Literally nothing will get me to use this crypto scam of a browser.

Brave's CEO is a homophobic Trump supporter. No thanks.

That’s not even the worst thing about him. He also invented JavaScript.

[-] Quibblekrust@thelemmy.club 27 points 3 weeks ago

He invented JavaScript, so definitely don't use that either. For real. JavaScript sucks.

[-] bier@feddit.nl 19 points 3 weeks ago

I used to hate JS but barley had used it. Now I use it on a daily base and hate it even more.

[-] nao@sh.itjust.works 8 points 3 weeks ago

JS is difficult to avoid. Brave is easy to avoid, just use another browser.

Running Linux would block this feature too.

Just reason sayin.

[-] LadyAutumn@lemmy.blahaj.zone 24 points 3 weeks ago

Switching to Linux made me like computers again. Switching to Hyprland made me love computers again.

Switching to TempleOS made me hear the voices again.

Switching to Hannah Montana Linux made me hear The Best of Both Worlds again.

Unfortunately that would involve using the Brave browser, which is an antifeature in itself.

[-] SpaceScotsman@startrek.website 49 points 3 weeks ago

They haven't blocked the windows feature, they're using DRM to interfere with it. Microsoft could easily change how the DRM works any time they want, rendering all these hacks useless.

"Feature"

[-] rozodru@lemmy.world 25 points 3 weeks ago

yeah, no, i'm not using your shitty browser.

[-] vzqq@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 3 weeks ago

But it’s funded by an unrepentant homophobe! How can you pass on that?!

A device that surreptitiously gathers information on a target is called a bug, not a feature.

[-] jjlinux@lemmy.ml 8 points 3 weeks ago

It's not a bug, it's a feature we don't like 🤣

The sad thing is that you now have to protect yourself against the OS you are using. Feels a bit like in the movie TRON.

[-] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 10 points 3 weeks ago

I don't, my OS doesn't come with any nonsense.

Sometimes bad people do good things.

[-] Flukas88@feddit.it 9 points 3 weeks ago

Very brave of them.

[-] Capricorn_Geriatric@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago

What a title. Made me think installing the browser blocked the feature machine-wide.

[-] Sylvartas@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 3 weeks ago

Oh so they're just doing whatever Firefox is doing in private mode on Android that makes screenshots all black
