anyone believing brave is good for privacy is quite naive
It's good for privacy from the websites you visit, from itself is up for debate though lol

the crypto and the asshole ceo aside, nobody should trust a browser that claims to respect privacy that's based on chromium.
What's wrong with ungoogled-chromium? Or Vivaldi?
ultimately they're still chromium and they still contribute to chrome's dominance.
Okay, but that's not a privacy reason.
It is still a privacy reason. You are still contributing to googles plans to dominate and control the internet by using a chromium product its a privacy threat, and an everything else threat too.

Vivaldi sends an unstoppable user counter signal to their main server, promised to change the system and now they're ignoring any requests for updates on the issue.
That rustles my Jimmies, dings my bell and waves my red flags.

Don't forget about the fact that a while back they secretly whitelisted Facebook trackers in their adblocker to "make pages run more smoothly" they got a lot of shit for it when people found out looking through the source code. When I heard that they did that it basically cemented in my mind that they were shady and untrustworthy, that's in addition to the Crypto and rewards stuff.
Brave search allows misinformation goggles for anyone that believes 2 + 2 = 5.
Of course Brave would so something like this. This isn't surprising whatsoever. It's still horrible they're even choosing to enable this whatsoever.
Edit: I just checked what kind of shit they pull up on Transgender issues when using those goggles. It's as bad as I thought it would be. Fuck Brave for enabling this garbage.

I mean Daily Mail should set off an alarm for any sentient being.
Am I misunderstanding something? That's what I would expect to see from any search engine when you search for "vaccines" and "news from the right".

Oh boy, I shared the spacebar news article a year ago or so and was hit by a shitstorm of indignant comments.
