        Chromium is absolutely massive, and it’s very hard to be sure all the nasty Google telemetry has been ripped out.

        Brave is also run by crypto shills, and they were caught auto-editing URLs to be referral links (!) a while back.

          Aside from it being made by Google, it supports a monoculture/monopoly in browsing. We’ve been down the path before. It isn’t good. Even if you are using Brave, you are still supporting the Blink monopoly.

        https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eA8O97U1Pbc but also the “crypto crap” is very controversial, and settings are not synced properly when using Brave sync? For some reason, when I had to distrohop and I had my settings synced, I never got the crypto crap disabled automatically. And I had to redo a lot of my front page settings, every. single. time. That’s what I don’t like about it. But my opinion is my own, and I myself use Vivaldi because I’m a customisation freak and Firefox doesn’t cut it for me.
