Brave is listed there as an open source alternative to Firefox (as well as Chrome and Edge). But isn't Firefox (which itself is not listed on this website) open source as well or am I missing something?

Thought this exact thing, sad to see brave being recommended and not firefox itself :(
Perhaps this goes back to the logo having copyright (not Creative Commons) which is why IceWeasel and IceCat were created.

Are you implying it's not both an alternative and open-source? ;)
I'm just wondering why Brave is mentioned and Firefox not, especially since they already mention Firefox (as Brave being an alterantive to it) It kinda implies Firefox not being open source
