Brave? Please educate yourself and stop using that piece of garbage.

Edit: If you can’t switch to Firefox and you’re looking for a good alternative that’s privacy-focused and functionally similar, take a look at Vivaldi. Solid chrome-based browser.

I wouldn't call Vivaldi 'a good alternative'.
brave at least has cared about maintaining their source code on github. Vivaldi, on the other hand, just [vomits tar.xz on their website]https://vivaldi.com/source/) and that's it. they also have made ui closed source.
they don't have an opt-out for their data collection.

I personally use nothing expect librewolf(hardened Firefox fork). but brave is a sane choice for those who are spoiled by chrome.
the only praise I hear about Vivaldi is their tabs(?).

Most of the article talks about the CEO and the company, the only criticisms of the actual product (the browser) is that it's bloated, which is very subjective because one mans bloat is another mans feature and the affiliate link injection scandal from 4 years ago, which definitely shouldn't have been done but at least it wasn't malicious and now is gone.

To be honest I think people on here dislike brave primarily due to ideological reasons, completely ignoring the fact that 99.9% of people aren't hackermans™ and don't want to install gnu icecat or librewolf with 7 different extensions. For those people it's either chrome/edge or brave, the latter, even if not perfect is a way better option both for them and the internet.
