    I absolutely *hate* it and wish complete & utter destruction on it. Not o is it one of the zillion Chromium forks taking over the Internet through false competition, but it's run by known anti-LGBTQIA+ anti-vaxxer cryptoshit Brendan Eich, and has cryptoshit deeply & irreversibly integra into it.


    Nowadays, I find it a bonus rather than a malus when something is run by somebody who angers easily offended people. I guess Brave gets some ++ point for not sponsoring the word soup brigade.

    I use Firefox myself with the arkenfox user.js and some other tricks. Brave very popular among people who wants a Chromium based browser with adblocking integrated, so I appreciate it exists. I am a fan of most stuff that starves the advertisement industry, specially hypocrite bullies such as Google.

    I had never heard of Brave Browser until today. I will stick with Firefox for the time. I used it since it was Mozilla brower and never had any issue with it.I have Google blocked in my hosts file and have not missed it. I did the same with bing and only have problems with a few websites not loading, i just find a work around and do just fine.

    I use a content filtering Proxy that removes lots of advertisements and trackers, and then I have an adblocker integrated with the DNS services I use. It is cooler than dealing with host files, specially because if you have more than one computer it sucks to keep host files in sync.

    But yeah, fuck Google.

    Some financial institutions only accept chrome or safari maybe Firefox, they will block you like you were operating behind a VPN.
