Stop using Brave Browser - Lemmy

if you useanything alphabet like chromium, then YOU are the problem.

I think it’s pretty unfair to put all of the blame on everyone who uses a chromium browser, considering that most people with a computer have no idea what the hell you are talking about.

Google Chrome is the single most popular web browser. Everyone’s work uses it, everyone’s school uses it, why would they possibly question it? And then they discover a new browser someone recommended - why would they look into “chromium” and what it all means? It’s just not reasonable to expect of nearly the entire population at this stage.

Take your anger out on the company and educate people.

This is true, and there are people who are required to use it at work due to bad and outdated policies, but I do think it’s fair to say of anyone who does know better yet stubbornly persists in using Brave or Chrome.

I have seen people reply that they don’t care if they’re supporting an untrustworthy homophobic cryptobro because “everything is bad” or something like that. Those people are part of the problem. We’re spiraling toward a situation where internet is the new cable TV, under full control of two colossal corporate entities (Google and Microsoft), and I think it’s fair to expect more from those of us who do know better, but stubbornly persist for whatever reason.

I work for a large agency of the US government. We get the “choice” between chrome and edge.

I’ve worked for a similar employer! I’m supposed to use Chrome at my current employer, and it sucks. Zoom, too.

I’m sure part of it is that I’m just used to Firefox, but I don’t know how people choose to use Chrome. All of its “features” are creepy and stalkerish.
