Of course it affects the average user, if nothing else then by showing that the browser can't be trusted.

If the people making the browser is willing to alter the Web pages people visit to steal money once, what makes you think they aren't willing to do so again for any number of reasons?

It was a comment on your claim that brave is a great product.

Straight up scamming their users is in my opinion not something that is done by "great products".

Other examples is that Web browser that added their own referral code when users bought stuff on a crypto exchange. Oops, that was brave as well.

Or that one that installed a paid vpn service during an update, without user consent.

You guessed it, brave that as well.

They stole money by adding donation links to content creators pages, then didn't give the donated money to the creators.

This has nothing to do with browser.

This is an android thing.

Why "especially if you're not i the US"?

I'm not in the US, and switched to kobo a couple of years ago, but i've had to keep buying books from amazon, sine the kobo store is just realy bad (missing a lot of books, even popular once), and there are few others who offer ebooks here.

The quality of the devices seem not the greatest either.

Bought a kobo libra first and it lasted just long enough for the warranty to expire before it just fully died. Replaced it with a kobo libra colour, and had to replace it three times before I got one that didn't have pin holes on the screen where light shone through.

Meanwhile my 9 year old kindle oasis works just fine, it has just gotten slow and the battery is worse, which is why I replaced it with kobo.

Well fuck... Guess i'll need too look at what is available for ebook downloads i my arr stack to get books for my kobo.

The kobo store is mostly useless, and there are limited options available for buying ebooks here, so amazon has been the best option for likely finding what i was looking for.

There are plenty of EVs in the arctic of Norway.

I the antarctic, where the south pole is, there is limited electric production, so it is easier to use ICE vehicles.

Norways crude oil product amount to less than 2.5% of the global production.

People don't seem to complain as much about the US who produces just over 16%, or Russia at about 14%.

They do complain a lot about Saudi Arabia who are also at 14%
