I think we need all support we can get to fight Google on this, so I welcome Brave here actually.

Use this link to avoid going to Twitter:

Brave users remind me of Joe Rogan bros. I wonder what that Venn diagram looks like.

Isn't Brave doing this because they have their own way that they sell ads for coins?

I don't entirely approve, I think. But if it helps fight Google's domination of the market, fine.

Just going to leave this here

I was going to link the controversies section but it seems to have been removed without any reason at all though the controversies are discussed on the talk page for the Wikipedia article that I have linked

Does this mean anything, I mean they can just prevent us accessing to site. And even though this is something we dont wish many websites are going to implement web integrity; which lead us to being forced to use a browser compatible with web integrity if we want to use web.

I know there are always alternatives to services that are probably going to implement web integrity(mainly referring big techs' services) but we all sometimes use their services in some cases.

Idk Brave is not a browser, but some crypto processig application. It tries to be more than browser, but I only need browser, so I am not going to use it.

Firefox seem to do the job just fine. <3

Have you used it? If you don't want you won't really notice anything crypto outside of the "new tab" screen. Not pushing anything onto the user while browsing. I'm not sure what people are talking about. Yes, you can have wallet there and make an insignificant amount of money by allowing their ads.

I’m not sure what people are talking about.

To me it's just the principle of the thing. A browser replacing ads with it's own is just... weird. The idea of being paid to be advertised to just makes me feel yuck.

The thing that comes up over and over is that all the weird stuff is opt-in. "It's just like firefox, but it has an opt-in homeless person puncher, just in case you ever want that."

Ordinarily I try to be as "you do you" as I can, but the thing that kinda rubs me the wrong way about Brave is that there's so many people so loyal to what seems to me to be a bit weird.

You can just turn the crypto stuff off, and the nice thing is when you turn it off it actually respects your decision and actually turns off
