I use it because it has a built in adblocker, and well it just works.

There is some crypto bullfuck and AI shit you can easily opt out off, and some talk about some CEO making homophobic comments.

    Ahh yes. Brave the bloated browser with very dodgy behaviour. You get a chrome fork with crypto shit, leaky VPN, ridiculously bad search, and a full blown ad engine that hijacks your notifications and tracks you in an ‘anonymized’ way. FUCK.THAT.SHIT.

      Not to be antagonistic, but

      • chrome fork - much of the browser world is this
      • crypto shit - opt in not mandatory
      • leaky VPN - opt in not mandatory
      • bad search - opt in not mandatory
      • ad engine - opt in not mandatory

      So, basically, it’s a chrome fork, and some people prefer chrome based browsers, so it’s purely preference?

        You know what’s better than that?

        The browser world that’s not a chrome fork, and not full of crypto and AI SHIT

        Waterfox, Librewolf, Ironfox, Fennec, Ladybird, etc
