Ga> Hello all,
Ga>
Ga> Wondering if anyone is using the 'Brave' browser. Been seeing some
Ga> stories about it, and it claims to prioritize user privacy and do a
Ga> good job at ad-blocking. Installed it on my wife's Windows machine and
Ga> it seemed pretty decent. Thinking about trying it on Linux but wanted
Ga> to know if there are any first-hand experienced user stories on it.
� I avoid it like the plague for a few different reasons:
�
� 1. It's a Chromium fork, thus polluting the browser market with false choice
� 2. It's inextricably linked to cryptocurrency (specifically BAT)
� 3. It's run by outspoken anti-LGBTQIA+ activist Brendan Eich
�
� I currently use Floorp (a Firefox fork) with �Block Origin.
