Was reading an answer to the question about fresh Amazon tablet and saw this. They used up the question as a hook to promote their browser. Pretty sure I’m avoiding Brave from now on.
Q: Does the fire max 11 have YouTube app on it. A: I have installed Google Playstore , but I skip installing Youtube app . There is better option . Brave Browser in Playstore !! That thing has AWESOME popup Blocker and it’s own integrated Youtube Ads and other Nuisances blocker . My point ? You don’t need youtube on Fire max , You don’t need Google Maps , You don’t need Facebook App . Just Use Brave .
Gentle reminder that Brave’s CEO is a known bigot and the browser is just chrome with a few extensions and fresh coat of paint.
You’re selling them short. They also developed some crypto shit to shoehorn into it.
sauce pleaseAlright, the guy created Javascript and also used to work on Firefox, was named exec then left cause of his views on same-sex unions. The whole scandal involved a donation he made that was against proposition 8 in the state of California in the United States. This law was regarding same-sex unions. He created Brave software after.
(Off wikipedia)
Good luck avoiding JavaScript.
Maybe when Firefox gets better at hiding browser fingerprints I’ll go back to it.
Why people try to limit rights I’ll never understand. He can fuck right off into the sun.
That being said Brave is chromium, and there is tech in there that obfuscates your identity via browser fingerprint randomization, blocking webrtc on request, obfuscation of webrtc addresses, blocking of port scanning, and a bunch of other features. Ad and tracker blocking without breaking sites.It’s more than just “chrome with extensions” Chromium is the open source browser project used by Chrome. By your logic, Edge would also be “chrome with Microsoft extensions”.
The fact is, for privacy people don’t have many options. Brave and Firefox are the only ones. Brave has the edge on Firefox because people develop webapps/pages for optimum chromium compatibility and it’s unfortunate AF that he CEO is a piece of shit.
I, an intellectual, use typescript.
Please enlighten me comrade!
Typescript is just Javascript with a few extra features sprinkled ontop such as static types instead of Javascripts dynamic, this makes it a lot easier to develop software with. It’s still very much Javascript though, and my comment was a bit of a gaff
