I’ve been seeing a lot of people hate and uninstall Brave. Why? It’s not like they’re tracking us or doing anything else shady. If so, what’s the privacy alternative?

Brave fucks with crypto. Never fuck with crypto. It’s also Chromium, which means they’re complicit in Google’s efforts to DRM the internet.
I’m pro digial cash / Monero … but it doesn’t belong in a web browser. Super sketchy shit they are doing with BAT, which means they are tracking you.
I legitimately would be fine with automatically paying authors. It’s not like I enjoy pay walls, ads, or AI garbage writing.
But yeah that’s a job for existing crypto and a Firefox extension. Nothing about this needed a separate money supply or browser.
Crypto isn’t mandatory in brave, I use it for it’s built-in ad block and they say they won’t implement Google’s DRM, also blockchain based since is nice
I’m aware, but it’s still supported, and that’s enough for me to vomit over a garbage product.
They say they won’t implement Google’s DRM but words alone do not matter. If they continue to use Chromium, they’ll be forced to adopt that and manifest v3.
They would have to put more work into their fork, but they aren’t forced.
