YSK: Brendan Eich left Mozilla over his own homophobic beliefs. He is also a coronavirus denier.

Brave is homophobic Chrome with crypto on top

Cool I guess. But I still find Brave to be a sketchy organization with how they have done some of their schemes to make money over the years. So will continue to avoid anything they make.

Go ahead all you want. I'll never install Brave because it's chromium based and because of their leadership and their choices.

good, now it can go fuck itself without google's interference

So they can send your data to Microsoft instead of both.

Is Brave browser the cryptocoin crap browser? I think I've used it for a short time about 2 years ago, before moving to Vivaldi and later Firefox.

Brave's a bunch of marketing/advertising driven crypto"currency" i.e., pyramid scheme peddlers desperate for greater fools.

On a computer either use uBlock Origin-included LibreWolf for stability and privacy, Zen browser for power users, and on Android one can use Fennec; all of them Firefox derivatives.

i used this piece of crap on windows, and theres always a small brave.exe running in the background even when you disable background running. i have no abiloty to prove its spyware, but doesnt strike confidence.

also we have cromite, librewolf, ironfox, why would i install this crap?

Brave has a good marketing team.

Firefox can be installed from Mozilla and managed by Obtainium. Much better option all the way around.

I gave Brave a try back in the early days. The Brave wallet was useless and something I didn't wanted. There wasn't much to differentiate it from Chrome back then on desktop. On mobile, it has built in Adblock but that's it. Vivaldi, IMO, bundles in more features for a Chromium based browser.

Either case, I have been on Firefox for multiple years now despite it's own issues. uBlock Origin is properly supported on it (both desktop and mobile). I think FF(nightly version or Iceraven, a FF fork) is the only browser that allows sideloading of extensions on mobile. Chromium based browsers are way behind in this regard.
