Sorry you got downvoted. Once again people are downvoting positive posts about Brave blindly.
It's no coincidence that the only open source browser that actually blocks ads is the one that gets downvoted all the time. Meanwhile people are dead silent when someone recommends a fully closed source chrome alternative that makes money from search tracking. ๐ค
Gnome web blocks ads, and getting an adblocking extension on Firefox forks is super easy
What browser are you talking about here?
Vivaldi
But this whole discussion was started by a highly upvoted comment that says: "But why vivaldi of all things?", followed by the poster explaining in further detail why they don't think it's a good choice. That's "dead silent"?
The votes, not the replies. There's a bunch of silent lurkers on here who just browse for comments on brave to downvote them.
Lol I can't see downvotes on the client I'm using (Sync). Let them be angry, Funnily enough I've seen people on r/browsers compile full on Indexes on why you shouldn't use Brave and include shit like โ๏ธ๐ค This one time Brave trolled Firefox by running an advertisment* in it. Like goddamn bro I'm not gonna take you seriously if you include shit like that ๐คฃ
