That’s pretty par for the course for Internet arguments in my experience. Then they get all huffy after you explain why their source doesn’t say what they claimed and try to complain that because you didn’t supply a source, they’re still right.
Indeed. The <“I’m right. There’s plenty of sources that back me up, do your own research” then fail to provide sources> crowd are my personal pet peeve.
The fact that the dev behind brave is a homophobe isn’t opt in though…
Peter Thiel was also a major, early investor in the project.
That’s another ‘this one thing should let you know this is radioactive.’
If you only use software that is created by people you like… well… i guess your only choice will be an abacus…
I don’t care if I like them. I very much care if I’m making money for people who are actively trying to take away my rights
It’s also just another flavor of chromium so it still helps Google maintain their monopoly.
Anyone trying to de-google needs to be using Firefox.
Sure, that sucks, but the product is good
You can’t always agree with everyone
Also, their whole business model was (is?) just replacing ads with ads they get paid for.
Uh… no? It just puts sponsored backgrounds when you open new tabs or windows notifications if you opt-in
It never replaced ads in websites afaik
https://ads.brave.com/
They’re not actively replacing elements on a web page, but they’re still getting paid to show you ads and you can opt in for some crypto nonsense.
Sure, so? It’s still opt-in, and by default it sends the generated crypto money to creators and websites you visit
If you don’t like it, don’t enable it? They’re pretty transparent about how it works overall
They have pretty much abandoned this feature anyways
It’s opt-in for now, how many times do we have to play this game?
I’ll keep using Firefox with uBo to actually block ads instead of a browser that’s running its own ad delivery system.
Brave has a built in ad blocker
at this point you’re just hating on brave for nothing
Sure, but that’s opt-in. By default, it just blocks ads.
The dev behind Brave isn’t part of Brave anymore.
Did you even read the text you shared? It just says he left mozilla.
I did, just made a mistake. Thank you and have a pleasant afternoon.
wow why is this getting downvotes for admitting a mistake?
He left Mozilla (chased out because he’s a homophobe) and went on to found Brave, where he still remains
Ah, thank you for the clarification.
That’s saying that he left Mozilla for that. He’s still CEO of Brave
Thanks.
Can’t believe this poor reading comprehension is getting upvoted.
What’s amazing is they proved themselves wrong in their own post, thinking they proved themselves right. It’s actually impressive.
Tbh kinda explains why they use Brave
You don’t see it everyday that’s for sure.
