Cool I guess. But I still find Brave to be a sketchy organization with how they have done some of their schemes to make money over the years. So will continue to avoid anything they make.
good, now it can go fuck itself without google's interference
While continuing to use their own proxies to send your data to google.
i used this piece of crap on windows, and theres always a small brave.exe running in the background even when you disable background running. i have no abiloty to prove its spyware, but doesnt strike confidence.
also we have cromite, librewolf, ironfox, why would i install this crap?
probably an update service. all browsers do it on windows because the os doesn't handle updates.
fuck their update service. when the browser executed, it can check for a new version like all browsers did for 20 years.

So they can send your data to Microsoft instead of both.
Brave's a bunch of marketing/advertising driven crypto"currency" i.e., pyramid scheme peddlers desperate for greater fools.

On a computer either use uBlock Origin-included LibreWolf for stability and privacy, Zen browser for power users, and on Android one can use Fennec; all of them Firefox derivatives.

Firefox can be installed from Mozilla and managed by Obtainium. Much better option all the way around.
