Was reading an answer to the question about fresh Amazon tablet and saw this. They used up the question as a hook to promote their browser. Pretty sure I'm avoiding Brave from now on.

Q: Does the fire max 11 have YouTube app on it. A: I have installed Google Playstore , but I skip installing Youtube app . There is better option . Brave Browser in Playstore !! That thing has AWESOME popup Blocker and it's own integrated Youtube Ads and other Nuisances blocker . My point ? You don't need youtube on Fire max , You don't need Google Maps , You don't need Facebook App . Just Use Brave .

Is this post paid marketing for Brave browser?

tbh one only uses the youtube app if they're either ignorant or desperate

What is wrong with the app?

I'll agree with that lol. Although I do pay for a YouTube premium, I like YT.music algorithm better than Spotify and not having ads on videos is just a nice bonus. So I do use yt app, as well as newpipe and smarttubenext because yt app is missing some features.

I think the YouTube app is really nice with revanced patches applied. What am I ignorant of?

People realising apps are just websites in wrappers.

Vele apps hebben geen bestaansrecht, maar op een bepaald moment in het verleden zijn ontwikkelaars hun websites toch als apps gaan beginnen verpakken.

It replaces Facebook AND has integrated youtube ads? I'm there

I use Brave and Nord VPN. Am I going to die?

Brave is a shit company, but I'd still take it over Google if those were the only two choices available. So yes even if it's an ad... It's not wrong.

If only there were better options...
