If you are keen on personal privacy, you might have come across Brave Browser. Brave is a Chromium-based browser that promises to deliver privacy with built-in ad-blocking and content-blocking protection. It also offers several quality-of-life features and services, like a VPN and Tor access. I mean, it's even listed on the reputable PrivacyTools website. Why am I telling you to steer clear of this browser, then?

The CEO of brave is a homophobic bigot if that helps push anyone over the edge for changing their browser. It was the last straw for me.

That pretty much does it, yes. Staying away from brave.

Edit: that Netscape team, holy fuck, Andreesen also came from that cesspool, what a fucking drudge of parasites.

You do know that Firefox is essentially Netscape rebooted, right?

Also I don't really know what you are trying to say here. Netscape was definitely a better option than Internet Explorer.
