Comment on Google Chrome’s plan to limit ad blocking extensions kicks off next week
Banzai51@midwest.social 4 weeks agoUse 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, 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.
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.
