Idk what that guys is complaining about. I’m running Brave with also uBlock Origin (for the ads the native blocker doesn’t detect) and right now on Youtube the native ad blocker catches everything and runs just fine.
I’m going to paste a reply I got in regards to Brave and why you should change to a different browser
Brave is an advertising company, that blocks everyone, but them. Forcing over people and companies into their system.
They’re heavily in the blockchain ecosystem, with their own worthless crypto.
They take from open source projects (uBlock, Chromium, etc), but threaten legal action when someone forks them.
They install bloat/spyware on your Windows system (later claimed it was a mistake).
Brave, and its CEO is right-wing, lobbying against things like same-sex marriage.
Youre forgetting the fact chrome/chromium has integrated their whole drm b/s recently. They want ad blockers to die, period.
just let people do whatever they want, wtf is wrong with you people
It’s still better than using Google / Edge, and it’s basically the only good chromium alternative to the aforementioned browsers - reminder that stock chromium is not good.
Beside, you forgot the most important point: they further the chromium monopoly, which while the engine is open source its codebase is too big so it is basically controlled by google
Nitpicks:
You can disable all the ads.
Depending on whom you ask, it’s a pro or a cons.
See above.
Vivaldi is chromium based and far better than the alternatives imo. They’re openly anti-big tech, push the fediverse, and will be forking starting at manifest v3.
It is still closed source nonetheless, which is a bit of a gimmick since nobody sane enough could read through most of a browser codebase anyway.
According to this website it is less private than Brave by default, more or less like Firefox
That said, I didn’t consider it before but I’ll definitely check it out later
AFAIK it was tested with the default setting set to no tracker- and ad-blocker. When enabling all the built in measurements it looks a lot better.
Don’t use Brave rewards, so don’t care.
See 1.
So like any for-profit company? Bad, but don’t care.
It’s very brain dead to call the VPN service spyware. Besides, you’re on Windows, you have a lot more spyware to worry about first.
Yeah, don’t care. If we go examining every company by if their leaders are morally good or not, we are gonna come very empty.
But do you know what I care about? A browser that actually fucking works on mobile and doesn’t crash every other time I open it up.
no one cares dude. eat the ratio and stop replying.
If nobody cared, nobody would have replied in the first place.
Also, must be sad to decide to engage based on the karma farm you’ll get, but good for you I guess…?
You have me confused with someone who cares what you think.
let the voting system do its thing, replying about the “ratio” is just about as vapid and cringe as you can get.

You should stop using products for ethical reasons when the CEO is a doodoohead.
That is just a personal opinion of one guy, does not matter if he is CEO or not. I can agree with him or not, it does not matter, everyone could have own opinions, even if it is easier to follow mass opinion Society tells you is correct.
This is pure cowardice.
Yes, that’s why I don’t use Firefox. I don’t like companies that give their CEOs the entirety of goodwill donations and use the vast majority of the rest of the money they make on companies with empty descriptions to give speeches and whatever instead of really investing in their technology to stop having stupid bugs and maybe even be better enough than Chrome to give normies a reason to use it.
Huh? What browser do you use?
Lol “I support unethical billionaires because non profits are immoral unless they match my definition of perfect!”
I’m sorry, is it that weird of a feeling to want a company that pretty much has a single successful product to invest in it when it’s an important part of the internet and in constant usage decline?
This is the dumbest take I’ll read today and completely ignorant of literally everything else that is going on in the industry. You’ve set yourself up with the hottest of hot-take false-equivalencies and then think you’ve hit a home run when you’re really playing t-ball against yourself.
