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.
Honesty your arguments against Brave are pretty weak
Brave > Chrome
Brave isn’t great for those who want a lot of private and control. However, it is way better for people to choose Brave over Chrome or Edge.
brave is chrome with a homophobic skin slapped onto it
That’s not saying much.
Literally any mainstream browser is better than Chrome. Chrome is the worst browser in use today.
Sure it’s better, if you want to directly fund anti-LGBTQ+ crypto bros.
May as well give money to the fucking Salvation Army.
Honesty I think the antiLQBTQ thing is way overblown
It’s free and open source, you don’t have to fund anything. Just don’t enable adds/rewards and don’t pay for their VPN, AI, talk.
Can you help me understand how using the browser is directly funding those things?
Let me make it simple for you. Using browser = giving them your data + seeing their ads. Money from ads + selling your data = funding CEO. CEO = anti-LGBTQ+ crypto bro. If you need more help, please engage your brain and re-read this post.
