You Really Should Stop Using Brave Browser

2023-07-24T21:07:28Z

reminder for everyone who may have missed it the last few times

the only reason that brave browser exists is because its ceo was kicked from mozilla for being a homophobe & transphobe

by contuing to use that software you are activity supporting and promoting a company that not only hates lgbtqia+ people but was born out of that bigotry

brave browser is also filled with many not very cool things everything from cryptocurrency scams to link redirection to so much more

there are tones of other chromium , webkit , or firefox based browsers that do can do most everything that brave browser can do or more in terms of "privacy" and just as much or more on terms of useability

please i urge anyone who cares enough about these things to have installed brave in the first place to migrate form brave to something better

heres some good alternatives to try

firefox , chromium , librewolf , ungoogled-chromium , gnone web, kde falkon , qutebrowser , tor browser, thats just a few tho id mostly suggest one of either ff, ch, lw, unch

To reiterate the points:

Brave is by homophobes
Brave is by transphobes
Brave is by anti-LGBTQIA+
Brave promotes a cryptocurrency (which Drew has already established on why it's bad)
Options are out there. Brave is not the only web browser in the entire existence of this world (although the amount of independent web engines is a very major concern).
