This really sums up everything I felt while reading it.
I'm still using it and Firefox in lieu of Chrome
Brave + Privacy badger has the only working fingerprint reduction (https://coveryourtracks.eff.org/) I can find. So I know brave is tracking me, but all the sites I visit had a hard time doing so if I don't log in.
I use IPFS quite a bit and I really like that it's integrated without me having to install Kubo everywhere. I tried the companion in FF but it still opens ipfs:// in brave.
The CEO is a piece of crap. That seems pretty average IMO.
They'll sell my data. Anyone that can fingerprint me will do the same. I have one smallish company selling my data instead of google or Microsoft.
They have previously done shitty things and they have put in too many fake features in the name of privacy like a half assed TOR implementation.
I'm not against trying other things. but every time someone says OMG BRAVE IS THE WORST. It ends up with a very slight Utility > Evil function for me.
