Brave is a series scam company
Brave also uses chromium.
deleted by creator
Brave is the offspring of “libertarian” (sociopathic authoritarian billionaire supporting JD Vance) Peter Thiel.
https://marketrealist.com/p/who-owns-brave-browser/
Thiel, among other things, founded palantir, facial recognition software used by police worldwide.
https://www.palantir.com/platforms/
He hates the western world. Hates democracy.

Openly states his plans to destroy the economy and implement a crypto financial system.

And, this is true, he’s the current president of the bilderberg group.

He is not your friend.
He should never be trusted.
Brave is not the private browser you think it is.
By supporting brave you are supporting an authoritarian technocratic state.

I don’t love Peter Theil by any means, and his association with any project is, to my mind, enough to completely discredit it.
But I get a little worried when it starts turning into references to the bilderberg group, and whatever that link is to NCIO.ca is just completely nuts, low evidence jumping to conclusions.
He certainly has crazy ideas that I want no part of, but I think it crosses the line into conspiratorial to suggest he was instructed by Germany to act as a foreign agent to sabotage the global economy.
Nico was a mistake, I meant to link another site. Granted. You can look for yourself that it was thiel who called for the run on the bank. https://www.axios.com/2023/03/14/founders-fund-run-silicon-valley-bank
But bilderberg group is real. Very real. (They had a meeting here, once https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/kanata-hotel-hosts-high-level-power-group-1.601298 )
And thiel is president.
Also, if you can find his manifesto (I’m having a hard time locating it ) he openly states everything i said.

Which lines of its libre software source code are malicous?
Which line of chrome is malicious?
Jfc.
Here’s a cherry, now you don’t have to pick any.
Google Chrome is not libre software.
Why are you making it about that question in particular? There’s a lot of topics that have been raised here, notably Google’s Chromium project, the way it’s killing ad blockers, the way that other browsers also use chromium, people associated with those browsers.
In this range of subjects I’m not sure what the significance is of elevating this libre software question above everything else.
Before Brave better use https://github.com/ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium

If you read others comments, they explain why Brave is not a privacy Browser. You just need to use the good and open source addons for the chromium based alternatives that provide exactly the same or even better than Brave. Brave lies pretty much.

I’m not going to do the research for you, I already read enough to know what Brave is, and I assume that’s why you got that many downvotes on your main post here. If you want me to leave you in peace, don’t reply.

But you said
And I’m not going to search for all those articles that were talking about bad practices of Brave Browser.
If they don’t do proper research, they wouldn’t mind your comment.
But I found this article https://popzazzle.blogspot.com/2021/07/why-i-uninstalled-brave-browser.html where says:
The part of “there was still this big spike of traffic on the computer’s main network meter” claims that Brave Browser is not that private. And you can get the same level of blocking with better alternatives than claiming Brave to be a private solution.
Which is chromium. The article is specifically talking about chromium based browsers and how you’ll lose access too.
