Literally nothing will get me to use this crypto scam of a browser.
I've used this for years and have never interacted with any crypto feature
They kind of just ignore that the crypto feature is opt-in.
The fact that the dev behind brave is a homophobe isn't opt in though...
Also, their whole business model was (is?) just replacing ads with ads they get paid for.

Not interacted doesnt mean it's non-existant.
It exists and therefore it's bad enough.

Running Linux would block this feature too.
Just reason sayin.
Switching to Linux made me like computers again. Switching to Hyprland made me love computers again.
Switching to TempleOS made me hear the voices again.
Switching to Hannah Montana Linux made me hear The Best of Both Worlds again.

Unfortunately that would involve using the Brave browser, which is an antifeature in itself.

Brave browser blocks Windows feature that takes screenshots of everything you do on your PC
As does Linux.

They haven't blocked the windows feature, they're using DRM to interfere with it. Microsoft could easily change how the DRM works any time they want, rendering all these hacks useless.

yeah, no, i'm not using your shitty browser.
But it’s funded by an unrepentant homophobe! How can you pass on that?!

yeah but it's run by an active opponent of LGBT folks
This still doesn't make brave a good privacy browser in the long run
Let me know when it is discovered that they in fact replaced MS Recall with their own version that was scraping your data in yet another sketchy attempt to make money.
In this thread something I see a lot on lemmy is happening. Maybe someone can give me a hint on how that happens. The post itself is 90% upvotes, while the comment section is really anti-Brave (for good reasons). Do most upvotes come from people scrolling through without looking at the comment section and those with an opinion on the topic dive into it?
I upvote the post because I support the feature, and would like to see more browsers implement more privacy focused features.
I upvote the anti-Brave comments, because fuck Brave.
The post itself is reasonable quality and informative so I find it upvote worthy. If a post is low quality or a shit post then I downvote.
To me the karma system is about quality. Not an "I agree/disagree" button.
For comments I only down vote obvious trolls, bigots/racism etc.

I think you should not downvote a post you have a negative opinion about. If the post is worth to discuss then why should I not upvote the post and then say that I disagree in the comments. If we all down vote those posts nobody will see it (apart of those who sort by controversial) and there will be no discussion.

"Feature"
The sad thing is that you now have to protect yourself against the OS you are using. Feels a bit like in the movie TRON.

A device that surreptitiously gathers information on a target is called a bug, not a feature.

Can Recall not just be turned off?
For an update or two, at least. Windows features tend to get turned back on after updates quite frequently.

Until Macs become cheaper or Linux becomes easier, Windows will remain the largest OS.
I would rather be set on fire and have it put out with shovel than use a mac.
