Brendan is quick to act when it comes to $$$$.. and anti LGBT law
Can you expand on the LGBT comment? I'm looking for a new browser and an anti LGBT organization would be a deal breaker for me.
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.
The only thing I really found, based on a Google search, is that they sold copyrighted data to train AI models. Still bad, but for completely different reasons and that's a bigger fish than just brave.
But maybe I didn't find what the other commenter was thinking of.
Lol so it literally never happened. I guess it's true that the biggest source of misinformation is random people on the internet.
