Firefox has ads by pocket on your homescreen and sponsored search results to name the two that come to my mind.

Forgot about the home screen sponsored stuff since it's so easy to disable it, as for sponsored search results, I've only been able to find stuff about sponsored search suggestions, minor detail. Mozilla suggest

Mozilla has made donations to the Mack group who have expressed hatred towards people who are white.

I've not been able to find much info on this, the only thing I found was a member's only blog post by luduke (who I don't trus), so I can't say much about this.

Both have ads baked in. Brave turns them off by default but tries to get you to turn them on and gives you fractions of a cent in crypto if you do. Mozilla has them on by default.

What ads does Firefox have?

Both have bundled things in their browser. Brave it was their VPN and affiliate link scandal. Mozilla was plugins like the Mr Robot plugin and changing people’s search engines to Bing without their consent when negotiating with Google.

The Mr. Robot plugin stopped being auto-installed a day after people complained about it back in 2017 (7 years ago), and I don't think this ever happened again, while Brave still does its thing to this day (to my knowledge), I haven't been able to find any info on that second point.

Both have made fringe political donations

Which fringe political donations has Mozilla made?

Most of the time I don't mind them, they only get annoying when the battles take longer to finish.

Just Firefox, I like the way it looks, and it's open source.

I still have to wait a long time for the video to load in the Mpv cache

In my experience the video loads in a few seconds compared to the minutes it'd take for it to download, but I get your second point.

So my new workflow is to use Piped to find a video, then copy the end of the link and type “yt-dlp ” in a terminal, wait for the video(s) to download, and open in mpv.

Why not just pass the YouTube link to mpv so you don't have to wait for the video to download?

Hello, I came across zram recently and I'd like to know if I should use it, my laptop only has ~4GB of ram, and for the most part it'll only stutter when I open multiple programs or a game, so would zram be adequate in my case?

Also, would the compressing and decompressing have a significant impact on my cpu?
