It gets my goat that people think it’s a good option. There are plenty of articles explaining some of the many issues with it, but a few are:
- It’s run by anti-LGBTQ+ crypto bros.
- It has ads right out of the box.
- It collected donations towards people who never signed up for them - then held them to ransom in exchange for the kind of information you should never share on the Internet.
- They’re a for-profit advertising company. “Privacy-centric” my elbow.
Brave shields shit themselves whenever I do a coldboot and have previous tabs open (as in it opens and autoplays youtube ads)
And this is not a chromium issue because Vivaldi doesn’t shit itself in that way
Meanwhile on Firefox UBO works just fine
