Brave's aggressive marketing - Lemmy.world
Was reading an answer to the question about fresh Amazon tablet and saw this.
Pretty sure I’m avoiding Brave from now on. Q: Does the fire max 11 have YouTube
app on it. A: A: I have installed Google Playstore , but I skip installing
Youtube app . There is better option . Brave Browser in Playstore !! That thing
has AWESOME popup Blocker and it’s own integrated Youtube Ads and other
Nuisances blocker . My point ? You don’t need youtube on Fire max , You don’t
need Google Maps , You don’t need Facebook App . Just Use Brave .
I really don’t understand why people use and recommend brave. They’ve have had plenty of shady practices in the past and bundle crypto crap by default. If you want to block ads just install ublock origin on (preferably) any privacy respecting browser like firefox (or better yet librewolf), ungoogled-chromium etc
Honestly? Firefox on android sucks and unless you’re getting a fork like Mull on f-droid, the default Firefox on on the Playstore is really bad for privacy too. Brave just covers all the bases on Android and there isn’t much to complain about.
I’ve been using using firefox and more recently fennec and mull on android for years now and I’ve never had a problem with it. Why do you think it sucks? Just the fact that you can install extensions on firefox (or fennec or mull) makes it by far the best browser in my opinion.
