    I personally disagree with homophobia but setting that entirely aside, Brave browser sucks, all the cool kids like Vivaldi now, and they’re right

        Sometimes I’d prefer a polished product from a company with customers they expect to satisfy rather than a janky free product with ads. Their Leo AI and VPN, though it’s not something most people want, makes it more likely that Brave will have someone to be accountable for

        ‘Open source’ doesn’t mean anything to me unless it’s also audited by third party experts, not just talking about Brave right now but just generally. The company can literally just lie about what you’re clicking on, an educated expert who knows what they’re talking about needs to audit the software, I might not understand or see something in the code. At the end of the day you’re clicking on something from a website and downloading it.
