Ask HN: Brave Instead of Firefox?

I'm curious about everyone's experience with Brave instead of Firefox. For all the various reasons [0] I don't use chrome any more.

I just downloaded Brave for my main web-development browser (...via finding the latest release on their GitHub page, since they insist on doing an admin-only install on the mac, grr...) in hopes that it's actually faster than Firefox, and uses less memory (so they claim).

After startup, Firefox (that I'd been doing a day's dev on, so this is totally unfair, but I'll keep an eye on Brave) was using ~450M, and Brave ~140M.

Has the chrome-style dev tools, so that's nice. Don't care about the "rewards" thing, since it won't be my main browser.

Do you use it? What do you think?

I'm not affiliated with the Brave folks in any way, just curious.

Thanks!
