It’s always funny seeing the huge disconnect between Lemmy and Reddit on this one specific topic. On Reddit, Brave’s marketing was wildly successful. If you say anything negative about it, you’ll almost immediately be buried in downvotes. But here, it is known as a conservative cryptobro grift, so mentioning anything positive about it gets you attacked.
I always assume the Brave proponents on Lemmy are recent Reddit transplants.
the moment that Brave stops working well is the moment I stop praising it.
unlike chrome and firefox, it’s easy to turn off the crap in brave, the options to turn those things off are right in plain sight and easy to figure out
I’m not so sure how politics got into a web browser with integrated adblocking though. Supposedly the creator of Brave was fired from mozilla for being a bigot. But no one who says that has ever been able to tell me what he said that was so horrible that he had to be fired. Which leads me to believe it’s either a flat out lie that didn’t happen at all or it was blown out of proportion
on top of that, Google’s war on adblockers is more than just blocking you from accessing youtube, there’s also lots of google-funded propaganda about the makers of adblocking software and the software its self. But it’s not just google funding that kind of propaganda it’s all the other malware companies funding it too.
what do I mean by “malware companies”? all online advertising is malware and blocking it should be considered part of any security setup
