    Brave? The browser that hides ads and substitutes their own? The one that keeps you private from Google AdSense so they can sell your data themselves? The one that keeps their Chromium build lean, so that you don’t notice the crypto miner running along side of it?

    The fucking PayPal Honey of browsers? When the fuck did they ever look good? They’re like the “Banzai Buddy” of the HTML5 era

          I thought it was common knowledge; he donated to some anti-LGBTQ political campaigns in the US which ultimately lead him to resign from Mozilla and start up his own browser. Which is good enough reason in my opinion to avoid it regardless of what ever else might be good about Brave.

      They managed to piss off Tom Scott.

      A thing I had not previously considered was possible.

          Their “Tip Me” system was opt-out.

          In other words, they’d slap a “give this person money” button on other people’s websites, and then collect the money themselves, and even if they did send along every last cent to the actual person, that’s pretty well fucked.
