Warning to all Brave Browser Users

Blocking variations.brave.com which is used for A/B testing could potentially break Brave’s functionalities. For me did Brave’s “forgetful browsing” feature broke which seems to be disabled by default if you block this domain.

I have made an entire post detailing (some) of the reasons why you shouldn’t use Brave.

Can we not downvote genuine questions like this? All you do is discourage people wanting to learn and make it harder for people that think differently than you to see arguments against them.

Save the downvotes for rude or bad faith comments.

@IronKrill Thats the same thing I think abt you guys, but alright.

I wasn’t sure how to word my reply, but I was referring to all the people downvoting your response and not you. Unsure if that came across.

You’d need a very good reason to not use Firefox given that it’s all that stands against a Google monopoly on web standards. I was using a Chromium-based browser myself until Opera and Microsoft both abandoned their own browser engines - after that I couldn’t possibly justify not supporting Firefox.

Brave is an ad company. Use a privacy-centric browser like hardened firefox, librewolf, or ungoogled chromium.
