#BrowserGate isn't a theory; itās a 6,000-point fingerprinting scan running in your browser right now.
Microsoft-owned LinkedIn is using a Chromium API flaw to inventory your local plugins. They can infer your health, religion, and tech stackāall without an "opt-in."
Technical breakdown for the #HomeLab and #FOSS crowd on why "Shields" are failing:

Going to be a part of the solution:
What segment demographic is so strongly valuing what #BraveBrowser offers that they don't care about the moral outrage? If the task was solvable by the same folk that care the problem wouldn't exist. High priority security is a skill-intensive requirement. Normie programmers can't just fix it, so it stays broke. 
Maybe a deep pocket can afford the staff but angry enthusiasts can't? The thing that may keep being the problem is always the combination of the moral outrage and the unwillingness to be the solution. 
Where do we go? ''Anywhere but here'' doesn't get the dedicated users to change. To get them to switch we have to have a sales pitch, which may mean a poduct. What is their ''killer app'' feature that they're valuing above all things? 
There were arguments for #BraveBrowser at one time. The industry has changed in a different direction. Mostly it's an interesting case study. The arguing from both sides is kind of irrational, though. 
They can be the formerly-good now-enshittified browser without killing your family and eating your dog. Just be able to suggest two other security-conscious browsers and move on. The way there is vitriol all over socials for a failed business is confusing.
