They’ve partnered with Motorla and probably Samsung to have it pre-installed.

Once they are bought out by the singular mega corporation you will have only few choices left.
-
Learn to love their products
-
Sit idle in the dust because without their product you cannot partake in society.
-
Join an OpenClan and become a technomage

I imagine all of this data collection would greatly improve AI around browser use? That could be a feature with enough draw in the consumer space.
Rich CEOs will want all their employees using it and only web apps so that they can try to use that data to replace them. Their perplexity dashboard will have a list of all their employees, AI’s fine-tuned on that employee’s data.
The future is bright… :-\

What the fuck is a gaming browser. Browsers show web pages.

It downloads RAM for you, sells your browsing data to major gaming companies, helps you stay on top of your Twitch subs by disabling the ability to block web notifications.
You know, a gaming browser.

From what I’ve seen it has a lil sidebar that let’s you limit the resources available to it. Also a load of shortcuts to giveaways and storefronts. It’s also hideous, as all gamer stuff should be.
Honestly it gives me more “lowspec” vibes, than “gaming”, and there are far better ways to browse on low spec machines.

I’m still shocked at how many seemingly tech-literate people use and defend Brave because of influencers.

An influencer’s review only makes me wary of a product and makes me question their motives.
But I guess others don’t see it that way, or they wouldn’t be doing it.

Also depends on which source we are discussing. Many YouTube channel owners do no not call themselves “influencers” and just focus on their domains and are very strict about sponserships (some don’t even accept sponsorships).
