I think anyone who is already using Firefox knows very well why they wouldn’t want to use Brave 🤷 (My main reasons were being a Chromium browser and having unwanted crypto features included.)
Edit: Oh yes, and the CEO’s homophobia is not helping either…
Ah shit. Didn’t know about that. Uninstalling. Is there an iOS browser that will hide my device fingerprint other than Brave?
Tor Browser is available on iOS :) should be able to hide mostly everything lol
Do you have a source for the edit, please?
(…) anger over his $1,000 (£600) donation in 2008 to support Californian anti-gay marriage laws bubbled over when he was appointed chief executive.
Thanks
I use Brave for solely one purpose that I hope to see in Firefox one day. It’s the only app I’ve found that lets you locally download a web video and play it natively on CarPlay. I rarely use it, but it’s handy when I need it.
Do you often watch videos while driving? Or am I missing something?
Like I said, I’ve rarely used it. It’s a niche need, but Brave was the only app that did it when I wanted it.
I don’t get it, is Brave the player? There are no other video players that work in the car?
As of the last time I looked into it, there were no video players that worked natively in CarPlay. If you long press on a video in Brave, you can add it to your “Brave Playlist.” If you set the playlist to download locally, you can play it in the Brave app in CarPlay.
Carplay is an apple thing, so they should be speaking about some ios limitation
Daily reminder that Brave uses Chromium, an open source project where all the commits are approved or denied by Google devs.
I tried it a few years ago. Ditched it because it’s just another chromium browser.
Firefox has been my main for about 6 years now.
I fell for it because Al Swiegerts book: “Automate the boring stuff” used it in the webscrape sample.
After that I just kept using it. And felt justified in my choice when I realized the only other browsers left are chrome and Safari.
I just learned that Safari is a fork on Konquorer. So, that’s interesting.
Brave? The browser that hides ads and substitutes their own? The one that keeps you private from Google AdSense so they can sell your data themselves? The one that keeps their Chromium build lean, so that you don’t notice the crypto miner running along side of it?
The fucking PayPal Honey of browsers? When the fuck did they ever look good? They’re like the “Banzai Buddy” of the HTML5 era
CEO is a bigot, too.
No elaboration on that ?
I thought it was common knowledge; he donated to some anti-LGBTQ political campaigns in the US which ultimately lead him to resign from Mozilla and start up his own browser. Which is good enough reason in my opinion to avoid it regardless of what ever else might be good about Brave.
Thanks for elaborating & you were kind enough to inform (unlike the fascist guttrotten clowns who disliked)
They managed to piss off Tom Scott.
A thing I had not previously considered was possible.
Wait what? Imma need to see that
Their “Tip Me” system was opt-out.
In other words, they’d slap a “give this person money” button on other people’s websites, and then collect the money themselves, and even if they did send along every last cent to the actual person, that’s pretty well fucked.
What a pile of steaming bullshit
Hahahhaah. If they are so desperate they are trying to knock off the 10 or so users on Firefox they must really be in dire straights.
Chromium?
No-ium
Brave has never had a good look.
I dont like brave for other reasons, but this is definitely a good look. Tor Browser has to patch a lot of issues to make Firefox safe
What makes you think that there wouldn’t be even more problems in a Chromium-based browser?
For example: https://gitlab.torproject.org/legacy/trac/-/wikis/doc/TorButtonChrome
To my knowledge, the Tor-mode in Brave is generally considered actively misleading, because it does not provide the protections of Tor.
Its safe without tors changes, those are to make it anonymous, which neither brave nor chrome do.
One feels there is an allegory for “too stupid to be afraid” buried in here.
Brave? You mean “browser for bigots”?
i had no idea…
Two of the reasons I’d never use it. The other is not wanting to support the Google monopoly.
Meh, they can shoot at Firefox if they want, but it’s actually pretty good marketing for the Fox.
I think many people will still not understand what does the “fox” means in the title
Probably not, but it’s free marketing. Some will get it. Some will think about it. Next time they see Firefox, some will add two and two together. The rest will be lost.
Forget the Lion
Wasn’t brave the crypto mining browser? I remember there was some scandal with brave
I never liked or trusted Brave for what it claims it fights for
