- Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.

- Bigotry will not be tolerated.
3. Post Linux-related content

Yeah, Iβve used websites like that. So I told Firefox to spoof my user agent to be chrome and now I just use those websites anyway.
Iβm not interested in handing my data over to Palantir any more than I am to Google, so Iβm not going to use Brave.
I do the same. Some websites will not work claiming Firefox is not supported, but do some user agent spoofing and suddenly it works just fine. Just goes to show it is not actually the web engine that's the problem.
What does Brave have to do with palantir? Have i missed something?
Peter Thiel has invested in Brave. He also owns Palantir, the biggest corporate espionage agency on the planet, which contracts with the Department of Defense to build the largest government surveillance network in history expressly for the purpose of tracking every American, and has used that network to hunt down immigrants for ICE.
Taking that all into account, I find it beyond belief that Brave isn't a part of that network, and I'm not interested in using it on the off chance that it isn't.
Thank you! And thank god, that i don't use it :D. So, I'm still staying with firefox.
Peter Thiel is a major backer of Brave. Additionally, Brave has done other scummy things, like injecting their own referral IDs on some pages and trading user user privacy for money by unblocking trackers from companies that pay them.
Thank you!
