My view: Brave browser is a pretty useless Chrome reskin with crypto ads attached. Brave search is a pretty new and exciting alternative to Google.
I am sure those who bought bitcoin relatively early and are sitting on $100K+ worth of bitcoin disagree…
You’re got going to magically turn into one of these people by using Brave btw.
I am one of those people.
The circus is that way.
The crypto bit alone makes the browser super-sketchy. By now, I think everybody has realized crypto is a giant scam.
The aren’t supporting the Web Integrity API
Just use Firefox ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The point of web diversity is to allow people to use what browser they want. If you like Firefox use it, if someone else wants to use Brave, let them.
Brave is not a bad browser, turn on what you want, turn off what you don’t. The idea that there must be a right and wrong is stupid.
To write off an entire browser because of one person at the company doesn’t really make sense.
To write it off because “it’s chromium” is also a problem because they don’t support chrome decisions and are not applying their trash to it.
To write it off because crypto is attached is ignorant because you’re welcome to just turn those features off.
There is only one question: does it use blink?
It has very good ad blocker / fingerprinting protection out of the box. Pretty useful! Brave Search is definetly exciting with it’s own index, pretty good results and AI summarizer.
