After reading this, will you continue using Brave Browser?
Brave has lost credibility many times. Let us count the ways. Never made their browser fully open source so it can be packaged for free software Linux distros. Lied about Bing results and data sharing with Microsoft. Got caught leaking client fingerprints on certain sites that they shared data with, to make users identifiable, even in Incognito and Tor modes. Got caught fudging their BAT token opt in to rip off creators and enrich Brave corp instead. Caught censoring and manipulating search results, under the influence of Microsoft. Now using client browser data to train some potentially dangerous AI. Do not use Brave. They have finally lost all their credibility. https://stackdiary.com/brave-selling-copyrighted-data-for-ai-training/
Brave - Spyware Watchdog: all the feature included to spy on your browsing https://spyware.neocities.org/articles/brave
Are you kidding me? After all the promises and the hype, this is what Brave has come to? Data collection, telemetry, and whatnot? It's infuriating to see such potential squandered. We were promised a browser that respects privacy, not one that sneaks around in the shadows!
And to add insult to injury, they have the audacity to cloak their actions under the guise of "features" and "improvements." It's like watching Anakin Skywalker succumb to the Dark Side all over again. We didn't sign up for this. We wanted a Jedi Knight, not Darth Vader.
To Brave, I say: "This is not the browser we were looking for." We deserve better, and we won't be fooled by the dark arts of data collection. The Force is strong with the users, and we will find a way to resist.

Where is the bitcoin only browser? 😩
reply
We will skip them and go straight to Nostr browsers. It’s inevitable.
reply
There are NOSTR browsers?
reply
The first of many
reply
It never meant to be. They just used the word bitcoin to fool users.
reply
Not sure if anyone uses it, though.

Impervious 👀

FF with multi-containers, so all cookies/session are sandboxed for sites where you are logged in. Mullvad Browser with no extension for everything else.
That's it. Period.
reply
I love the multi container plugin on FF. Lets me keep stuff seperate and in one window.
reply
Is there any way to open a container whenever i enter specific site instead of having to create a container first and then typing the site?
reply
Left to the "bookmark Star" icon in the address bar, click on the containers symbol "Always open this site in ...". I have many containers per category, and each container has no more than 4 sites at once ...
reply
Doesn't seem to work on LibreWolf, i click on that container symbol and nothing happens.
reply
If you are a Bitcoiner and you use Brave browser who has a shitcoin built-in, then you are a fake.
reply
Exact reason I stopped using Brave. It is a tweaked version of Firefox, Safari, Tor Browser for me now.
reply
I quit using brave after they screwed up my bats and I couldn't withdrawl to an external wallet. So I have since quit joing the "bat" program.
reply
Yeah, the BAT rewards is totally a scam. If you cannot use an external wallet your BAT earnings get eaten by exchange fees. I gave up on them for the same reason. I was still using the browser because of the effectiveness of their ad blocking system. With what I see on this thread its bye-bye brave.
reply
Totally inexcusable
reply
I recommend LibreWolf.
reply
Take a look at the Mullvad Browser. The tagline is tor browser hardening but with a vpn instead of Tor. They don't lock you into their vpn, and you can use it without one too. It is also open source Tor has also benefitted from the project
reply
How about Firefox or Mullvad? I like to use different browsers for different things.
Tor is great, but it's too slow for daily things.
reply
We should compare LibreWolf vs Mullvad browser because both are based on Firefox
reply
first time I heard LibreWolf:) and checking...
I just found this #190879
reply
yes, I was precisely looking for this website: https://privacytests.org

That BAT token always shouted out loud
"We're shady people, we might do shady things"
reply
hmm, interesting attack on Brave. I wonder that the other browsers are not mentioned, and their bad practices. I am sure they are much holier and worthy of our juicy web data.
reply
Sure, I would love to have sources as juicy as this one for other browsers. You are welcome to publish them here.
reply
I really don't the the utility of BAT if you can't withdraw to an external wallet or there is no use other than holding it. LibreWolf is the way to go.
reply
I asked a friend in tech and the machine ai learning is true for brave, but its also true for all other ai platforms. The data is anonymous and is melted with millions of other datasets to train the ai. Brave isn't spying on users to keep data on you in a shady place, its training its ai model.
reply
There must of been a reason why they even call it Brave. Is this the why I'm getting snail ads everytime I'm researching them?
reply
Damn it man, I use brave exclusively . now I need to spend hours looking for an alternative .......
reply
Let's hunt!
reply
Do you have any suggestions? What about CryptoTab browser?
reply
What browser do you recommend? Is Brave worse than Chrome? Or lesser of the two evils?
reply
Neither of both. Lesser one would be Chromium. Back in the days before Chrome existed, I liked Opera because the features they provided where more advanced than any other browser. In the 2015 era, I noticed Opera developers quit and started a new browser Vivaldi. From this moment I switched to Vivaldi because the devs continue to improve and add new features. Personally, I like that passowrds are encrypted using zero knowledge to sync securely with mobile. I use tab stacks, workspaces, adblocking at the core. It's fast and private and you can install any extensions from the chrome ecosystem.
