It gets my goat that people think it’s a good option. There are plenty of articles explaining some of the many issues with it, but a few are:

  1. It’s run by anti-LGBTQ+ crypto bros.
  2. It has ads right out of the box.
  3. It collected donations towards people who never signed up for them - then held them to ransom in exchange for the kind of information you should never share on the Internet.
  4. They’re a for-profit advertising company. “Privacy-centric” my elbow.

      Thats obscure information, too. It’s reasonable to not know.

      I draw the line when Brave’s awfulness is pointed out, linked, with alternatives presented, yet the Brave user digs in their heels and takes criticism of their browser choice personally. That is just ego.

      I recommend(ed) it so people have a mobile browser with functional adblock. I don’t need to research further to know it does that well, which frankly is all most people will care about.
