    Brendan Eich is vocally against gay marriage, it’s not a secret. Also Brave is fuckin SKETCHY. They’ve always come up with “creative” ways of making money, sometimes inserting affiliate links into their users’ searches, sometimes selling their data, other times getting into weird crypto schemes.

    Every time somebody catches them doing something sketchy, they put out a big “OOPS SORRY THAT WAS AN ACCIDENT” statement, and their fanboys just forgive them and act like it’s no big deal. Then they troll Reddit (and now Lemmy) blindly repeating how great and privacy-focused Brave is.

    The only browser worth your time is Firefox. If you insist on sticking with a Chromium-based browser (which is most of them, including Brave), then Arc is pretty damn cool.

      Woah when were they caught selling user data, that would be a huge blow to them as a privacy focused browser that I’ve somehow never heard of.

      This right here. I am generally very open to new browsers and frankly I am okay with Edge and even chrome as long as their parent companies are open about what data they collect and how they use it. I just do not get the same thing with Brave, and the crypto link injection was the final nail for me. Their fan boys are a weird base.
