I don’t know much about brave except that its chromium based and apparently removes web ads as its main feature. Why are they running ads? Why do I keep getting this browser recommended? How the fuck do they make money to be able to target me with this info? Something is off and I don’t like it. I feel like the pressure to use brave isnt coming to me organically so I’m staying clear of it. I just have a bad feeling and I’ll trust my gut on this.

Because they “reward” people with crypto for watching ads so a lot of cryptobro assholes have financial interest in the browser getting more popular.
Also the CEO is homophobic and right-wing so it speaks to a lot of loud assholes.
Well, they threatened students for creating a fork. So yeah, they are dead to me
They block all ads except their own.

Its full of crypto bullshit as well, and they add their own ads too some pages that they pay you to watch (in a useless crypto)
