This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Who cares? As liberal I'm sick of the mellow-dramatic outrage culture. People aren't perfect. Who knew? If you don't use brave what's the alternative? Google, who is much worse? Maybe "don't let perfect be the enemy of good" and stop using the lefts social capital to alien people over small personal gripes.
I notice people who write these types of articles never open themselves to the same sort of scrutiny.
I can't think of a reason why anyone would use a browser other than Firefox and its forks.
Right we shouldn't use brave because CEO donated $1000 to some law author doesn't like. Maybe we should leave lemmy too because creators believe in things most other people don't like. These kind of morality plays are stupid, who knows what every devs and ceo of company actually think and do with their money and honestly if it's legal who cares.
Yandex is working so nicely for me lately--even better than Firefox. I think any possible spying by Russian capitalists or government will have little to no effect on my life.
"The Brave web browser has carved out a niche over the past few years as an alternative to Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and other mainstream web browsers." Excellent article my only criticism is that firefox is not a mainstream browser lol. Im saying this as a proud firefox user.
The points in this article have nothing to do with the actual browser. For the record I use Firefox, librewolf, and brave
Some sites are broken with a Firefox base.
the founder is controversial. so what? Does the product render pages with pretty good fingerprint blocking? Yes
crypto exchanges are under scrutiny and brave uses crypto. so what? does the product render pages with decent cross tracking isolation? Yes
their crypto has little value and was a failed experiment so what? Does the browser remove ads? Yes
If you're going to write about how something sucks, talk about it with substance, point out code that does XYZ to confirm negative statements.
What's the deal with the founder ? If my browser is good I couldn't care less if it's made by Hitler himself.
