Comment on Why I recommend against Brave.

So brave is for people who want privacy and security and are fine when their private, secure software is designed by people who see no problems with not investigating russian cyberterrorism, russian bots and propaganda and see no issues with sharing some of the highest state secrets over some fucking messenger group with random people from outside the government. OH and not to menition think traitorous felons who failed a coup should be punished with 4 years in the highest office.

designed by people who see no problems with…

Do you have a source for those beliefs, or are you just assuming that someone vaguely supporting Trump has that perspective?

I honestly don’t care what the devs believe, as long as they don’t intentionally put in vulnerabilities.

this is not the software I want to entrust literally all data of all my finances and important personal details on.

Same, which is why I use and recommend Firefox and derivatives.

My point is that if your requirement is a chromium-hard based browser, you can do a lot worse than Brave.

  You cannot support current administration and at the same time be pro freedom, privacy and even pro common sense. These things are mutually exclusive, unless you’re lying or insanely stupid bot.
  
  Very simple.

    I guess that depends on what you mean by “support.” You can support certain things the administration does while attacking others. I dislike most of what Trump has done, but I happen to like a few things Trump has done as well. It’s totally rational to say what you do and don’t like about a given administration. I voted for Biden, for example, and I was happy that he largely stayed out of my news feed and actually pulled us out of Afghanistan, but I’m not particularly happy about much of the rest of his presidency (still don’t regret my vote though).
    
    I don’t know how far Eich’s “support” goes, you’d have to ask him that. All I know is that he isn’t a fan of same-sex marriage at the government level. Maybe he’s a single issue voter, or maybe it’s something else. I don’t know, I haven’t seen much about his political preferences.
    
    My point is that we shouldn’t jump down someone’s throat and start assuming a whole host of things based on very limited evidence.
