I haven't used Brave at all. I can appreciate wanting the ad-blocker being built in. I guess I've been using ad-block add-ons since... they first existed (I remember being excited about FF 2.0), so I'm actually kinda leary of built in ad-blockers (alignment of interests and all), but I can also appreciate with Brave is trying to do with BAT and all.
I guess I naturally stick with FF (despite being annoyed by many of their changes) since I can (or at least I think I do) appreciate the magnitude of what they're trying to do, as well as the realize that while it's okay to hold them to a higher standard, what it feels like is that a lot of people hold FF/Mozilla to a really high standard, and then Chrome/Chromium to different (typically lower) standard, and when FF comes short of their high standards, they just switch to Chrome/Chromium without actually directly comparing the two browsers to each other. Like if FF can't be the fantasy magical piece of software they want, they may as well just use Chrome/Chromium.
Rant over.
I hope FF keeps the dev-tools. I'd be in a pickle too if they went away.
