Plug it into a HTPC, install Firefox and ublock Origin. Now you can watch YT without ads on a big screen in the living room. You’re welcome.
that is exactly what the parents will not accept, as stated by OP
Why not Brave
Because Brave is literally a spyware.
Yeah, nothing there justifies calling it spyware. By those metrics Firefox is also spyware.
It's also outdated af information.
Not the person you replied to, and I'm not calling it spyware, but the moment I saw crypto integration I immediately lost all interest in Brave as an option. I personally don't think any individual/group/org/whatever integrating crypto into their software is someone trustworthy (as mentioned my opinion), so I can understand others not trusting Brave either. Whether it does anything bad today or not.
I don't use Brave. I also don't mindlessly try to find strawman arguments not to use it. You don't need to trust the organization to use their open source software, if someone you trust audited it.
I think you're missing what I'm driving at, but that's ok, you do you.
The same site also states Firefox is also spyware. Why treat it good while treat Brave as bad?
