    I’m still suspicious of Brave for two reasons:

    • They’re entangled with the fraudiverse, aka cryptocurrency.
    • Brendan Eich, the CEO of Brave, believes that a lot of my friends shouldn’t be equal to other humans because they’re LGBTQ+.

    I’ve always hated the crypto shite that Brave pushed and never used it for that reason.

    Vivaldi is just as good at blocking ads and trackers, so I use that instead.

    From many of the comments it seems the community doesn’t like Brendan Eich and crypto, and maybe even practises a cancel culture. Because the CEO’s beliefs about gay marriage or showing few crypto links don’t make Brave a better or worse software.

      You are right, but when I choose the software I use I don’t only consider if it is a “good” software or not, but also ethical reasons
