It gets my goat that people think it’s a good option. There are plenty of articles explaining some of the many issues with it, but a few are:
- It’s run by anti-LGBTQ+ crypto bros.
- It has ads right out of the box.
- It collected donations towards people who never signed up for them - then held them to ransom in exchange for the kind of information you should never share on the Internet.
- They’re a for-profit advertising company. “Privacy-centric” my elbow.
probably one of the best chromium privacy browsers, compared to the rest
Sure, it doesn’t have a really good background, but for the balance of features / convenience, it’s the best chromium browser
I couldn’t agree more, for me LibreWolf is my preferred, but with work, or syncing or compatibility brave just provides are good out of box experience. Is the crypto stuff garbage,? Yeah but breaking news, you can turn that stuff off.
Is the CEO a douche, yeah but most CEOs are.
I also find it ironic that ppl get on thier high horse, going this company said something that’s bad, which they post from thier iphone/macbook, which was built though child labour, modern slavery and worker suicides, by a company which actively has anti consumer practices. But they hit thier limit at “brave browser CEO said bad thing”.
Same can be said for any phone though. Default OEM Android is a tracking nightmare
We’re just okay with some things that people arent, and not okay with the thing some people are okay with.
Saying Apple is shit while most people seeing this will just decide to stay on their Xiaomi or Samsung is so dumb. Sadly this world is plagued with subjectivity.
I 100% agree. Apple was just an example. You could insert Microsoft, Google, Meta,…
They’re all as bad as each other.
My point is CEO says bad things and is a bigot, isn’t as bad as the harm some of these other big entities are doing.
