A recent discussion about the many reasons Brave is probably the browser you want/expected
after reading it I have to rethink my whole life decision now. I may have made a fatal mistake. my life may be a mistake. brave browser has betrayed, and disappointed me in so much ways. please end my pain.
Breathe and cool down, the world is not falling apart just yet.. though that's coming sooner or later. Did you invest significant resources into Brave or other cryptoscams? If so, are you willing to run the bet, knowing it's a pure speculation game and there's more chances you'll loose your investment than make a fortune? Otherwise, can you get out of the system easily and without loosing too much?
We all make bad decisions sooner or later. It's even easier to make bad decisions when we're bombarded by contracting information, especially advertisement (and Brave has been really active on that front). You should not hate yourself for making a bad call, but learn from your mistake so you don't repeat it.
In a capitalist society, there's no such thing as free money. Investments is only profitable if you have enough millions to diversify your investment ; for people like you and me, it's mathematically-ensured we'll loose (almost) everything. Remember when 1929 was the biggest and last crisis because the system would become more resilient? Yeah they've been playing that card for that long, if not longer...
Anyway don't hesitate if you have more questions, and don't trust advertisements for revolutionary concepts in the future. "The revolution will not be televised" said the revolutionary slogan. A modern take on it could be "The revolution won't be advertised". Take care
I just, I didn't use it for crypto or anything. I'm disappointed that this would be a genuinely private browser. turns out it was cringe. I'm going to use librewolf.
