      I already upgraded to Brave years ago. Thanks. And fuck Mozilla.

          Yeah, no. Too much disregard for the community and useless political crap, apart from hypocrisy on their fake anti-Google stance.

          If anything, they’re worse.

          1. Brave is an advertising company, that blocks everyone, but them. Forcing over people and companies into their system.
          2. They’re heavily in the blockchain ecosystem, with their own worthless crypto.
          3. They take from open source projects (uBlock, Chromium, etc), but threaten legal action when someone forks them.
          4. They install bloat/spyware on your Windows system (later claimed it was a mistake).
          5. Brave, and its CEO is right-wing, lobbying against things like same-sex marriage.

          I could go on.

            Don’t forget the worst most condescending people working for Brave. I actually had one of their people antagonize me on social media years ago for not liking their invasive homepage at the time.

            1. You can turn off Brave Shields (in browser ad blocker).
            2. The crypto stuff is opt-in.
            3. [citation needed] I’m talking about the legal action stuff. Fun fact, Gab made a Brave fork called Dissenter. Nothing happened to them.
            4. Yeah, Brave VPN is BS.
            5. About Brendan Eich, I can’t see nothing about his beliefs reflecting in his work. Looks like he kept them separated. Also he’s a co-founder of Mozilla. So if you’re not going to use Brave because of him. How can you use Firefox? About Brave lobbying against things like same-sex marriage. Will, [citation needed].

            If you need Chromium browser. Just use ungoogled-chromium, Windows version.
