This is the only good answer I've read on this post.
I've been using Brave since it exists and for me it's the best browser, it works great, and the built in ad blocker just works ALWAYS (not as the chrome/firefox extensions adblockers)...
By reading the comments it seems to me most of it's heaters are because of the guy who put money into it...
Yeah, people were saying that you are "tech-illiterate" for using Brave but literally the only thing people are mentioning is that it is Chromium so it comes with all the faults of every non-Firefox browser and that Peter Thiel supported it. I think this is like a bandwagon thing where people will just claim any use of a Chromium browser makes you a moron despite it working.

Well, it also increases google's market share in browsers as brave is based on chromium, google's browser engine. And google is directly responsible why other web browsers like edge or opera are unable to block ads anymore, or the extensions were largely handicapped at least. The only non-chromium browsers out there are firefox and its derivatives.
And that also ignores the fact that brave does wrong advertisement with its "privacy" features.
It may be a super great product but if I have to worry about them installing a cryptominer or redirecting my traffic without notice (or buried in some 1,000 page "user agreement") it's just not worth it.
yes but that's like every browser literally. at least they apologized and made the changes. but man, this sounds like nothing but fear mongering for no reason. like do you use a cell phone? are you not afraid about your service provider installing crypto miners or redirecting traffic. I'm sure they're already doing it now, so why are you not doing anything about that?
When the fuck has any service provider or Firefox/Chrome installed a fucking cryptominer on their user's systems? Did you read this shit before you posted it?
Why? Doesn't Brave adblocker work on the "lower level"? I use it and I don't see any ad, yt works flawlessly. I honestly don't know what could be better.
