Absolutely not

Hell no lol

Nope. Iceraven or Firefox forks or just Firefox in general are the ones I use. Don't trust those guys either but at least it's better than everything else out there.

Never trusted them, they just feel like a Opera clone with a "crypto bro" mindset haha

As long it's open source and audited,i trust them.

Don’t trust Brave nor its conspiracy spreading, narrow-minded CEO Brendan Eich.

Nope

Lol fuck no 🤣🤣🤣

brave is like the mcafee of browsers Theoretically protects you, but there are much better options

No, I don't trust them. Their idea to replace people ad with their own ad (https://archive.is/W0k4j) and their experiment with cryptocoin are two of the biggest red flags.

Just use firefox instead of brave if you wanted a privacy respecting browser

I'm surprised that Vivaldi isn't more popular next to Brave tbh.

You get Chromium with a bunch of other features if you want them, but no crypto crap. They even run their own Mastodon instance with built-in functionality out of the box.

When I have to set up one of my not-so-privacy-conscius friends' system, I usually install Brave and turn most of the shit off. Not because it's the best choice out there, but because it basically doesn't have a learning curve for ex-chrome users and is still probably the best, when it comes to chromium-based browsers.

You lost me at brave Anyone even remotely accosiating with crypto, let alone making their own and integrating it, is not to be trusted.

There are many things to list but here is by favourite, they said you can tip creators with their garbage coin Turns out some creators did not apply, you could still donate, where did the money go? Sure as shit didnt to the creator

Brendan Eich is a little bitch.

No.

Overall, no. Compared to Apple, Google, and Microsoft? Yes.

Brave is (or at least, was) a good browser technically (as good as any Chromium implementation), at least while it still has the ability to turn off their crypto crap, the proxy/vpn integration and run a "clean" version, but I highly doubt those options will remain forever the way their wankbag of a CEO seems to want to go with it, he can not be trusted.

So no I cant say I trust them anymore, they will make money from you, in increasingly devious ways.

There are many, many better "Clean" browsers out there like Librewolf that are a better way to go.

I never trust a company that pretends to provide a browser that respects my privacy for free. "Free" and "privacy" are mutually exclusive in the corporate surveillance economy.

Why would I?

In order of trust I put it third for browsers that I expect to work with most of the internet. It goes Tor, Firefox, and finally Brave. I like Brave's direction and appreciate them trying to find ethical and sustainable funding models, but they're just not as heavily audited as the first two

I don't trust VPNs that I don't run, Tor is the answer here for me too. Search I am not sure how it compares to DDG tbh so no idea

In terms of level of trust, it's enough for a threat model that doesn't include state actors or any other APT, but nothing more. it shouldn't be ran with elevated privileges and should be sandboxed (i.e. flatpak) and if possible on a separate system from sensitive information. I could be convinced otherwise but I haven't seen a reputable organization discuss an audit of it's code nor have I audited it's code

Yes except for the VPN as I know nothing about it but that doesn't mean I'll go and blindly recommend any product they release, as with every other company I will read about the product as much as necessary to make an educated decision
