I’m still shocked at how many seemingly tech-literate people use and defend Brave because of influencers.
The amount of folks I see use Opera GX “gaming browser” because some influencer said so…

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.

Dude, you forgot that it had built in led control. We all should know by know that gaming = leds

Fun fact: it turns out that all those LEDs rely (in Windows at least) on a super-insecure driver written by a hobbyist who last updated it in the mid-2000s and has since disavowed it.

Or better yet, it adds LEDs to your web browsing experience (in-page and inside PWAs) and the colours scheme is synchronized with your computer’s LED.

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.
