Comment on Why you shouldn't use Brave Browser

EmperorHenry@lemmy.world ⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

Again, the sheer volume of propaganda that’s out there about everything that helps protect your privacy. People still think the Tor network and the Tor Browser are exclusively used by criminals.

Some people think that VPNs are exclusively used by criminals namely viewers of CP.

And it’s because of shills, some from the government and some from corporations, mixed in with groups of people that spread lies like those that people think that.

Brave is a relatively good browser. In terms of privacy it’s way better than chrome and edge. And I know for a fact that google, maybe microsoft too are trying to take control of everything by forcing everyone to use their own browsers so that they can be spied on easier and they’re also trying to make it so you can’t visit their own websites with an adblocker enabled.

Brave has adblocking built in and it blocks a lot of trackers from collecting your data too.

Even if the creator of brave is bigoted against gay people, which I still don’t believe he actually is. Is he the one trying to restrict access to pro-gay stuff online? Is he the one trying to restrict people’s access to anything at all? Google and Microsoft are trying to do those things if you don’t use their browsers with no extensions in them

If he was a bigot back then, is he still a bigot now?

Again, I only ever use brave when I can’t make something work with firefox. Which is almost never.

Yes, he is. As I said, he has posted why he spent money to deny gay people the right to marry and to nullify the marriages of gay people who were already married, and he has not apologized for it.

Which is almost never.

Then there is no problem. Just tell people to use Firefox.

  Yeah and it had a lot of success, didn’t it?
  
  A majority of even republican voters are in favor of allowing consenting adults to marry. A majority of republican voters are also in favor of medicare for all and ending the illegal wars the US is involved in. And a majority of republicans are also against all the toppling of democratically elected leaders that the US does too…once they’re made aware of it anyway.
  
  If he’s still a bigot, the solution would be for the LGBT community to reach out an arm of friendship to him.
  
  Once he realizes that they’re going through all the same problems he’s going through he won’t hate them anymore.

  Well there is one problem. A lot of websites will lock you out if they see you using firefox. I have to spoof my useragent to show I’m using…some other browser. Ha! Nice try! You almost got me to reveal some of my op-sec
