Any minute now one of those brave-browser idiots will be along to tell us all how great ads are because they can make us aware of products that we had not yet discovered or remind us of products we didn't know were near by.
What does this have to do with brave-browser users?
Brave derives revenue from advertising.
Brave devotees are the only people I've ever seen defending advertising as a user friendly revenue model.
I had no idea lol I use brave just to avoid ads which is why I'm confused.
Brave is involved in a crypto scam and is backed by conservative evil fuck Peter thiel
Thanks for the heads up.
I'd suggest you change to Firefox, but they have made some... troubling changes to their privacy policy recently, so it may be a good idea to use a debranded port of it instead.
Afaik that's mostly FUD and was debunked.
I'm still not happy with Mozilla throwing money down the AI toilet.
If there was a debunking, I'd love to see that. I know Mozilla spun some damage control talking about how the change in terms didn't really mean anything and was strictly for legal compliance, but, well, I've heard that one before.
I've seen no debunking. Have you got a link for that?
Not saying you're wrong, just that I've not seen it :)

you have 48 hours to uninstall brave or you will be thoroughly cancelled.
on lemmy, using the browser you are currently using is tantamount to getting a maga tattoo
you may delay the cancellation by 24 hours by promoting your affinity for linux installs, or swearing that you will switch to a non USA produced kind of ketchup
also, no nicole for you until you reform from your evil ways
I thought Nicole and me had something special!
Downvoters don’t get the joke!
Brave is a series scam company.
