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?

    1. Say no to chromium. Use Firefox and its forks. Even Safari (webkit) maybe a better choice to support a healthy web environment.

    2. Say no to crypto. I hope I don’t need to explain this one. If you have to use Chromium browsers for whatever reasons, use Vivaldi.

      I think it’s better to phrase the crypto part differently. Because crypto is a great tool for privacy, while Brave’s crypto crap is just annoying.

      since we’re on the FOSS community, I’d recommend using Ungoogled Chromium since Vivaldi isn’t fully open source.

        Ungoogled Chromium is a great choice. I just hope it can auto update itself. 😅

        Also I once encountered an anti-virus programme miscategorize Ungoogled Chromium as malware. It can be annoying for those uninitiated.
