Warning to all Brave Browser Users

Blocking variations.brave.com which is used for A/B testing could potentially break Brave's functionalities. For me did Brave's "forgetful browsing" feature broke which seems to be disabled by default if you block this domain.

So #Kagi is now partnering with #Brave, i.e. the company of Brendan Eich, who has been CEO at Mozilla for eleven days before he had to leave due to massive criticism of his homophobic views. Brave's most well-known product is a browser with its own cryptocurrency, co-designed by Eich.

A feedback post asking Kagi to reconsider has been closed by Kagi's founder Vladimir Prelovac because "Considering company x founder political views is not a factor in [their] evaluation".

"I use Brave Browser, it has almost no ads."

Oh, ya?

I use Mozilla Firefox with uBlock Origin and Privacy Badger, and I have NO ads. -- Anywhere.

You cannot use a chromium based browser and expect no ads. Chromium is designed to defeat ad-blockers. It's why if you install uBlock, not all the options are available. -- It is also why you sometimes still see ads on YouTube or run into the anti-ad message.

Only 1 browser is ad free - Mozilla Firefox.

Good news! Brave for Android now let's u use your favorite uBlock Origin Blocklists!

Under Settings > Brave Shields & privacy

Can you now add custom filterlists and edit Brave's default selection of the already avaible filterlists. Some of you now that this was possible before too (via brave://adblock) but at this time it had no UI and wasn't a official feature, now you can easily add, remove and customize fiterlists via the the settings.

Brave Browser -vs- Firefox on Android.

Brave cannot block even the publicly known and basic ads and trackers.

See for yourself: https://d3ward.github.io/toolz/adblock.html

Brave: 25% of the ads and trackers sneak by.

Firefox: 0% can sneak by —100% blocked.

The reality is you cannot trust chromium bace browsers. Only 1 web browser can block ads and that is, Mozilla Firefox.

If you're not using Mozilla Firefox, as your web browser, you are likely using spyware and adware, known as Chromium.

Fingerprinting-Testseiten suggerieren oft, dass man eindeutig erkennbar ist. Das ist allerdings nicht entscheidend, sondern ob man über Surf-Sessions hinweg wiedererkennbar/verfolgbar ist. Der Tor-Browser, Mull oder auch Brave schneiden hierbei gut ab. Am Ende gilt aber auch: Lasst euch nicht verrückt machen. 😉

Any of you using the #Brave #search. What do you think? I just switched yesterday because #DuckDuckGo got a lot worse after Microsoft downmodded Wikipedia in #Bing (probably to make space for their shitty "AI"). So far it seems pretty good in general but very poor for local things here in Sweden.

Switched my #browser from #Chrome and #Brave to #Vivaldi.

Why?

  1. Not Chrome: I don’t like the—any—connection between Chrome and Google’s advertising business, not one bit

  2. Chromium: Still there are many advantages to using a Chromium browser (which Vivaldi is)

  3. Europe: Europe (where @Vivaldi is based) offers better legal and consumer protections than the U.S.

So, yeah, I'm still on . And I think I will stay. I unchecked any telemetry that I could. I use , with extensions. I use I use with family. I do what I can for and

I must say that Windows as a desktop is full of little things that make life easier. I even like it more than MacOS. Linux is great, but I often felt that GNOME or any other desktop was holding with gaffer tape. No tomatoes please. 🍅😎

Been switching from #Brave browser to @Vivaldi & so far it's been good.

Had to switch the address bar to the bottom on the Android mobile browser to get rid of that stupid redundant tab bar & that's taking some adjustment on my part. But so far I'm liking #Vivaldi on both Android & desktop #Linux. 👍

Some nice customization options.

#Brave's in-browser AI assistant, Leo, is now available for testing in the Nightly desktop channel. The AI, based on Meta's #Llama 2 model, offers interactive features such as video transcripts, article summaries, and reading assistance.

Ultimamente sto ricominciando ad usare invece di come browser principale. Lo faccio un po' a malincuore, perché so bene che il browser di rappresenta l'ultima speranza per un web aperto e indipendente. Tuttavia come @filippodb ha spesso sottolineato, Brave è effettivamente più efficiente in termini di risorse e la mia esperienza di questi giorni gli dà ragione. La mia batteria si consuma molto più lentamente quando uso Brave.

#BraveBrowser is installing VPNs without users' consent, even if you didn't willingly enable their #VPN service. Just stop using #Brave, it's garbage.

Edit: the services are disabled by default, but they were still installed with very little to no transparency about them towards the user, alongside all the other stuff that's often unwanted from Brave users (Pocket on Firefox is to blame too, lol.)

Anyone using #Orion on #Mac & #iOS? If so, what’s the good, bad and ugly about it all?

Note: I don’t want to get into a debate about the whole #Brave thing, or recommendations for other browsers. Thx.
