I’ve been seeing a lot of people hate and uninstall Brave. Why? It’s not like they’re tracking us or doing anything else shady. If so, what’s the privacy alternative?

    I find myself switching between Brave and Firefox. The anti-Brave crowd is mostly dissatisfied with the Brave ownership and the crypto/ad features. I myself don’t have a problem with either. The crypto and ad features can simply be disabled. If you like Brave and it does what you want then you should use it

      A large part is also that it’s Chromium based. I agree about the features, the first thing I do with Firefox is go around and disable all the random stuff they’ve added (eg: pocket)

        Ah right, I forgot about that. It’s a valid argument.
