Every time someone uses Brave, I know I can ignore their opinion. They’re either a useful moron who is too dumb to look around them, or they support every single one of these things.
It’s no wonder why 4chan’s /g/ loves Brave.
Comment on Why I recommend against Brave.
MemmingenFan923@feddit.org 2 weeks agoOof. It seems that most of the users simply don’t care.

Might be nicer if they just didn’t care.
Check the comment section for the video version of this article by Niccolò, or the comment section of the post on r/browsers, or the replies whenever these issues are mentioned on Twitter, and so on, and you’ll find a bunch of brave people saying stuff like:
you unintentionally just made me like brave over firefox. now i can switch to a chromium based browser and not even feel bad about it
Yes i am installing Brave after this advertisment!
Thanks to this video I deleted Brave then redownloaded it
These were taken directly from the video. Throw in also some “stop inserting politics (that I don’t like) into tech” comments, and a few homophobes not even trying to hide it.
I don’t think every Brave user is a cunt, but fucking hell, are cunts seemingly attracted to Brave.
To folks bothered by this: know that the lead developer of Ladybird is also a big fan of Brendan Eich.

I don’t care about the personal life of the CEO, and I don’t care about crypto, and everything else is a giant pile of nothing. Ads in the home screen? Like who gives a shit??

So the CEO of the company funding Prop 8 to overturn gay marriage is nothing? Stealing from the creators it claimed to be funding?
Good to know that’s where you stand.

As long as his personal life doesn’t influence the product, I’ll just throw him on the pile with all the other Nazi supporting CEOs. which is most of them.

Okay but the very fact that Brave is a crypto-riddled mess that REPEATEDLY SCAMMED ITS OWN USERS (in what world do you think that’s stopped, and it isn’t just ‘we haven’t found out how they’re still doing it in 2025 yet’) is absolutely influenced by his views. His views are baked in to everything about that browser, up to and including YET ANOTHER bloody built-in LLM constantly popping up on interaction and trying to sell you on AI hallucinations being the future while wasting heck knows how much electricity (Leo).

Every time I mention that brave is a bad choice that is basically the response I get.
