Brave browser is a litmus test.
Always has been. I considered anyone who used it slightly sus until further proof. And if they basically advertised it, I considered them too far gone to try anything else.
It's a bloody web browser.
How many people do you think actually sit down and do in depth research and analysis into the CEO's personal beliefs, employment history, and associations before deciding which piece of software they'll use to look at cat pictures?
When it's owned and operated by a literal open bigot and the fact it only became popular after the bigot was removed from his office chair because of it, I have every reason to question why someone uses a browser that promotes crypto, and steals from the content creators it said it funds.
