It gets my goat that people think it’s a good option. There are plenty of articles explaining some of the many issues with it, but a few are:

  1. It’s run by anti-LGBTQ+ crypto bros.
  2. It has ads right out of the box.
  3. It collected donations towards people who never signed up for them - then held them to ransom in exchange for the kind of information you should never share on the Internet.
  4. They’re a for-profit advertising company. “Privacy-centric” my elbow.

    Well I’d argue that with the changes to Manifest, Brave is actually one of your stronger options if chrome is a must have.

    If you don’t need chrome, Firefox (or a fork) with ublock is enough for most.
