    They shit on it because just like Mozilla, they made some shit decision by making some shady partnerships, and because the CEO is transphobic/homophobic/can’t remember

    Apart from the usual bullshit and antifeatures it has, it’s still a great browser choice, just like Firefox

      “Just like Mozilla”.

      Let’s compare.

      Mozilla: installed a closed-source plugin once, and then apologised for it.

      Brave CEO: actively supports homophobic organisations, donates money to them, injects affiliate links to stores, whenever given a microphone will say something bigoted and homophobic.

      Yeah, it’s totally the same exact issue with both browsers!

        Brave: injected affiliate links once, then apologised for it too. Developped a search engine to be less dependent on big companies

        Mozilla is spending money like crazy, just like Wikipedia, has little to no democratic system which makes people fork the stuff they make, and prefer to use the money from donation to buy trips all over the world to educate about privacy and shit while they proceed to keep adding more telemetry and BS in firefox

        They also make it close to impossible to install plugins outside their plugins website, which I’ve heard has some strict rules and take a lot of time to approve stuff. Closed garden bullshit again
