    Brave is shit but calling this a reason to be skeptical is fucking stupid. Almost every piece of software includes features that some subset of users will never touch. That isn’t a reason not to include it.

    “Oh no, Firefox includes a bookmark toolbar! I don’t use bookmarks so they need to get rid of this!”

      brave is basically installing a future minefield with system-wide access waiting to be triggered by them, or an exploitable bug by others, on all brave users’ pcs and not just those who sub to their vpn service.
