You should always have three browsers, imho. I use Firefox, Tor, and Brave as my three. Firefox's addon ecosystem is great, and I can use it easily on all the computers I touch. Brave helps me when I need "Chrome" for something to work, but the browser is fairly slick imho, plus exists as a financially independent competitor to Chrome, unlike Firefox. Lastly, Tor is for when using Tor through Brave or using it through transparent proxy isn't enough, and I am worrying about fingerprinting as well.

The author of the article has some personal issues it seems, article is more of a rant. I like brave as an alternative browser.

Bottom line is it is a good browser and faster than most if not all the others I have tried. Certainly faster than Firefox and Mullvad. If you don't like the add's turn them off. If you dont like the wallet and other stuff, dont use them. It is easy to ignore that stuff. Nothing in that article makes me want to stop using it.

You're about to make a lot of enemies 😂

Last time someone posted this stupid fucking article up on a different tech lemmy I got into it with some single brain cells morons.

It's open source tech. You could fork the entire thing if you didn't like the CEO. Who cares.

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

Who cares, it's a browser...use whatever you like.

Mozilla wants to censor and cancel people, harder. And Google is the king of censorship.

I'm going to stick with Brave.

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.

I disagree with the article. It appears to make two points, both don't convice me.

The first one is about a political donation made by the founder 15 years ago to the tune of 1000 USD. It was against gay marriage. While I somewhat support gay marriage, I find it totally acceptable to be opposed to it. It depends on what marriage means, and people don't agree on that. For some people it just means a strong bond, stronger than a normal relationship. With this definition, gay marriage isn't an issue.

But to other people marriage is an envelope that's supposed to foster reproduction and family building. With this definition gay marriage isn't exactly straightforward. Neither should it be for people with fertility problems and women over 50 in general. Are convervatives also against that? I guess they should. Whatever. I started off thinking I could defend the stance, now i don't think i did. Either way, ditch a browser over this nonsense?

And if Tim Berners Lee spews some BS, will you stop using the Internet? Or if your country elects a stupid president, will you boycott the country and leave temporatily?

The other issue is what Brave does with ads. While I agree it is imperfect, I think in general the approach is among the better ones around.
