How mich actual difference (minus the crypto) is there to base-chromium?
Afaik chromium is capable pf being a browser. Does that also have syncing or is it not capable of that?
That’s pretty par for the course for Internet arguments in my experience. Then they get all huffy after you explain why their source doesn’t say what they claimed and try to complain that because you didn’t supply a source, they’re still right.
I’ve used this for years and have never interacted with any crypto feature
That you know of
Not interacted doesnt mean it’s non-existant.
It exists and therefore it’s bad enough.
This is debatable. i find some that people hate on AI and crypto regardless of it’s implementation
I’m as crypto bro as they come. Fuck Brave, BAT is a pay-to-surf scam.
Exactly this. They’re acting braindead and disliking things for no valid reason
Just massively spreading misinformation
Existent**
It’s fine as a browser and it does a good job at syncing across devices. Still my chrome based browser of choice.

On iOS it’s one of very few browsers that has good adblocking built in
Honestly not sure. I haven’t done a side by side with plain old chromium in years.
They kind of just ignore that the crypto feature is opt-in.
The fact that the dev behind brave is a homophobe isn’t opt in though…
Also, their whole business model was (is?) just replacing ads with ads they get paid for.
Sure, but that’s opt-in. By default, it just blocks ads.
Uh… no? It just puts sponsored backgrounds when you open new tabs or windows notifications if you opt-in
It never replaced ads in websites afaik
https://ads.brave.com/
They’re not actively replacing elements on a web page, but they’re still getting paid to show you ads and you can opt in for some crypto nonsense.
Sure, so? It’s still opt-in, and by default it sends the generated crypto money to creators and websites you visit
If you don’t like it, don’t enable it? They’re pretty transparent about how it works overall
They have pretty much abandoned this feature anyways
Sure, that sucks, but the product is good
You can’t always agree with everyone

That’s saying that he left Mozilla for that. He’s still CEO of Brave
Can’t believe this poor reading comprehension is getting upvoted.
What’s amazing is they proved themselves wrong in their own post, thinking they proved themselves right. It’s actually impressive.
Tbh kinda explains why they use Brave
You don’t see it everyday that’s for sure.

Thanks.
He left Mozilla (chased out because he’s a homophobe) and went on to found Brave, where he still remains
Ah, thank you for the clarification.
Did you even read the text you shared? It just says he left mozilla.
I did, just made a mistake. Thank you and have a pleasant afternoon.
It’s okay, it’s never too late to switch.
