This post reminded me to try out Brave. It's based on Chromium but purports to block ads and trackers...
Anybody else use it?
Edit: Interesting. Anyone care to explain the downvotes? I know nothing about this browser other than it purportedly blocks Youtube ads, which are driving me nuts.
Edit2: Well shit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brendan_Eich
I had no idea about this guy. Ok, so completely not an option.
No I'm pro lgbtq folks having rights
How does this relate to Brave browser?
Edit: I had no idea about the CEO. So yeah, not gonna ever use that.
yep :(
very disappointing all round. on a sliding scale thats not the worst thing brave has done, but given that the entire browser was literally birthed from "we don't want your hate here" its hard to avoid.
