Why I recommend against Brave

If you are keen on personal privacy, you might have come across Brave Browser. Brave is a Chromium-based browser that promises to deliver privacy with built-in ad-blocking and content-blocking protection. It also offers several quality-of-life features and services, like a VPN and Tor access. I mean, it's even listed on

LibreNews

The web is already flooded with sellout youtubers and so called tech bloggers praising the "genius" and "unique power" of Brave Origin.
These are the exact same creators who made dozens of videos claiming they "permanently quit Chromium" for the sake of privacy, speed and crap like that.
Now they'll make a new one saying they're ditching chromium (again). For what? A stripped-down Chromium build that charges you $60 just to remove the company's own crypto bloat and AI crap and tell you that it is "the best thing they’ve ever used."
Please, stop it! The game is over. They don't care about privacy or software minimalism. They only chase the hype cycle and affiliate links. Paying a premium to undo years of forced corporate feature creep it's a joke at best, a scam at worst, and watching influencers scramble to defend it is just embarrassing. FU all 🖕 .

Brave is that browser that promised to pay you using their crypto crap, which is worth less than toilet paper, and that requires you to buy Solana using real money to be credited to your personal wallet. Now they want you to pay (60$) to remove their crypto crap from the browser.
You deserve to be scammed, always following the hype hoping to make some money.

MakeUseOf: Brave Origin might be the one browser people don’t mind paying for. “There are two versions of Brave Origin available: a standalone browser that functions as a separate product, and an upgrade for the regular Brave browser that adds toggles for the various features. A single purchase gives you access to both options. This is a flexible approach, if a little confusing.” The Linux […]

Brave just launched Brave Origin, charging users $60 to strip out the browser's built-in Leo AI, crypto wallet, and VPN. The fee offsets lost monetization revenue, though Linux users get the clean version for free. #BraveBrowser #TechNews #Privacy #WebDesign

Brave Origin browser charges $60 to strip out its own AI and crypto features

For years, software developers gave us free internet tools by stuffing them with extra services, trackers, and widgets we never actually asked for. Now, one of the most popular privacy browsers is testing a radical alternative: charging you upfront to take those extra services away. Brave has officially launched "Brave Origin," a minimalist, premium version

@MrClicko wie würdest du das im Vergleich zu Brave Browser einschätzen? Den verwende ich nun seit Jahren. #bravebrowser #brave
@jonah 1:11:42 Spot on regarding #BraveBrowser! "Just switch to Brave" takes care of the basics like adblocking and a more private search engine regardless of device or OS, something that other cross-platform FOSS #webbrowsers have still not done yet.

Harmless? Harmless, you say?

So you find people supporting Nazis, pedophiles, COVID deniers, and the like harmless, do you?

Yeah, I’ve heard all I need to hear from you. You’re one of those people who will argue that Brave Browser and the beliefs of the people behind the company are separate things — the so-called “that’s different” argument. It’s not different, because those are the people you’re empowering — Nazis and the like.
