If you reach 20 companies that aren’t ad-centric for-profit companies you can qualify for the false equivalency pro-league.
It’s up there with mental gymnastics in the bad-faith Olympics, a lofty achievement.
well. i’ll give you ad-guard , canonical is also making great strides towards ad-centric so that one too.
Yeah I don’t get the hate. I don’t use it personally but it seems like a much better choice than chrome
Because if the long history of controversies:

Even if it was somehow fine now, I wouldn’t touch it with a ten foot pole. TBH I’d use Edge before Brave, even on Linux.
Anything can have a long list of controversies if you cherry pick
Friend, why are you so intent on sticking to Brave?
Trying another browser that doesnt have a long list of “cherry picked” controversies takes like a few seconds. What’s the downside to that?
I agree. GrapheneOS uses chromium for Vanadium as it has far superior sandboxing to firefox, meaning it has more security. However vanadium doesn’t have adblocking.
So I use brave on mobile, with some settings tweaked recommended by privacyguides.org. Also brave uses chromium which is the only way to install grapheneOS in the first place, on desktop.
Also out of the mainstream browsers brave is far superior to all of them out of the box, even firefox, for those who arne’t into researching the perfect browser. It has in built adblocking and decent default settings. I use librewolf 99% of the time.
