I read the article.

But also I’m out of the lool on why ppl hate Brave. Can someone clue me in?

Is there a better cross-platform browser? I like to use the same one across devices.

I don’t have a strong opinion on brave, but here’s some reasons I can think of:

• cryptocoin shit
• based on chromium (so using this instead of firefox, for example, increases google’s hegemony – and this is true: even though chromium is open source, google completely controls its direction)
• CEO is a homophobe
• scammy business practices like inserting affiliate codes in urls

And this is just the stuff that I know from the top of my head. I don’t particularly care about this topic, so I’m sure there’s more. Although, having written all this out, I can sense that my opinion of Brave has worsened significantly.

Isn’t it open source ? Can someone build a fork with all of this shit removed ?
