Look at the product not the creator. Oh wait the product is also ass
Braves adblock is the only technology I know of that gets through the EFF fingerprinting test while still providing a usable experience.
Not worth all the ads and crypto shenanigans though
To be fair tests will always be biased. Also both Librewolf and Mull pass for me.
Brave is my backup for Firefox. I simply never signed up for bat and removed the icon from the bar.
I'm sure they're collecting and will sell my information to anybody that will pay, But that information will be less reaching than Microsoft or Google, their fingerprinting against other sites is very good so it's probably limiting my exposure more Even though they're also a broker. How I keep them around for the ad blocking alone, they actually have a team of paid developers to keep YouTube and browser ads at bay, they're also doing the ad blocking in the core application instead of the plugins so it's not something that can be easily bypassed.
Every single post about ad blockers will be someone talking about how "good" Brave is. Drives me crazy.
It is fairly popular these days which gives me hope. The fact that people are willing to give up Chrome is a very good sign.
Honestly the custom Firefox browsers are the best option but they are less well known and harder to use and understand. The great part about Brave is that it just works.
