Can you blame them though, they are the only option to chromeium and they are a corporation that needs money to thrive.
Nobody blamed them here, as far i read.
Which they could get with no trouble if they wouldnt pay their CEO absurds ammounts. They need to be a cooperative.
Who blamed them? How did you even come up with such response?
If the ads aren't optional and opt-in like in Brave, people will just create an identical fork except for the ads code being removed.
Vim. At launch, it includes an advertisement to help the poor children in Uganda.
In the version of Vim that I am using (Vim 8.1), the "advertisement" appears to be randomly chosen between "Help poor children in Uganda!" and "Sponsor Vim development!".
Brave browser, based on chromium has an ad reward program that you have to opt-in
JDownloader but you can remove them
Brave is going through a process of feature-bloat, which I equate to advertisements
It's been bloated ever since they added their stupid cryptoscam ads to it.
I suppose they have to make money somehow
Brave has always had advertisments for their crypto scheme
