Was reading an answer to the question about fresh Amazon tablet and saw this. They used up the question as a hook to promote their browser. Pretty sure I'm avoiding Brave from now on.
Q: Does the fire max 11 have YouTube app on it. A: I have installed Google Playstore , but I skip installing Youtube app . There is better option . Brave Browser in Playstore !! That thing has AWESOME popup Blocker and it's own integrated Youtube Ads and other Nuisances blocker . My point ? You don't need youtube on Fire max , You don't need Google Maps , You don't need Facebook App . Just Use Brave .
This is the first time I heard about this. Was using it in the past on iOS, but I’m now using an extension in safari to block ads. What exactly is wrong with Brave?
They were using crypto miners in Brave (now it's just opt-out optional I think), altering search result's, and also something about their CEO being a weirdo I think. And also all this dirty advertising and tactics. They're just shady all around.
There was never a miner in Brave. Their legitimate crypto related features have always been optional. They did add referal links in some urls though
There you go, and that’s why nobody should believe the commenter you replied to without him providing sources. Shame 10 people already agreed with him.
