A bunch of marketing/advertising driven crypto"currency" i.e., pyramid scheme peddlers desperate for greater fools.

On a computer either use uBlock Origin-included LibreWolf for stability and privacy, Zen browser for power users, and on Android one can use Fennec; all of them Firefox derivatives.

So they can send your data to Microsoft instead of both.

While continuing to use their own proxies to send your data to google.

Is Brave browser the cryptocoin crap browser? I think I've used it for a short time about 2 years ago, before moving to Vivaldi and later Firefox.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 1 day ago

Cool I guess. But I still find Brave to be a sketchy organization with how they have done some of their schemes to make money over the years. So will continue to avoid anything they make.

Firefox can be installed from Mozilla and managed by Obtainium. Much better option all the way around.

Use Fennec with security and privacy tweaks

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

That is great. Been using Brave for years.
