stop. with. the. brave. bullshit.
Brave is a cult.
Brave is specifically a crypto based advertising company cult
Crypto bros reskinned chrome, added some built in plugins, added their own crypto advertising tokens, and went all queerphobic.
Somehow a few very people decided to build their identity around this.
It was exposed so soon after it got popular, years ago, but people still act like it’s so private and secure in the year of our lord 2025. I’m inclined to believe it’s astroturfed.
Makes sense. Like only paid employees or dedicated cult members would produce such a recommendation chart. Brave Translate but no DeepL? Brave Talk but no Jitsi? Crazy.
hansoloIt seriously is. I see people on Privacy Guides and reddit that are adamant that it’s amazing, which can be easily tested to not be the case.
Even when stripped down and hardened, Brave isn’t magic, and reveals your canvas fingerprint data.
ritchieI’ve checked once on the fingerprint testing website how my firefox scores and brave just out the box scored way better. I have been considering to move to brave since then. Temporarily I settled on using firefox for casual web browsing and mullvad for shopping.
How’s LibreWolf or Mullvad against Brave? Firefox doesn’t have the best defaults.
