I have not once seen a picture like this, and "guide" ones, that doesn't have several glaring issues.
This one started really good, then brave pops up, then proton, then AI....
Why is it so fucking hard to look up the stuff you're using? How are you aware of several of these that are not well known yet somehow not aware of how bad brave is? It's just so weird every single time.
What's wrong with proton? I've heard it tries to misslead people indirectly into making them think proton is non for profit but I believe the services themselves are fine.
There's a whole section for controversies: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proton_Mail
I’m assuming it’s because of that one time the Proton CEO endorsed or appeared to endorse Trump. If it’s more than that I’m interested in the answer too.
oh-
Brave is fine.
For the record it’s not. It’s a chrome variant with a crypto bro ad company skin on top.
