You can test it in Brave Nightly 1.59.
I’m supposed to trust BRAVE with privacy? Did I receive a massive head injury and not realize it?
Why do you distrust brave?
Last time I checked they were still injecting code in random pages (for example on old reddit where each post in the list of a sub had additional stuff that was a PITA to disable).

Also likely its dataset was trained on stolen user data.
Exactly. AI and privacy don’t fit in the same sentence.

Wow, that’s worse than I thought. What a shitty company. Glad I made the right judgement when they went all in on cryptocurrency bullshit.

Your quote is worthless, that summary doesn’t give any reason what’s problematic about the browser.
It’s also unfortunate that the article’s author chose to start with politics - I prefer technical reasons to stop using technical tools.
The crypto bullshit and injection of affiliate codes to URLs are indeed problematic. However, to me that just says to stay vigilant when using Brave but it’s still not as bad as Chrome.
Personally I use Firefox anyway but unfortunately, webdevs get lazier every year and only test Chromium browsers and sometimes some stupid website doesn’t work correctly on Firefox. If it’s something like an airline checkout I need a fallback browser and today that’s Brave.

Shady browser from a shady company.
In the comments: crypto bros and privacy nerds have the same shit fight they always have in every brave post. I honestly don’t think anyone even uses this browser and likely never will.
I use it for YouTube and spotify because the ad block works. Firefox i had some sites that wouldn’t work with the extensions I have running
…Aaaand I’m officially tossing the browser. AI has it’s place, and that is not embedded in every fucking program I use.
How is Brave covering cost of this thing?
There is a paid subscription tier of the brave search which certainly is used to partitially fund this project. Other than that. Brave also serves ads in their search results for free users. Those however are not based on your profile but are based on your current search (similar how DuckDuckGo and Startpage are handling their ads).

sorry you got downvoted by mob mentality. Thanks for sharing
I mean, they’re scummy but you’re right. There’s no reason to downvote news. OP isn’t advertising.
OP advertised it in my opinion. Because he didnt talked about it. Just posted a pic and small text.
If I were to post a link to a Google Chrome “What’s New” post and say nothing else, would I also be advertising?
The hivemind/stupidity and the amount of Mozilla apologists among supposed techies amazes me everytime. I’m glad I left Mozilla community and FF a few years ago and I find extremely satisfying watching them slowly dying. I’ll celebrate the day Mozilla and its shitty community ceases to exist.
