Why are you projecting your FUD, and doing your le lion work in a privacy community of all places? Oh nevermind you are a Brave user with a new Lemmy account.
Tor Project does not recommend Brave or use Chromium/Blink engine as its base, so there goes that. And Tor users are sensitive people, where in a lot of cases any amount of tracking can be a difference between life and death, or being arrested as an activist. For me, it could easily sometimes mean being shoved into a jail for months.
Brave Browser funded by DoD makes sense, considering the shill army that exists across reddit, Telegram, Matrix and other networks for its micro userbase. And of course, Peter Thiel and Palantir involvement should make anyone cautious before using it.
Brave is an absolute crypto botnet, with a bunch of telemetry that does not go away either way, as the link provided by me above shows. Nothing can defend that, not in a browser designed for privacy. If you do not want to use Crypto Wallet botnet, and BAT system, why not just use Ungoogled Chromium at that point?
I am not even getting into the rest half of your BS comment, which revolves around junk crypto coins. You spreading this level of FUD and trapping people into Brave should scare everyone.
Stay away from this user's scammy advice, folks. Please stay away from Brave BATware. Use Firefox, Pale Moon or Ungoogled Chromium only. Use uBlock Origin medium/hard mode and a good HOSTS ruleset.
