It gets my goat that people think it’s a good option. There are plenty of articles explaining some of the many issues with it, but a few are:

  1. It’s run by anti-LGBTQ+ crypto bros.
  2. It has ads right out of the box.
  3. It collected donations towards people who never signed up for them - then held them to ransom in exchange for the kind of information you should never share on the Internet.
  4. They’re a for-profit advertising company. “Privacy-centric” my elbow.

    This makes me think that the people who install brave, are the people who, 15-20 years ago, would have a IE install that was half toolbars.

    God…remember all the scammy toolbars for IE? and how they could take up half the damn screen on some peoples machines?
