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?

      Firefox also cares about profit (the Mozilla Corporation makes Firefox and is a for-profit entity), that’s why they take that money from Google, try to get people to pay for email aliases and VPN, etc. If Brave maintains a chromium fork, they do not have to deal with “Google slowly pushing things into it” other than removing those things.

        That does seem a lot better to me than crypto and ad networks.

      What’s funny is that Brave Shields appear to be a fancy UI around uBlock. The element picker UI isn’t drastically changed.

      The wallet was for a whole just Metamask (it is now it’s own implementation which is nice).
