I think we need all support we can get to fight Google on this, so I welcome Brave here actually.

When Google chrome was released in 2008, I read about it in a tech magazine and it described how much it’s going to be spying on you. I was immediately put off by it, and decided not to install it. At the time I wondered why would anyone ever install this junk. Oh boy, was I in for a surprise! Pretty much everyone installed it, and within the next 10 years chrome had become the most popular browser.

Obviously, I never switched from FF.

Imagine if everyone started using a browser made by an advertising company, such that they pretty much had complete control of the way we use and view the web.

Better yet, imagine a social gathering place where people are encouraged to share everything about themselves, but the place is actually tun by an advertising company. Oh what, that actually happened.
