As usual in the comments, programming.dev chuds care a whole lot about performatively not caring and get enraged at the thought of other people caring, thus the advocacy for Brave Browser entirely on the basis of “melting snowflakes” the way thumbheads roll coal because they want to “trigger” people that would prefer an inhabitable environment. morshupls

      Even better is the money-man early backer of Brave was Peter Theil. Peter Theil is the reactionary alt-right billionaire who founded the CIA In-Q-Tel backed Palantir, a company infamous for selling big-brother-as-a-service to the US nat-sec apparatus. I don’t trust anything he has his fingers in, especially if it is claiming to be selling you privacy while browsing the Internet. It’s just like how Elon Musk, another billionaire who like Theil was raised apartheid South Africa, claims to be promoting freedom and privacy by buying Twiter.

      If you care about privacy and an open web, stick with Mozilla Firefox and avoid honeypots like Brave.

    People in the comments defending Brave or saying the article is shitty: climate change denier, edgy sexist username haver, freeze-peach guy, anticommunist troll on Lemmygrad, person unironically talking about snowflakes and doing the ”libs triggered” bit

    Sure isn’t changing my preconception of Brave being a chud browser.

    There’s also this gem:

    All I read is cryptocurrency hating.

    Yeah, hating cryptocurrency is good.

      de-volition “You are currently clicking the link for a browser that will try to sell you a cryptocurrency every 15 minutes. Why?”

      de-visual-calculus “From the look of this UI and logo, the crypto grfiting was priority number one.”

      de-endurance"He’s not kidding about the visuals."

      de-volition “Taking emergency action.”

      You come to sitting in your computer chair, facing away from your desk to look out the window. You can’t remember what you sat down to do, but you get the sense it wasn’t important.

      Just use Firefox with ublock origin. Maybe get a VPN if you’re serious about anonymous browsing. There’s rapidly diminishing returns in obsessing over privacy tools compared to changing your browsing habits.
