Common folks you are supposed to use a Computer only to assist at your job.

If your going to use a chromium browser brave isn't the worst choice

Dude, this is a Firefox. Why tell us not use something what...95% of people here are not using in the first place?

EDIT: The crypto stuff is opt-in. You don’t have to use Brave Shields (in browser ad blocker). It can be turned off. Now you can use uBlock Origin or another ad blocker.

About the CEO, I can’t see nothing about his beliefs reflecting in his work. Looks like he kept them separated. I’m not for said beliefs.

EDIT 2: Also Brendan Eich is a co-founder of Mozilla. So if you're not going to use Brave because of him. How can you use Firefox?

[Eich] donated $1,000 in support of California's Proposition 8 in 2008, which was a proposed amendment to California's state constitution to ban same-sex marriage.

Even though I do not agree at all with the donation and support - out of the things that influence me into choosing a browser, 15 year-old private donations of appointed CEOs is pretty low on that list.

And the whole BAT thing is opt-in and they're very transparent about it. I don't get why people get so triggered when the C word - crypto - is involved.

Rehashed article, reposted on Lemmy. How about people stop telling others what browser to use and not to use?

Haters gonna hate. Make FF great again and people will start coming back. Seethe more, and more people will switch to Brave if they haven't yet.
