This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Gonna call it now: that 60 quid 'one time' purchase is not gonna be the end of it.
In, at most, a couple of years, one of these things will happen:
Unless you absolutely want to contribute to the chromium monopoly, Firefox is right there and still free. If you're concerned about the telemetry, LibreWolf is worth looking at.
Thanks, but I'll just stick to Firefox
Good news for me! I don't have to pay since I don't use brave at all. Yay me!
Oh shit. Someone finally called my "I'd pay not to have to use AI" bluff.
Brave, and Brandon Eck are shit anyway, with or without AI.
Brave is something I never wanted in the first place.
Huh, funnily enough, Ive introduced my own $60 fee if they want me to read the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy agreements that come along with their browser.
You can go into the settings and manually disable (nearly?) all the features that are removed in the paid version without paying anything. That’s what I did. They aren’t paywalling the ability disable the features.
It doesn’t matter to me whether someone uses Brave or not, but the headline is misleading, though pedantically accurate.
Honestly I don't hate that at all
If you really want to use a chromium-based browser, Vivaldi does all this and for free. It's not bad, definitely a bit faster than firefox but that's the nature of the beast for the web these days. I also like having my tabs on the side rather than the top. I think you can do that with Firefox via an extension, I'll have to play around. But I much prefer using Firefox in my daily life
Vertical tabs is a built in function of FF. I think you just right click on a tab and there's an option on the context menu to switch maybe?
