Brave has plenty of problems and chromium base is only one of them, here’s some easy examples from recent history:

The issue came to widespread attention yesterday, when Twitter user @Cryptonator1337 pointed out that Brave Browser auto-filled a referral code to the end of the web address when “binance.us” is typed into the address bar. Binance is a cryptocurrency trading website, and with that referral code, Brave Software could earn 20% from trading fees for every account created using the link.

Key Takeaways

  • Brave browser reportedly redirected its users to the company’s own referral links when navigating to different platforms such as Binance, Coinbase, and others.
  • Following the incident, the price of Basic Attention Token plummeted over 6%. 
  • But over the last few hours, the bulls appear to have stepped in, signaling that BAT is poised for further gains.

While we’re at it fuck every chromium-based browser. Just helping google conquer the internet that much faster.
