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.

    Nothing. People complain about its crypto and AI ties, but the TOU outline both clearly and they’re easy to opt in or switch off as needed. That its native adblock works better than anything else I’ve ever used is enough for me. It’s a good browser.

    People are just jerks.

      When using brave i would often get those captchas where you have to click on traffic lights on endless pages and more pages of pictures. I guess google tries to get those pennies back from you in this way when it detects braves adblocking. Now ive been on firefox+ublock and i dont get those infinite captchas nearly as often.

      As they should. Don’t forget the anti-lgbtq+ bullshit, or the fact that they have done many dodgy things in the past. No no, other than all they they are great!

      If opting out is the solution, then just use Windows and Microsoft Edge. You can just “opt out” of the features you don’t want.

      But Maybe it’s not about opting out, and giving the finger to bs behavior.

        You’re forgetting the adblock feature in Brave. Youtube still hasn’t figured out a way around it, even though they’ve figured out how to attack ublock several times
