minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink27•2 years agoMy view: Brave browser is a pretty useless Chrome reskin with crypto ads attached. Brave search is a pretty new and exciting alternative to Google.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink16•2 years agoThe crypto bit alone makes the browser super-sketchy. By now, I think everybody has realized crypto is a giant scam.
minus-squareFarLine99OPlinkfedilinkEnglish3•edit-22 years agoIt has very good ad blocker / fingerprinting protection out of the box. Pretty useful! Brave Search is definetly exciting with it’s own index, pretty good results and AI summarizer.
minus-squareKatoslink1•edit-22 years agoThe point of web diversity is to allow people to use what browser they want. If you like Firefox use it, if someone else wants to use Brave, let them. Brave is not a bad browser, turn on what you want, turn off what you don’t. The idea that there must be a right and wrong is stupid. To write off an entire browser because of one person at the company doesn’t really make sense. To write it off because “it’s chromium” is also a problem because they don’t support chrome decisions and are not applying their trash to it. To write it off because crypto is attached is ignorant because you’re welcome to just turn those features off.
