Okay, so the creator of Brave might be a bigot and some of the stuff it does with crypto currency is a little sketchy? And the ads it replaces with the blocked ads are somewhat invasive?
So disable the crypto stuff and use ad-blocking software along with its own adblocking functions.
If a mechanic fixes my car and does a really good job, but he might have some shitty opinions of gay people, as long as he fixes my car I don’t care about what he might think of gay people.
Everyone needs to be aware that there’s propaganda everywhere. microsoft and google REALLY want you to use their browsers and people are tired of the data MS Edge and chrome collect.
I for one, hate that chrome constantly connects other shit to your google account with just one accidental click sometimes. Edge does the same shit, but brave is the only chromium based browser that doesn’t deceptively do shit like that.
I still like firefox better and I only have brave for those rare instances where firefox won’t work on a website. And I don’t actually believe that the creator of brave is actually a bigot. Pro-liberty, Pro-privacy and anti-surveillance types are always getting smeared as bigots when they aren’t.
It’s not what he thinks of gay people. It’s that he spent his money to successfully deny gay people rights and nullify marriages that were already recognized. That’s not somebody I want to give money to. Look on Hacker News for his comments about why he made that donation, and you might change your mind about whether he is actually a bigot. He has never apologized for his actions.
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.
If he was a bigot back then, is he still a bigot now?
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 since.
Which is almost never.
Then there is no problem. Just tell people to use Firefox.
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
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,
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.
I don’t use Firefox because of its poor security compared to chromium. I’d love it if a sane, well-polished, open source chromium based browser came along and replaces Brave.
Adguard for desktop has pretty good filters for malware and phishing domains
Then there’s also avira browser safety and bitdefender traffic light. Emsisoft browser protection, malwarebytes browser guard.
Firefox also gives you a lot of stuff in the about: config menu to prevent many different kinds of tracking from advertisers and the websites themselves.

You can get web filters and extensions.
Adguard for desktop has pretty good filters for malware and phishing domains
Then there’s also avira browser safety and bitdefender traffic light. Emsisoft browser protection, malwarebytes browser guard.
Firefox also gives you a lot of stuff in the about: config menu to prevent many different kinds of tracking from advertisers and the websites themselves.
AdNausem is another good browser extension.
