    Hell nah Brave is awful

    Brave had a massive bug where Tor sessions were leaked to ISPs. Ain't no way im trusting something like that in 2026

    Ah, yes, I should judge the browser by whether it strips arbitrary query parameters from links by default, because there's no way that'll break something, and if it uses encrypted DNS by default when... "connecting from Brazil", because that's definitely a good test of a browser.

    This is an ad for Brave. The creator of this site is Arthur Edelstein who is employed by Brave. 🙄

    I am so sick of “privacy guides” that subtly try to push a crypto bro ad company browser.

    Brave is a crypto bro run ad company whos CEO is openly anti LGBT+.

    The OG poster is a 12 day old account with a lot of submissions to try to hide that. I could easily write a bot to do the same to give “credibility”.

    I find it hilarious when people call brave, a browser by an ad company basically, a good private browser.

    I followed all their shenanigans over the years. No one should touch this bloated browser.

    Say it with me.

    Brave 👏 owns 👏 an 👏 ad 👏 network. 👏

    Also, the homophobia.

    It's worse than an ad network; it started out as a crypto scam wrapped in a protection racket. "Sure would be a shame if we MITM'd your ads and didn't share a cut with you because you wouldn't help us legitimize our funny munny."

    Brave is a crypto scam disguised as a reskinned version of Google Chrome

    Serious people use literally anything else. At least Google is honest about its spyware

    Why does Firefox have an ❌ next to "Insecure website setting"? It very much does warn you. There's even an "HTTPS-only" setting that allows you to completely block insecure websites from loading.

    It is. I posted elsewhere but will do so here for visibility.

    I like how librewolf has more green checks than brave but brave is shown first like it's the best. really shows the biases of the authors

    Edit: lmao hoisted by my own petard, it's just in alphabetical order and I just hate brave. Tbf fuck Brendan Eich.

    According to the other comments, the website is by Brave (or at least a Brave employee) so kinda, yeah...

    Oh I'm all for shitting on Brave, and I didn't bother to give this list a look anyway because Librewolf is my goat. But that's so fucking cringe lol. It's a shame that so many websites, including Privacy Guides where I essentially started my journey into FOSS and learning about alternatives to Big Tech, recommend brave. Like if someone TRULY had to use chromium, I'd tell them to just stick with Ungoogled, as I don't know enough about Vivaldi. But like that should be an absolute last resort choice.

    But the main issues was the commentor didn't notice it was Alphabetic lol.
