Why I recommend against Brave. (thelibre.news)

If you are keen on personal privacy, you might have come across Brave Browser. Brave is a Chromium-based browser that promises to deliver privacy with built-in ad-blocking and content-blocking protection. It also offers several quality-of-life features and services, like a VPN and Tor access. I mean, it's even listed on the reputable PrivacyTools website. Why am I telling you to steer clear of this browser, then?

I wonder if anyone here is going to mention SeaMonkey-Browser for fun.

It's an entire suite of applications:

Browser
Email-Client
HTML-Editor + Web-Dev Tool
NewsGroup + Feed-Reader
IRC-Client

I really wish seamonkey still worked for modern websites. It's so cool.
