The amount of people I see on Lemmy saying “Ugh Google is so bad with all their Chrome shenanigans! I install Brave on my own and all my family’s computers!” is honestly heartbreaking 🤦‍♂️

The thing that pushed me off of brave before joining this community was that the fonts were broken on NixOS lmao

No I had not. So thank you.

This isn't news. This has been Brave's business model from the beginning.

That would explain why Lemmy displayed it on the front page of my hot feed.
