It gets my goat that people think it’s a good option. There are plenty of articles explaining some of the many issues with it, but a few are:
- It’s run by anti-LGBTQ+ crypto bros.
- It has ads right out of the box.
- It collected donations towards people who never signed up for them - then held them to ransom in exchange for the kind of information you should never share on the Internet.
- They’re a for-profit advertising company. “Privacy-centric” my elbow.
Neither does Brave unless you specifically opt in to those services. It’s open source, you can check for yourself.
yeah a few of these where made opt in after the userbase backlashed when they made them opt out by default
they actually have a tendency of making changes this way, i don’t see why i should trust them with anything
