A place to discuss privacy and freedom in the digital world.
Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.
In this community everyone is welcome to post links and discuss topics related to privacy.

- Try to keep things on topic
- If you have a question, please try searching for previous discussions, maybe it has already been answered
- Reposts are fine, but should have at least a couple of weeks in between so that the post can reach a new audience

Why are there daily posts against Brave but not against other browsers? Is Google more trustworthy than Brave?
Because Brave likes to portray itself as privacy friendly. We already know Chrome, Edge and others aren't.
Because people in this community already know not to use Google Chrome and Microsoft.
Also, where are these daily posts? Personally I haven't seen any saying "don't use Brave" which is why I made this post in the first place.
I have been browsing /new since about a week and this is the third anti-brave submission that I see there.
You're probably seeing similar posts from different communities, especially if you're browsing through all rather than subscribed or local.
I see all too many recommendations to use Brave in comments so a post like this is of value.
I mean it's a free forum, you can make one if you want to.
I don't object the creation. I just want to know why there is that discrepancy.
"The devil you know" and all that.
