    That’s the lie they try to sell you.

    I swear Brave ran a very successful guerrilla marketing campaign and it succeeded on Reddit. If you so much as question it or suggest an alternative, you get dogpiled on by Brave bros. I don’t trust it one bit. I’ll stick to FF and its forks.

      Exactly. Same with Opera GX whatever, which is just a weird chinese spying chrome, with nothing to do with Opera from the good old days when it was still Norwegian (Vivaldi is made by those guys still).

      Yeah, haven’t they done a ton of shady shit? I always cringe when people recommend the Brave browser. It’s like recommending a free VPN.

        Brave is a protection racket wrapped in a cryptocurrency scam, created by a bigoted fuckwit. It is fractally shit.

      Apparently Brave’s got some cryptocurrency components, so I guess that’s where the cult-like following is.
