Thank you for posting this! I had a vague recollection there was something scummy about Brave, and I was surprised to see it recommended in so many of the "Which browser should I use?" posts. It's really handy to have a chronical of bullshit like this to point to when it comes up

The crazy conspiracy guy I know uses Brave, so that already put me off.

What better chromium based browser is there?

Oh boy, I shared the spacebar news article a year ago or so and was hit by a shitstorm of indignant comments.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a browser to use on my iPhone other than Brave? I tried Firefox first, but evidently I can’t install extensions for ad blocking due to iPhone restrictions, so I’m using Brave on just this one device.
