Was reading an answer to the question about fresh Amazon tablet and saw this. Pretty sure I’m avoiding Brave from now on.

Q: Does the fire max 11 have YouTube app on it. A: I have installed Google Playstore , but I skip installing Youtube app . There is better option . Brave Browser in Playstore !! That thing has AWESOME popup Blocker and it’s own integrated Youtube Ads and other Nuisances blocker . My point ? You don’t need youtube on Fire max , You don’t need Google Maps , You don’t need Facebook App . Just Use Brave .

    They were using crypto miners in Brave (now it’s just opt-out optional I think), altering search result’s, and also something about their CEO being a weirdo I think. And also all this dirty advertising and tactics. They’re just shady all around.

      There was never a miner in Brave. Their legitimate crypto related features have always been optional. They did add referal links in some urls though

        There you go, and that’s why nobody should believe the commenter you replied to without him providing sources. Shame 10 people already agreed with him.

      Huh? They have a crypto service that you can easily opt out of.

      altering search result’s

      …they have their own search engine they built from scratch. So yeah.

      also something about their CEO being a weirdo I think

      I love weirdos

      And also all this dirty advertising and tactic

      This is an incredibly generic complaint

      Maybe people “don’t listen” because you’re full of crap.
