one of the worst distros ever so I guess this is pretty obvious choice and telling to some.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

No, that would be manjaro.
Define worst? It does what it says, it's an easy stable distro for windows refugees. Slow updates doesn't make something bad
A bad move. But again i hate that many distros have a default browser and they don't let you choose.
Brave marketing has gone crazy to convince people it's less dodgy than Firefox. Come on!
Every time someone says anything positive about Brave I assume they're part of the Crypto scheme, or love Brave's CEO.
"we replaced the browser with ad ware, that we even admit we had to ship settings to minimise its malware effect"
They should've picked LibreWolf which ships with uBlock Origin. Brave is a disappointing choice because it supports multi-level marketing pyramid schemes which says enough about their moral compass.

I kinda dislike the default LibreWolf settings. Unsure if they changed it, but I remember that you have no history except you change it in the settings.
A Windows refugee wants a history. Addituonally, many pages just dont work.
My University also does capture a picture and reads it from the Canvas or something, which LibreWolf blocks. It doesnt show again if something is okay or wrong. I just got a Mail that I need to reupload it and go by myself to pickup my University-Card.
I wasnt the only one as Informatics has many Linux users and some Librewolf users.
Brave hates gays
the everyday linux distro that is famous for asking people for money for their pro version, cause they know most of the userbase is coming from windows and doesnt know that everything is free?

Seems like a strange choice. If anything i would've expected them to just use a firefox fork or something.
Zen is literally the best browser around right now, I do understand the UI isn't for everybody but if you vibe with it, it rocks
How's the ad blocking or add-ons? Last I looked there was none.
Zen is based on Firefox, it supports 100% of firefox addons, as well as supporting its own community mods system for changing the browser itself
talk about bad taste
Why not fork firefox
I think maintaning a Firefox fork is pretty demanding especially considering you are already maintaining a distro. And there are already a lot of Firefox forks out there.
True
Y not gnome web
