That’s pretty par for the course for Internet arguments in my experience. Then they get all huffy after you explain why their source doesn’t say what they claimed and try to complain that because you didn’t supply a source, they’re still right.
Indeed. The <“I’m right. There’s plenty of sources that back me up, do your own research” then fail to provide sources> crowd are my personal pet peeve.
They kind of just ignore that the crypto feature is opt-in.
The fact that the dev behind brave is a homophobe isn’t opt in though…
Also, their whole business model was (is?) just replacing ads with ads they get paid for.
Sure, but that’s opt-in. By default, it just blocks ads.
Uh… no? It just puts sponsored backgrounds when you open new tabs or windows notifications if you opt-in
It never replaced ads in websites afaik
https://ads.brave.com/
They’re not actively replacing elements on a web page, but they’re still getting paid to show you ads and you can opt in for some crypto nonsense.
Sure, so? It’s still opt-in, and by default it sends the generated crypto money to creators and websites you visit
If you don’t like it, don’t enable it? They’re pretty transparent about how it works overall
They have pretty much abandoned this feature anyways
It’s opt-in for now, how many times do we have to play this game?
I’ll keep using Firefox with uBo to actually block ads instead of a browser that’s running its own ad delivery system.
Brave has a built in ad blocker
at this point you’re just hating on brave for nothing
Sure, that sucks, but the product is good
You can’t always agree with everyone

That’s saying that he left Mozilla for that. He’s still CEO of Brave
Can’t believe this poor reading comprehension is getting upvoted.
What’s amazing is they proved themselves wrong in their own post, thinking they proved themselves right. It’s actually impressive.
Tbh kinda explains why they use Brave
You don’t see it everyday that’s for sure.

Thanks.
He left Mozilla (chased out because he’s a homophobe) and went on to found Brave, where he still remains
Ah, thank you for the clarification.
