What's the sneak stuff in Brave?
They use telemetry, trying to push Brave Rewards, Brave Wallet crypto stuff, Brave News. I find that a bit sneaky of a privacy focused browser.
Thanks for getting back to me. The rewards was why I signed up. Welp.
Hadn't used Firefox in ages. Stuck it back on asking with uBlock. Quite liking how it blocks pages from jumping to an app.
I just need to work out how override it when I actually do occasionally want to follow a link to the playstore!
Firefox does exactly the same: they have a lot of telemetry, they push their own services (pocket/vpn), they are in bed with Google and evil companies such as Amazon... What's the difference?
I did not say there was a difference, I don't use Firefox because of the bad phone performance.
