If you are keen on personal privacy, you might have come across Brave Browser. Brave is a Chromium-based browser that promises to deliver privacy with built-in ad-blocking and content-blocking protection. It also offers several quality-of-life features and services, like a VPN and Tor access. I mean, it’s even listed on the reputable PrivacyTools website.

    Might be nicer if they just didn’t care.

    Check the comment section for the video version of this article by Niccolò, or the comment section of the post on r/browsers, or the replies whenever these issues are mentioned on Twitter, and so on, and you’ll find a bunch of brave people saying stuff like:

    you unintentionally just made me like brave over firefox. now i can switch to a chromium based browser and not even feel bad about it

    Yes i am installing Brave after this advertisment!

    I don’t think every Brave user is a cunt, but fucking hell, are loud cunts seemingly attracted to Brave.

    To folks bothered by this: know that the lead developer of Ladybird is a big fan of Brendan Eich.
