Chromium is open source, you can inspect the source code and build it yourself. It’s not spyware by default.
If you’re going to try to get people to switch to Firefox, give them a legit reason.
Also, Firefox itself has telemetry that some would say is spyware. Not to mention, Mozilla has done some sketchy stuff themselves. Recent one is enforcing blocking of extensions on specific domains without user’s intervention and picking out their own preferred extensions. (https://lapcatsoftware.com/articles/2023/7/1.html)
The dumb thing is you could very easily demonstrate the “need” for sites to disable extensions by default by making a proof of concept extension that had normal behavior everywhere else, but was able to identify when it was on a bank site and jack your credentials. It’s not a lot of code and there’s a reason I’m pretty selective on what I install. It can definitely be done.
Just giving a vague “security” response makes it seem super sketchy.
Just stop using Brave and switch to Firefox. Chromium is spyware.
