Brave promotes a crypto scam and is run by a homophobe.

I mean idk if it's a scam but their crypto sure went down since the start and they're hiding this fact as much as they can

Except the google scan BS and their shitcoin, it's pretty good. Not the best, but probably better defaults than firefox

BAT is a scam because its value proposition is 100% bullshit. We already tried pay-to-surf in the 1990s and the problem was that it's a Turing test - not the payment mechanism.

It went down because it's a scam, not vice versa.
