Edit: If you can’t switch to Firefox and you’re looking for a good alternative that’s privacy-focused and functionally similar, take a look at Vivaldi. Solid chrome-based browser.
Most of the article talks about the CEO and the company, the only criticisms of the actual product (the browser) is that it’s bloated, which is very subjective because one mans bloat is another mans feature and the affiliate link injection scandal from 4 years ago, which definitely shouldn’t have been done but at least it wasn’t malicious and now is gone.
To be honest I think people on here dislike brave primarily due to ideological reasons, completely ignoring the fact that 99.9% of people aren’t hackermans™ and don’t want to install gnu icecat or librewolf with 7 different extensions. For those people it’s either chrome/edge or brave, the latter, even if not perfect is a way better option both for them and the internet.
Ahem. I was referring to “Adblock” as a class of software, not referring to one specific program (the same way that websites refer to blocking ads as “Adblock”).
Remember kids, adblock stops more than just the ads you see.
Also, fuck yeah I’d download a chicken tender.
ublock origin, adguard and brave’s adblocking are way better than the “adblock” extension.
Brave? Please educate yourself and stop using that piece of garbage.
What’s wrong with brave?
