Comment on Brave browser blocks Windows feature that takes screenshots of everything you do on your PC

  They shit on it because just like Mozilla, they made some shit decision by making some shady partnerships, and because the CEO is transphobic/homophobic/can’t remember

  Apart from the usual bullshit and antifeatures it has, it’s still a great browser choice, just like Firefox

    I just think the idea of your alternative being partially coded by the company you’re attempting to avoid is a little stupid. I don’t give a shit who he is. I barely give a shit who runs Mozilla.

    Brave and every other Chromium fork are at the mercy of Google to exist as an alternative to Google.

    “Just like Mozilla”.

    Let’s compare.

    Mozilla: installed a closed-source plugin once, and then apologised for it.

    Brave CEO: actively supports homophobic organisations, donates money to them, injects affiliate links to stores, whenever given a microphone will say something bigoted and homophobic.

    Yeah, it’s totally the same exact issue with both browsers!
