    You can just not use their crypto?

      You can just use a firefox derivative or even a different chromium derivative?

      You can also not just look at the ad.

        You could just let people make their own decisions without being a giant cunt about it?

  Or, y’know, an open source browser that isn’t a slop machine run by a creep. Seriously, why the heck do people keep recommending brave?

    It’s funny seeing the massive divide between Lemmy and Reddit on Brave. On Reddit, Brave is continuously praised as the go-to browser because they ran a massive astroturfed campaign and got a bunch of redditors to switch. But on Lemmy (where they never ran that astroturfing) Brave is pretty widely hated.

    You can always tell when someone is a recent Reddit refugee, because they’ll mention Brave and immediately get shouted down. And sure enough, the person’s account is only like a day old.

      How recent is this history. Because I remember many years back now something like an AMA or some other post by the CEO of Brave, promoting it ahead of it being released I think and getting a pretty frosty reception on Reddit once people asked a bit more about how it was supposed to work. As time went on the reception seemed only to get worse as rumours spread of crypto scams and dodginess and even just on a basic level, questions of “why would we use this when we could just use Firefox with an ad blocker?”

      I get the impression though that Reddit has been changing.

      Ignore my previous comment, you seem perfectly matched to the brave browser.

  Brave browser is poor man’s attempt at firefox, motivated by homophobia (literally)

      Bruh I toggled off literally all existing and future AI features with a single toggle on FF, they still need to be opted out one by one on Brave 😭

        Sorry bro - I got a little worked up in my work stress. You didn’t deserve my fuck ass response.
