content: Yet again more Brave shilling going on. I'll post this pasta again: Let's see what people like about Brave:  blocks intrusive ads  With Brave's ad-blocker hard-coded into the browser, this translates to "blocks ads from advertisers that didn't pay to get on Brave's whitelist". It's literally Adblock-Plus-tier trash.  muh cryptocurrency  https://twitter.com/tomscott/status/1076160882873380870  but it gives the finger to Google, right?  No. You are contributing to Google's monopoly by using chromium forks, which is a very bad thing for the Internet in general. A private advertising company dictating web standards will be the end of the internet as you know it. We have to ask ourselves: how does brave pull a profit again? Oh, that's right. Ads. Now, sure, brave makes sure these ads are "safe," and will "pay" you 70% of what they get paid (in their own bit-currency, which you have no way to cash out, and can only donate to others [and if you donate to someone who doesn't have the wallet, after 30 days the currency goes back to brave]). But in order to track your payments, Brave is gonna have to track you, and track whether you have the adblocker on or off. The fact that this isn't shared with the advertisers is irrelevant in terms of your privacy. Brave is a botnet by design. Brave is an advertising company, NOT a browser company. You are their product just as much as you would be Chrome's product. End of story: Brave is NOT your friend and they do not have your interests in mind.
