A lot of things were wrong during covid. For example, I'm now convinced of the lab leak theory, having thought of it as a right wing conspiracy for too long. Polarized politics clouds our judgement on both sides. Yes, there were and are a lot of right wing loons, but that doesn't mean they were wrong about everything.

They never really protested any rights, they were doing a performative demonstration showing them to be a part of the conservative crowd.

None of them ever gave a fuck about not spreading a deadly disease. Fuck them

How about regulation? Let's start with saying data about me belongs to me, not to whoever collected the data, as is currently the case

Chelsea Manning tho. Only non-scummy instance I can think of right now

None of that affects the average user. I'm talking about the experience as a browser. No ads, popups, cookie walls, newsletter signup, none of that. Much better than I've seen with Firefox plugins. I don't use their VPN or crypto, it doesn't affect me at all. Crypto is always shady but it's a choice to engage with that, and they do make it easy to avoid completely

Haha, that's quite alright. I knew I wasn't going to win a popularity contest here, I just enjoy Brave for what it does and I wish uBlock Origin was just as good

That doesn't make it a bad product. I've never interacted with any of the crypto or donation stuff. You go into settings, click "no thanks" and are never bothered by any of that ever again. So no, these stories people repeat ad nauseam don't take away anything from the product. Why don't other people demand better from the alternatives? If there is one better than Brave at fighting popups and stuff, I'm all for it

I don't know what that has to do with my question? I am not defending anything like that

You can assume people here know what waterfall and the V model are.

I have more problems with uBlock Origin breaking the website. Also, it doesn't block other elements such as cookie walls and news letter signup garbage.

Regardless of the CEO, Brave is a great product. The crypto stuff is easy to turn off. Fantastic ad blocking, rarely any problems. What is the best alternative with great ad blocking?

Fuck spez

'quietly'

I agree we should probably use a different term for that,

That's literally all I said. I know what it means

Can we all please notice how under capitalism, you can refer to people being 'worth' a dollar amount? Money is something you have, it says nothing about who you are. I'm fine with having an amount of wealth, but your worth is not measured in dollars, that's fucked

They killed Roe v Wade already.
