    I never understood why so many “privacy focused” lists mark them as the top browser choice. Their company track record seems spotty at best.

    It is wild to me that Brave still maintains such a highly regarded position amongst privacy “enthusiasts” and websites. The godawful news about the browser, its company, and the CEO has been constant since the day it was first announced and it’s clear as water that the browser is not private nor even remotely ethical. Far as I am concerned, it should have faded from the public conscious back when they were injecting their crypto referrals to skim money without you knowing. Or all the times the CEO opened his mouth and revealed that he is a supreme piece of shit.

    And even if it was private, just the fact that it’s yet another Chromium browser is a total non-starter for me. I am so sick and tired of the ocean of alternative browsers that directly or indirectly support Google’s browser monopoly, often while proclaiming they are a great Chrome alternative.

    is there any android browser that isn’t abysmal? firefox is miserable on android and its only saving grace is ublock origin. and Cambridge analytica’s analysis only references the brave and network and other services they host and how those can collect behavioral data, and you can just…not use them.
