I'll never understand the normies that use Brave. They're like "it keeps my data private" blah blah blah. Don't trust nothing unless you can see it's code. Also really irritates me when they start recommending it to other uneducated people.

How about no ads? Once you force ads into something I use or make it impossible for me to block them, it is time to find an alternative.

They are pretty toxic, it seems. I was told to "go back to firefox, they are wokies like you". And a couple other comments from brave's fan base.

Although I thought the same, you can just disable them

They probably don't even mind youtube ads, they just want to be part of "the next big thing"

Lol. Probably Brave users think they gonna be rich by earning tokens for ads :) brave just uses peoples greed

this, it's a cryptomoney scheme. They need to promote Brave in order to increase the value of the cryptomoney token. There's also an affiliate referral link program I've seen spammed a couple of times
