Was reading an answer to the question about fresh Amazon tablet and saw this. They used up the question as a hook to promote their browser. Pretty sure I'm avoiding Brave from now on.
Q: Does the fire max 11 have YouTube app on it. A: I have installed Google Playstore , but I skip installing Youtube app . There is better option . Brave Browser in Playstore !! That thing has AWESOME popup Blocker and it's own integrated Youtube Ads and other Nuisances blocker . My point ? You don't need youtube on Fire max , You don't need Google Maps , You don't need Facebook App . Just Use Brave .
I really doubt that is marketing. I just think that’s an over-enthusiastic user.
agree, it's just a dude saying that he likes the built-in ad blocker. I do this with youtube on my smartphone too.
Wait till you hear about revanced
Edit: fixed spelling
Wait til you hear about LibreTube
Idk, sound like a paid comment to me.
Brave and Opera GX both have lots of fanboys
It's not even a comment, it's an answer to an Q&A on amazon, I'm sure there are more efficient ways to advertise a browser.
You're paranoid, mate
I shill brave on iOS regularly as a way to get past ads on mobile and watch with background playback. But that’s more because of how much I hate ads than any loyalty to brave. I highly doubt they’re paying for the kind of low quality shilling this guy is doing on Amazon. If they are, they can start paying me as well!
if you're interested in alternatives with adblockers:
For iOS there is the Orion Browser. Its a privacy based fork of Safari for iOS and macOS, with built in ad-block, anti-fingerprinting, and supports background and PiP youtube. I use it as my default browser on iOS and Mac.
Its built on webkit, just like Firefox on iOS, but supports both Firefox and Chrome extensions. And their CEO isn’t a crypto shill or anti-lgbtq.
Interesting. Are they open source too or a private company like Brave?
They are currently closed source like Brave for now but it’s a relatively new browser and still technically open beta (I’m on 0.99.124.4.1).
They say they are working on going open source. However their Github seems to currently get infrequent updates.
Perhaps you sound like a FireFox or otherwise Anti-Brave shill
Touche
I love this reply
Wow wow, slow down dude, now you sound like a Brave shill yourself.
That was the point he was making. Who knows. I agree though sounds like some kid who just discovered an app he likes and is spamming it everywhere. Sadly most marketing is hard to discover.
I could see myself doing that tbh, but for other things. There's always this urge to promote the less well known stuff. It just depends on when you're in the mood to actually type it out.
It’s brave shills all the way down
Do you really think that amazon questions is a place ada would be put into? Not for something sold on Amazon mind you, but a browser!
You're insane.
Aren't we all?
No. I mean, I am, but not everyone.
Yeah I agree. I am too, insane. But not everyone.
I could have written that if I wrote like I was 14. Definitely out here shilling brave. Try it out if you haven’t.
I'm honestly a bit surprised their comment doesn't contain the user's affiliate links. "Over-enthusiastic" users used to spam theirs everywhere.
