But the comments where not removed by mods. It seems like the commenter removed them.

Brave is known to take privacy (and security) more seriously than its contenders. It's therefore unsurprising to find it recommended by Privacy Guides.

At least in the privacy community, Brave isn’t super popular. It feels more geared towards the "hyped crypto early adopters". Brave inclusion in privacy guides has always been controversial.

Brave is ultimately an advertising company, they base their business model in ads. And everyone knows how bad that can turn.

Ungoogled Chromium on the other hand takes patches from brave and other Chromium based browsers, removing every bit of telemetry and giving you the cleanest experience you can get on Chromium, without relying on a shady company.

the day I don't find a provider with IMAP support is the day I'll leave email for good. You won't force me to use your absurdly bloated and full of telemetry web clients or your incompatible encryption.

OpenPGP + NeoMutt has been my email workflow for 10 years now.

sure, a company that has used petabytes of data they do not own any rights of to train their models are totally excluding their own customers data when turning a switch off.

yeah, I totally trust OpenAI and Microsoft with my data. It's not like Microsoft is spying on me after turning of Windows telemetry either.

the architecture doesn't contain something like Intel ME. but it's MIT licensed and if Qualcomm, AMD or Intel decides to produce RISC-V chips they could (and probably will) use proprietary extensions and even include a ME-like coprocessor which locks down the whole thing.

it's trivial to mass convert mobi to a widely supported format. I think this is a welcomed change, because Amazon was the only one on the industry still promoting a legacy format like mobi, even if they tried to start moving on with their newer formats.

no need for that! people can just take an apk and slap ads or malware on top. they do it all the time with fake candy crush apks. So I'm pretty sure they won't care about this license.

I think that in this case it's just a excuse so no one is redistributing the app and they can make money from it.

Still no CoreBoot support, so it's a hard pass for me. I wish they worked on it, they promised it back in 2020.

No centralized services, please. I'd vote for either XMPP or SimpleX. IRC will also work for me.

Should be useful for phones with unlockable bootloader.
