I cancelled ours all it did was cancel the auto-renew. It won't be truly cancelled until May. Nothing I could do about that, but I did remove from our watch list anything on it that was chargeable.

I would have cancelled it with immediate effect if I could have--I'm that pissed.[/QUOTE]

That is what I ran in to at first. I got on the chat and requested it be closed immediately and the balance of Prime refunded and Saddam (go figure) made it happen.

We canceled Prime this morning.

Is a AWS server farm going up in flames the 21st century Boston tea party?

And chance we can get this thread back on topic?

There are rumors that before Amazon took Parlar down last night that PDJT posted he pardoned Assange and Snowden, then signed the insurrection act.
