Microblog Memes

I used to use brave when I just started becoming privacy aware. Here are the reasons why:

• it's chromium based. I loved the way chromium based browsers looked, especially when compared to Firefox. They had a comforting feel to them, whereas Firefox had a very "office-ey" feel to it.
• I wasn't aware of the issues of chromium dominating the market share that it does and how monopolization in this manner can be harmful.
• I wasn't aware of the people behind brave.
• I had seen older people use Firefox (with the default UI, which I didn't like). That's why, I associated Firefox with "old and outdated". I hadn't seen anyone use brave, and it looked quite good at the time for me.

Now, I use Mercury, a Firefox fork (ikik, it hasn't seen an update in a long time, shush). I've loaded it up with my custom CSS, so its appearance is exactly the way I like.

I trust Brave, because privacy guides trusts brave. It has a great in built adblocker and apparently the default privacy settings of any browser. I believe crypto, AI, all that other stuff is opt in, it's opensource as well. Considering chromium is the best at sandboxing and security for mobile, what other options do people have?

Peter Theil is the primary investor in Brave.

For those not in the know, Peter Theil is a MAGA Christian-Nationalist fascist, and owner of Palantir.

Palantir, is the military industrial complex company Trump has entrusted to create a mass surveillance network on US citizens, completely against the 4th Amendment, and dwarfing the NSA spying that was exposed by Snowden.

You can garuntee any activity you do in Brave is being tracked and sent to that network.

Literally just use Firefox for Android with uBlock. People act like this is difficult.
