I have seen many people in this community either talking about switching to Brave, or people who are actively using Brave. I would like to remind people that Brave browser (and by extension their search engine) is not privacy-centric whatsoever.
Brave was already ousted as spyware in the past and the company has made many decisions that are questionable at best. For example, Brave made a cryptocurrency which they then added to a rewards program that is built into the browser to encourage you to enable ads that are controlled by Brave.
After creating this cryptocurrency and rewards program, they started inserting affiliate codes into URL’s. Prior to this they had faked fundraising for popular social media creators.
Do these decisions seem like ones a company that cares about their users (and by extension their privacy) would make? I’d say the answer is a very clear no.
One last thing, Brave illegally promoted an eToro affiliate program, making (presumably) thousands of dollars off their users.
Let’s be real here for just a minute. The only actual reason people here hate Brave is because the founder personally believes in traditional marriage.
Nah, I hate brave too, for multiple reasons behind those listed here.
Didn’t even know the founder had any beliefs about anything, and don’t really care.
You’re the only one who believes your bullshit. You aren’t fooling anyone, or being sneaky. Everyone is very well aware of what you’re actually saying.
I hate Brave because of the reasons I listed in the post (among other things). Sure the CEO is an ass but the software also sucks.
