It still uses chrome

>>105680229 (OP)
I ahve been using Bravo Browser for 14 years now, and there is no other Based Browser I would ever consider using. Thank you Based Big Brain Brendan Eich, for giving us the gifts or Brave Browser and Basic Attention Tokin.

Chromium is FOSS

chromium, and all the crypto bloat

Buy an ad, tranny.

Because it uses manifest v3 which has been confirmed to be google telemetry hardware fingerprinting spyware and because Brave phones home to brave and google servesr to fingerprint you and there is no way to disable it.

constant shilling on /g/ makes me suspicious

>>105681193
Imagine citing the website made by someone who works for Brave as a source for Brave's superiority.

>>105681193
Braves bug tracker has multiple fingeprinting bugs open since 2016 which individually are enough to identify 90%+ of users uniquely with just each of these identifiers. Add on to that the intentional randomisation of some very specific APIs they do and Brave is easier to track than stock Chrome on Windows

Since I know you got no clue what the hell any of this means take an example:
Brave "fakes" the Canvas Api by adding garbage into its output. That alone puts you into a batch of users that fake their canvas output (which likely is less than 0.01% of users). Now add to that identifiable vectors that Chrome (and Brave) cannot hide (like CSS queries indicating ui element size content size fonts or whatever) and you are easier to track with brave than if you just used vanilla chrome.

Theres a huge body of academia explicitly showing why Canvas blockers and addons like adnauseam are worse for privacy and it is also why Tor explicitly tells you not to install addons (not even adblockers).

That disqualifies any argument for this piece of shit browser.

Sir, since you are a streetshitter. You are SUPPOSED to use Brave.

>>105680229 (OP)
I would honestly use it if it wasn't for all the crypto faggotry.
>inb4 you can dis-ACK!!!
I don't trust brave guys with not abusing that thing. they already had at least one affiliate scandal.

And gets caught every few months fucking over his user base too; crypto ads, secretly switching affiliate links to make money (and track you). Cuck behavior to idolize a guy trying to fuck you over again and again.

I do use Brave but purely because the built-in ad blocking works superb. the whole browsers appears - at least to me - polished. fast too. I don't care about privacy and the whole crypto trash howeverthoughdoebeit

Not everything is an argument. Learn to not take every single interaction in your life as some form of combat. Have a good day.

>>105687938
They made the tools and can make it portray Brave in a positive light. Can you read the source code? No? Then it being open source means nothing.

Its up to you to decide if those features brave has makes it worth it to you, but many of those green checkmarks are defarbling techniques other browsers dont have. brave isnt perfect, but it's doing a really good job at keeping up with chrome and leaving firefox behind in many aspects

>>105687954
Or the discussion is over. I didn't read your post. You can quit replying now because I'm going to hide your replies since you seem to angrily want to have a back and forth.

void linux doesn't package brave so I still use firefox, I have no issues with firefox anyway

>>105693326
Whatever ends this conversation

Librewolf and mullvad exist, both are superior even in the image the brave shills themselves use to dispute FFs superiority.
Yeah stock FF is shit, but I wouldn't use that anyways, not without adding on user.js from arkenfox project or switching to a vastly superior fork.

If you're lazy and or too retarded to DIY, use brave.

>>105693328

I'd suggest stopping, you'll get owned with ease.

I avoid Chromium mainly not for ideological reasons, but because I find it to be very locked down and customization-unfriendly.

For example on Safari there is an option to adjust for how long the browser should remember history, the default being 1 year, and you can set it to remember all. On Chromium it is hard-coded to be stuck at 90 days, there is no way to change it. On Firefox it depends on the total items/size of the history file instead of the time passed, with the maximum number calculated based on your PC specs. Both settings on Safari and Firefox are much saner than "90 days no matter what" on chromium.

On Firefox I can open about:config and tweak whatever I want down to the total pages to be remembered in the go back/go forward list. There is nothing like that on Chromium and whenever I tweak something on its equivalent, chrome://flags, every time I have to relaunch the browser to see the effects, much more cumbersome.

>>105681193
there's no privacy browser. you will get fingerprinted up the walls on each one. but having google know your fingerprint and link it to an identity is far worse than having chess.com fingerprint you.

tor is the only somewhat private but i can be easly fingerprinted with font queries

>>105681193
meaningless stat. you shouldn't be using a single browser. anyway. I have 3 to 5 browsers always installed for different activities

>>105688803
>not that secure https://qua3k.github.io/ungoogled/
does this apply to chromium too? i dont want to install proprietary chrome but i dont care about meme conections to google that can be disabled in settings.

i use chromium as a snap

Remove the fucking laser purple shit theme from incognito and I'll consider it.

>>105680229 (OP)

>>105680229 (OP)
how about 9 reasons
>Way back in 2016, Brave promised to remove banner ads from websites and replace them with their own, basically trying to extract money directly from websites without the consent of their owners
>In the same year, CEO Brendan Eich unilaterally added a fringe, pay-to-win Wikipedia clone into the default search engine list
>In 2018, Tom Scott and other creators noticed Brave was soliciting donations in their names without their knowledge or consent
>In 2020, Brave got caught injecting URLs with affiliate codes when users tried browsing to various websites
>Also in 2020, they silently started injecting ads into their home page backgrounds, pocketing the revenue. There was a lot of pushback: "the sponsored backgrounds give a bad first impression." Further requests were ignored (immediately closed)
>In 2021, Brave's TOR window was found leaking DNS queries, and a patch was only widely deployed after articles called them out
>In 2022, Brave floated the idea of further discouraging users from disabling sponsored messages
>In 2023, Brave got caught installing a paid VPN service on users' computers without their consent
>In 2024, Brave gave up on providing advanced fingerprint protection, citing flawed statistics (people who would enable the protection would likely disable Brave telemetry)

It's funny how the thread is full of information about how much of a scam Brave is, but the pajeets they pay to promote it still need to keep it bumped on the catalog because that's their job.

>>105697843
