Why do people switch from chrome to Brave browser and not to Firefox? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
[โ€“] SqueakyBeaver@piefed.blahaj.zone 4 points 6 days ago

The only times I've ever run into stuff not working were:

  1. The GrapheneOS installer bc it uses web USB
  2. Sites that decide Firefox isn't good enough (glares at Pearson), though I just use a user agent switcher and suddenly the site works

I think it's supposed to be use after free, but it isn't clear because none of the others use that layout

For those who don't know: "use after free" is a programming term that means you tried to use something that was stored in a certain place in memory after that thing was already freed (removed from that space in the memory). As a result, you get unexpected behavior. This can be exploited to allow an attacker to get a program to run anything they want.
