    “If someone recommends Brave to you, you should ignore them, because they are wrong.”


    I stopped reading here. If you would like to present objective technical arguments, please try not to sound like a 5 year old “I’m right, you’re wrong, blah blah”.

    Use Brave or use Firefox. They both work great for privacy, but I find Brave is easier to configure to be private.

      Or if you don’t like the article, check up on it from other sources instead of burying your head in the sand?

      Edit: a word

      Ah yes let’s ignore everyone that challenges our own opinions because that’s the best way to never be wrong and always feel safe.

        When is the last time you saw a thesis that began with "you should ignore them, because they are wrong.”

        He had a great opportunity and lots of eyes here from people who use brave to show them how it’s problematic. He started his opinion article with nu’uhhhhhh

        Compelling summary: “You’ve been hearing a lot about Brave, maybe you use it yourself, you should look into the company you’re supporting and how they’re turning their back on you before you continue”

        Start with privacy issues with tor

        Show a historical track record of illegal action add swapping and referrer swapping

        Show their shady crypto currency issues. trading out FTX for their own stuff, the FTC/SEC looking into them selling their coin as a security.

        Show the CEO is a horrible person.

        Make the case that their going to sell your data more unscrupulously than Google or Microsoft.

        But no, he’s a horrible journalist that can’t manage to put the critical points first.
