What’s wrong with it?

At least part owned by the blood drinking nazi who owns palantir.

So absolutely do not trust.

I use 5 different browsers including brave, each have their strengths.

All the technical points mentioned there are not really relevant to me, because I turned off that other stuff.

Would I trust it with my really sensitive data? No. Do I have respect for the people behind the browser? Some of them are ok, some not. Honestly, using American tech it’s hard to swing a cat around in a room and not hit a nazi

But when it’s better than the Firefox forks or Chrome, I see no reason not to use it for those use cases. It does its job well.

You dont need to explain. You can use whatever you want. Freedom of choice. Im just providing the answer for your question.

Right and I’m saying it’s ok to boycott based on toxic people ; but there is no technical reason to avoid this one

If you want to boycott based in toxic personality... well, >20 years in the industry have told me that you will be stuck using an abacus if you go by this...

I personally boycott based on toxic organizations. Most organizations have toxic people. But some people really hate this guy, because he is a troll
