You can show ads without tracking and keeping users their right to privacy, right? I think it’s different selling user data than having some ads on your website.

But you said

Can you provide evidence which back your claim’s?

And I’m not going to search for all those articles that were talking about bad practices of Brave Browser.

I rather think it’s bc most people didn’t do proper research, which is sadly not unusual.

If they don’t do proper research, they wouldn’t mind your comment.

But I found this article https://popzazzle.blogspot.com/2021/07/why-i-uninstalled-brave-browser.html where says:

[…] Since I believed I’d disabled all possible sources of activity bar the actual loading of DuckDuckGo (html-only version - which is a tiny load), I thought I’d have a look round for some insight. I’d disabled the telemetry, the updater, the spell-checker, the “security protection”… And yet there was still this big spike of traffic on the computer’s main network meter.

In truth I was probably going to uninstall anyway, but the unprompted activity was a final indication that Brave does not understand the meaning of privacy, or consent. […]

The part of “there was still this big spike of traffic on the computer’s main network meter” claims that Brave Browser is not that private. And you can get the same level of blocking with better alternatives than claiming Brave to be a private solution.

I’m not going to do the research for you, I already read enough to know what Brave is, and I assume that’s why you got that many downvotes on your main post here. If you want me to leave you in peace, don’t reply.

If you read others comments, they explain why Brave is not a privacy Browser. You just need to use the good and open source addons for the chromium based alternatives that provide exactly the same or even better than Brave. Brave lies pretty much.

Well, every time we ask questions we waste many liters of water (and energy, which is more heat) when you could just use a search engine to find what scientists said 30 years ago. 😆

On laptop Arch Linux with KDE because all is automatic, on gaming PC Arch Linux with i3wm because games and all runs so fast and so well.

I would say it’s almost the same, but you have less control of what your android is doing with the data it collects, I would go for https://e.foundation/e-os/ if you care about privacy. Instead, Google Drive, you will use Nextcloud.

That’s nice, for 0,50 monthly less you have more hard drive (14GB more) but you lose 2GB of RAM compared to Hetzner.

EDIT: For VPN over HTTP, you don’t need more than this.

But the act to put him on prison is a way to request the access for no longer asking. Depends on how much Pavel Durov can handle this torture.
