Nothing quite says “high-performance muscle car” like a popup ad for a Mopar Extended Warranty covering your whole center console. That’s right, Dodge Charger owners are now experiencing an exciting new feature: pop-up ads that appear every time the vehicle stops at a light. This absolute garbage feature was spotted in the wild, take a look here.

      I’ve noticed brave users are some of the biggest useful idiots on the internet.

      I genuinely think there are 2 classes of brave users: people who are invested in the company trying to viral market it, and the morons who fall for it.

        I use it on my mobile devices to avoid youtube ads. Because i’ve yet to find a better way to avoid them on a tablet or phone.

        If you have a better option for iphone/ipad, i’m willing to try it.

      Brave derives revenue from advertising.

      Brave devotees are the only people I’ve ever seen defending advertising as a user friendly revenue model.

              I’d suggest you change to Firefox, but they have made some… troubling changes to their privacy policy recently, so it may be a good idea to use a debranded port of it instead.

                Afaik that’s mostly FUD and was debunked.

                I’m still not happy with Mozilla throwing money down the AI toilet.

                  I’ve seen no debunking. Have you got a link for that?

                  Not saying you’re wrong, just that I’ve not seen it :)

                  If there was a debunking, I’d love to see that. I know Mozilla spun some damage control talking about how the change in terms didn’t really mean anything and was strictly for legal compliance, but, well, I’ve heard that one before.

              you have 48 hours to uninstall brave or you will be thoroughly cancelled.

              on lemmy, using the browser you are currently using is tantamount to getting a maga tattoo

              you may delay the cancellation by 24 hours by promoting your affinity for linux installs, or swearing that you will switch to a non USA produced kind of ketchup
