From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Be aware that Brave is essentially a scam and there are other privacy-focused browsers that might suit your needs.
Nah brave is fine. Just disable the crypto stuff like everyone else
I do not trust the CEO, the company, or the product. Here are a couple links, I'm certain there are more:
Wasn't aware of that last one, thats not great..
Im not married to brave and would switch if i found something better, but the first two points seem like a non-issue to me tbh. The auto complete is coming from their free search engine. What do you think happens when a service with ongoing costs is free?
As for the second one, I did mention to just turn off all the crypto stuff... The way they do it is fairly common with general donations elsewhere anyway.
I just find brave works well on all my devices, and has a good cross device sync. Nothing else I have tried could match it.
What's wrong with Firefox? They've been around a long time and are currently in a good spot as far as speed/compatibility goes
I have tried it out a few times in the last couple of years and inevitably run into sites that just won't work with it. Especially at work. I keep hoping it gets better, but it never seems to.
I can understand that. Given even edge runs a modified chromium if I recall correctly, everything is being developed for that. I use edge since its built in when sites aren't working, which isn't often for me. That said, on my work laptop, I use exclusively edge.
