No, its a profit company, tried to add a crypto miner secretly to the browser. The privacy policy is hidden after 2 sites.
the thing about brave is whenever a company markets itself as privacy forward with no obvious business model/monetization strategy, it's safe to assume that, if they're not already, they will begin selling user data/ads heavily in the future. especially with brave searches lack of care towards web publisher's right not to be indexed, and Brendan eich generally being a gremlin of a human, I won't go near it. I'm not even starting with their crypto nonsense.
edit: and to the people saying they don't care what the CEO thinks just realize, by supporting the product, you support the company and in turn, the CEO. to support him means, at the very least, complicity with his views.
Well I have been looking for brave replacement on Android. Brave has been slowly degrading itself for the past 2 years with shit ton of bloat being put in the browser.
I do have FF but for some unique sites, I have to use a chromium browser. Cromite (Bromite's Fork) seems interesting for now. I will wait for it to get more stable as things like auto-fill pass don't work and more.
I'm using Firefox & Brave Search which is kinda ironic. I'm open to other suggestions if anybody can recommend anything close to Google and with good support for searches in other languages (I speak Polish)
Is there a better option on iOS?
Aside from Safari, there’s DuckDuckGo or Firefox. But iOS browsers are all built on Apple’s architecture
Being a chromium skin is a business decision. I don't like it, but at least I understand the thought process. The crypto stuff however? No thanks. That's when I take my business elsewhere.
