Cue the Brave shills “recommending” to switch to Brave in 5..4..3..
Wait what's wrong with Brave?
Brave is by a company who’s in the business of serving ads.
Much like google was back in the day, they’re trying to obtain market share with a product that they can easily manipulate after the fact and rely on people not jumping ship as things get progressively worse and worse bit by bit
Think of the “approved ads” era followed by the “enhanced security features” which made it so your block list couldn’t be updated at a moments notice and now it’s being stripped entirely.
Better to avoid it entirely and just use Firefox or a derivative thereof
It's not firefox
It is also chromium based, so stands to get the same nerf.
Yeap, just a matter of time.
I would argue that if you're choosing between chrome and brave, brave is still better.
Sure. Probably. But why are we choosing between Chrome and Brave?
Is a two party system not capable of approptiately responding to the needs of the people within it?
People entirely blind to the idea that they can just choose something else instead of 2 piles of shit, one of which has a cherry on top and was sprayed with perfume recently.
Its like some sort of awful american tradition at this point.
On iOS you can go on pornhub on brave and it blocks all the ads and cookie popups.
That's one reason that uh... "someone" might use brave.
Orion also blocks ads on iOS and isn't backed by Thiel, run by Eich or an ad business startup masquerading as an ad blocking browser.
Brave has a certain distasteful reputation earned by repeated unethical fuckery. If you are fine with what brave does, you have no reason to avoid chrome in the first place.
