      Seriously exhausted of people recommending it. The company itself is extremely concerning and was founded by a right-wing bigot involved in crypto scams. There are far better Chromium-based browsers for those who want that. Brave should be left to rot.

      To be fair to the video, it presented alternative browsers for those who either aren’t happy about recent Firefox changes, or users who want a secondary browser. I’m not a fan of Brave personally, but the video never really makes the claim that Brave is objectively better than Firefox

          Is it really? I’d say an alternative is generally just “another option that has (more or less) the same features”. Better isn’t really implied, as that’s someone’s subjective opinion.

        Riiiiight, a chromium fork with questionable crypyo and a history of even more questionable decisions (referral scam or not blocking all the trackers, for example) is better than a non-chromium non-fork with no crypto and a history of questionable decisions.

        Despite the negative things in Brave’s history, it is currently the best working browser on iOS that has a working adblock feature.
