No, after Brave installed a service level running VPN without my consent, and continued to reinstall it silently every background update even after removal, it's a bad browser. That's what malware does.
Comparing two companies with poor track records doesn't make them good companies when compared to each other.
Yesterday I just installed Braze due to the loading speed on Tor that takes up to minutes to even load a site, I thought Braze would be a bit balanced between speed performance and privacy.
However, I instantly regret once I chose to import data from Chrome to Braze in a blink, I realize they are the same. But I don't know any substitute browser available for better speed while respecting privacy. Tor is great on that but takes time. Any recommendation? Should I uninstall Braze?
