I don't know much about brave except that its chromium based and apparently removes web ads as its main feature. Why are they running ads? Why do I keep getting this browser recommended? How the fuck do they make money to be able to target me with this info? Something is off and I don't like it. I feel like the pressure to use brave isnt coming to me organically so I'm staying clear of it. I just have a bad feeling and I'll trust my gut on this.

Because they "reward" people with crypto for watching ads so a lot of cryptobro assholes have financial interest in the browser getting more popular.

Also the CEO is homophobic and right-wing so it speaks to a lot of loud assholes.
