I’m using brave so who cares…
Wasn’t it revealed a while ago that Brave was just a big crypto scam?
Also, it’s chromium so… You’re getting V3 eventually.
-
pushing crypto on users
-
injecting crypto affiliate links
-
installing other Brave software without permission on your PC when you install their browser
-
an obscenely high marketing budget that misled people about data collection on Brave
-
a CEO that was fired from Mozilla for being openly homophobic and donating money to a campaign that wanted to undo the legalisation of same-sex marriage (although some users may view this as a good thing)
Brave was found to be injecting their affiliate links for crypto.

I have years using it and I have never been crypto scammed for it, about the V3 I truly don’t know apparently you will still be able to turn on some V2 extensions like ublock origin but I didn’t see the point of it if the browser include a good adblocker anyway.
Same. The adblocker in Brave is great, its been ages since I ditched uBo and I’ve still to see a single ad. Built-in adblockers are good, because Google has no power there. Firefox, instead, its still a thing exclusively because of uBO i.e., the work of an external, unpaid developer. The say uBO disappears, is the day FF dies. Mozilla is so busy wasting time and money on unrelated stuff and huge CEO paychechs that they have had no the time to add and inbuilt advlocker to FF, which instead has useless crap such as Pockets and an opt-out ad-measurement tool which nobody asked for.
