Its better than Chrome, Edge, and any other proprietary spyware browser
Firefox based browsers exits and if you need chromium based there are also other degooled browser available.
Gaba degool
True but don't you think brave is better than chrome?
In the same way that I think 3rd degree burns are better than 4th degree burns
I think you mean 3rd degree burns compared to second degree burns but I get what you are saying
? 4th degree burn is a real thing
True but its basicly the same as 3rd degree burn. You will basicly never see it in the field
You mean how chrome and brave are basically the same thing, even if one is technically worse?
I don't know anymore
Now you’re just being pedantic

Yes, but when good options exist, why give thought to which bad option is less bad?
Because we need less google control. Also brave is pretty user friendly
Firefox is the good option. It is not controlled by Google.
Brave is chromium based, which gives Google control over web standards.
Yeah but they add other tracking to it and all the crypto bs. And im not keen on sponsoring a company which has a ceo who supports anti-gay politicians financially and then denies it.
sort of
Check out Vivaldi then.
It falls in the proprietary category
Didn't they announce that they are source available?
Its still not Foss. Unless its under a free software license its a hard no for me.
At least its not chrome though
