I don't see any of this as legitimate reasons to stop using Brave.
yes the CEO donated $1k some 10 years ago to anti-LGBT stuff, and that's bad, but kinda small fries in the totality of factors.
ads. Firefox has ads and trackers just like Brave. You can disable them on either.
you can also disable crypto.
hijacking affiliate codes is unethical and should be stopped but don't actually affect me in any way.
What else ya got?
I mean, alright. But you could say "I don't care" about any infraction of freedom and/or trust. I trust software to not modify my intent, any software that does so without asking can not be trusted in any way.
Agree to disagree, I suppose. It's worth it for the comprehensive privacy features.
It's not actually that private, use librewolf if you want an actually private browser
I do. In fact I use 5 different browsers on a semi-regular basis. None of them are vanilla Firefox. Most of the "more private" browsers simply don't work on many pages.
