I’m going to paste a reply I got in regards to Brave and why you should change to a different browser
just let people do whatever they want, wtf is wrong with you people
It’s still better than using Google / Edge, and it’s basically the only good chromium alternative to the aforementioned browsers - reminder that stock chromium is not good.
Beside, you forgot the most important point: they further the chromium monopoly, which while the engine is open source its codebase is too big so it is basically controlled by google
Nitpicks:
Brave is an advertising company, that blocks everyone, but them. Forcing over people and companies into their system.
You can disable all the ads.
They’re heavily in the blockchain ecosystem, with their own worthless crypto.
Depending on whom you ask, it’s a pro or a cons.
Brave, and its CEO is right-wing, lobbying against things like same-sex marriage.
