Brave is just too shady and I hate that it's considered a "privacy" browser by people who don't know better.
It's amazing how so few people seem to understand that Brave's entire business model is an extortion racket wrapped in a crypto scam.
Of course, both that and the new bullshit described in this article is all just par for the course from the guy who (a) inflicted the abomination that is Javascript upon the world, and (b) got booted from Mozilla for being a bigot.
I found the juxtaposition of your comment to the one below yours to be pretty funny.
I love how you added yellow border for clarity
(I've screenshotted lemmy comments before and it looks utterly confusing without border lol)
I have no idea how they developed such a following. They're shady AF.
Cryptobros who did a code camp and discovered their new brag
Well, it doesn't help that privacyguides.org lists both Brave browser and search as recommendations.
