    Use Firefox. The crypto bros running Brave have been caught multiple times gathering and selling user data. You use Chrome as the base when you want to hoover data.

      False.

      They sold data from Brave search, which you don’t have to use. (and I don’t.)

      Also, the crypto thing is also opt-in. You don’t have to use it either.

      It works better than Firefox, especially if your aim is blocking ads.

        “I trust these guys to not sell my data because they’ve only sold me data over there” is a hell of a take.

        Someone has their identity tied up in this for some reason

          I think that, if you’re going to pretend to know what you’re talking about, you should know what you’re talking about.

          I think it’s a good thing that a person as to willingly opt-in to data collection.

          It’s really that simple.

            They still sold user data without being upfront about it until caught, and are still running a shady-ass business. They’re at the intersection of crypto, bigotry, and dishonesty.

            Not using or advocating for Brave is pretty simple.

              They still sold user data without being upfront about it until caught,

              And then they did better, as a business should. It’s all in their FAQ.

              I’m not sure why there has to be a circle jerk of trolls any time someone mentions Brave, but here we are.

                How much of a corporate shill are you? Do you own the company or something? Be open minded and try other things. Don’t be a corporate drone. Don’t defend the corporate doing as right , defend your interests first.
