Don't use brave.
I don't, but why?
It's Peter thiel's browser.
Oh BARF
Not in here, mister! This is a mercedes!
Uhm excuse me, it's miss, thank you.
barfing noises
Apologies, I was referencing a silly movie

Oh shit I totally missed the reference, and I just recently watched that movie, oops!
Isn't that for dogs?
This offends a lot of Mozilla stans, but Firefox isn't much better.
They have similar links to shady people, often the same shady people... That includes two friends of Jeffrey Epstein.
And Mozilla still engages in discrimination today.

Lol underrepresented in technology get the f outta here
People here went from "Brave is problematic" to "haha unnecessary layoffs" in no time flat. What's with the performative cruelty all of a sudden?
Just because you close your eyes and imagine how you want the world to be doesn't make it the Truth son now go brush your teeth.
Counterpoint, some websites behave better on chromium so using brave as last resort is not as bad.
Use literally any other chrome based browser.
I haven’t found one that blocks YouTube ads as well as brave does on iPhone.
Yes, I do have uBlock
Vivaldi seems to block adds well to iOS too.
Really the best I've found is 1blocker for Safari, but I got that when the lifetime version was a only few dollars. (Imagine subscribing to an ad-blocker! - but than again, how many people donate to ublock?).
Vivaldi's ad blocker is really subpar compared to Brave or uBO. I tried using it for a while, and you have to tamper with filter lists (including disabling pre-approved advertisers) and it still fails in areas Brave doesn't.
Have you tried adblocker extensions for Safari?

So which browser would you recommend? It looks like Firefox is the only one not based on Chromium
Firefox has some very good forks including Waterfox (pretty normal) and LibreWolf (pretty privacy-hardened out of the box and may require a little Settings menu tweaking to make normal).
It's unfortunate, but at the end of the day you kind of have to bite the bullet and accept that you will be using something downstream of something bad, e.g. Google (Chrome forks) or their money (Firefox is funded not by donations but by them).
Chrome forks aren't just tainted by Google's money; they're tainted by Google's power. Prefer a Firefox-derived browser if you care about web standards.
@Solumbran@lemmy.world thoughts? Or was there another criticism you had in mind
