The shady world of Brave selling copyrighted data for AI training - Lemmy.world

Been using brave for a few years on mobile and desktop.

They uses to give away BAT, but they have refined their system to not give any unless you spend hours jumping through hoops and linking shoddy Chinese financial apps and crypto wallets.

I still use it for the privacy, but after reading this I will likely switch back to firefox or another chrome based browser.

What privacy? You do realize the browser has access to all the data it renders right?
Mostly sharing with ISPs, and blocking trackers cookies and some ads natively is nice too.
Right but you also have to trust that the browser doesn’t send your info to its mothership. Because unlike cookies, trackers and such, it has access all your data.

I mean it’s refaced chromium, isn’t the mothership google?

Doesn’t google already know what shade of pink/brown my asshole is?
