Fuck you, Brendan Eich
If the allegations are true, Brave has found a remarkably efficient business model: block the publisher’s ads, bypass its paywall, scrape its articles, then sell the results to AI companies. All while marketing itself as the browser that protects people from shady internet practices.
Brave’s always been shady.
I don’t get why it is listed in the Arch Linux wiki.
Sounds about right, given that its previous business model was MITMing ads in order to extort website owners to buy its crypto.
The media is always lying to some extent. This is just karma
Edit: Karma for the news outlets that lie. There’s a browser that can get around all their bullshit now and it’s great
They also own their own ad company.
And people over in Reddit and tech-illiterate people recommend this garbage?
Always have. Did you know blatantly lying to idiots will get those idiots to repeat those lies? It’s true!
People in this thread are recommending brave lol
I don’t love brave… it’s kinda wierd…
damn i hope both of them lose somehow
Sure. Let media outlets owned by the rich fight tech companies owned by other rich people. Doubt it changes anything though.
Glad I decided to drop them and go with Duck Duck Go instead six months or so ago. Heard some shitty things about the owners of Brave…
What browser do y’all (who hopefully are more informed than me) recommend? I’ve switched from Chrome to Firefox and now to Brave…
Firefox is still perfectly fine.
Why the fuck would you choose Brave? What was appealing about that mess when you had Firefox which works absolutely fine to begin with? Anything built on Chromium is not in your best interest.
Go back to Firefox or any of the various derivatives.
If you must have a back up chromium browser at least choose something like Vivaldi.
LIbrewolf is my personal choice along with mulvad browser but I don’t use chromium browsers
Waterfox
Librewolf on desktop, Ironfox on mobile
So when google, meta and amazon do it it’s cool, but when a good campany does it it’s bad
Brave is not a “good” company.
They’re better than any other company that makes a browser
Except they don’t make a browser. They just repackage chromium with some very dubious modifications. Not to mention the bullshit with stealing ad click revenue, and didn’t they have a fucking crypto miner bundled in at one point?
They’re absolute crap.
They have excellent PR and marketing. People think they’re better than they actually are.
