With the number of people concerned about privacy, it is a wonder why chrome is even popular.

I personally use brave since a year, and it work like a charm.
I seen someone say Brave is not as privacy concerned as you’d think on here, with a link to some article, but I can’t remember the reason🤔
Brave likes to push BAT (and thus its own ads replacing the existing ones on the web) but it’s ultimately opt-out. Same with their analytics (which, in fairness, Firefox also does by default).
Brave doesn’t replace web ads with their ads. Their ads they show you for you to earn BAT are in a totally different area. Places like system notifications.
I don’t support Brave, but it is important that we criticize them accurately.
Brave is shady af. It’s also pretty much just Chrome.

The article you mention is about the search engine, not the browser.
So both Google and those people from the browser company can sell your data.

Brave is based on chromiun, so same shit really
Bought a new Pixel 7 Pro and wanted to use Firefox but scrolling was just so bad, lots of stuttering. Using Brave now and am very happy with it. You have to turn off some sneaky shit initially though.
What’s the sneak stuff in Brave?
They use telemetry, trying to push Brave Rewards, Brave Wallet crypto stuff, Brave News. I find that a bit sneaky of a privacy focused browser.
Firefox does exactly the same: they have a lot of telemetry, they push their own services (pocket/vpn), they are in bed with Google and evil companies such as Amazon… What’s the difference?
I did not say there was a difference, I don’t use Firefox because of the bad phone performance.
