>Brave is going to charge $60 for users who don't want "revenue-generating features like VPN and [netzero-style] ads" built into their browser>it will require tying your browser to your real life identity via an account, allowing all your internet activity to be tied to youare we going back to firefox?
>>108984085If you're unfortunate enough to be on Windows then just use Winutil to de-bloat regular Brave and get Brave Origin.If you're on GNU/+Linux then just download Brave Origin for FREE.If you're on macOS then go brush your teeth because your breath smells like cum.Simple as, stop seething.
>>108984114>If you're unfortunate enough to be on Windows then just use Winutil to de-bloat regular Brave and get Brave Origin.Yeah or use a competent browser like Firefox or Vivaldi instead, and ublock origin. Never have dealt with this scummy jeetware in my life and never will.
>>108984137this
>free for Linux>not GNU/Linux
>>108984085I never move away from browsers fully, I add to an evergrowing suite of browsersbrave will likely exit it if it gets rid of its one defining gimmick (admittedly its a nice gimmick but not one that isnt replicateable for free with minimal effort)
>>108984085Why do people even use this meme browser? Firefox + ublock just werks.
>>108984085If anyone is actually thinking of doing this, at least use the BRAVE33 promo code, you'll get like 30% off or something
>>108984085I have used brave for a long time and can't even remember where these ads appear.
I don't really think there's anything wrong with charging for the browser, but tying your Odentification to what's supposed to be a secure browser sounds like honeypot shit.I use Brave on my phone and LibreWolf on my Linux laptop.
>>108984085Who gives a fuck, just debloat the OG Brave and use it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7VTWbFqySxg
What browser to use? Chromium?Shitfox is cucked and i doubt libre doing a big job about it.
>>108985029I'd say Librewolf for Gecko, but it lags behind with security updates.I'd say Helium for Chromium, but it's made by a random that will disappear one day.So yes, just use the base Chromium.
>>108984167Linchads stay winning
>>108984085Who exactly is going for a paypig when there are numerous alternatives that work well and are completely free?
>>108985046the Hurd cometh
Itt trannies still seething over brave
im just using chrome. is there a reason to switch off it?
>>108984167alpinegods, we won
Cool, Vivaldi is still the better Chromium browser.
I use Helium
>>108984085So shameless. I guess firefurries were right to get rid of Eich after all
>>108985606Vivaldi runs like dogshit
>>108984537>If anyone is actually thinking of doing this..Then, they need more life choices help than a promo code could possibly provide.
Thank fucking god ladybird is looking pretty usable already, as soon as it hits alpha I'm never looking back at the usual shit we have available currently
>>108984085Brave™ the Brave™ browser has always been fishy
Good thing I'm not a retard and use based true and real Vanadium. Enjoy getting your data prison raped, RETARDS
>>108984114>>108984978What the fuck are you talking about Origin doesn't strip anything out that you can't already just turn off if yo don't like it. Not downloading your malware.
So why should I buy this instead of picking any of the billion of other browsers (free) and install uBlock Origin (also free) on it?
>>108984537NO SAARS DO NOT REDEEM
>>108985552Brave has adblock stuff built-in and just werks.I run at least two browsers, one for my official shit and one for random browsing. I've set up ungoogled chromium with ublock origin and that's fine but brave is an easier setup with better performance for basic adblocking.The Brave Ads in question aren't intrustive at all. They are just three tiny icons on the address bar, that don't even appear when in private mode/incognito. The icons are for brave rewards, brave wallet, and Leo AI. And there's an option in the menu to "Open a new private window with Tor."Those don't bother me at all but I think it's perfectly reasonable to offer a paid version that's stripped of all revenue elements. I wish more ad/data-supported products offered reasonable paid options.
all crypto related dogshit should die
>>108986527Those aren't the brave ads dude. The built in adblocker actually blocks the brave search ads and all the ones on the new tab pages are opt in. Also you can hide all the toolbar icons by just right clicking on them, except the media indicator for some reason, which is annoying. I don't understand why browsers and even entire OSes have these media trays now, I never needed them before, only makes sense if you have something going in the background 24/7. Sounds awful.
>>108984085Imagine still falling for the Brave spyware meme. It's been rated high in spyware for a long time now. Do they think people forgot all the shady things they were doing to hijack urls and spy on their users by phoning home?
>>108984085Imagine using Brave and not switching to Librewolf immediately like most normal people have already done.
>>108986328Most based post ITT
>>108984085>without its extra featureslmao it says everything that needs to be said about these extra """features""" they mention if they know people will pay in order to have said """features""" removed
>>108986625That blog has acked itself multiple times and was always just an ad for pale moon until he personally beefed with the dev and now everything is high or very high except ungoogled chromium and librewolf despite librewolf making way more connections than ungoogled chromium, and also connections to number of unique domains being a phenomentally retarded metric in the fisrt place. I will stick to common sense, Brave downloads safe browsing data proxied without uploading anything that alone makes it one of the best.
>>108984137>Vivaldi>competent browserit's a buggy mess like Brave.Only Firefox (or Librewolf) and Chromium are worth using.
>>108986625Posting a screenshot of a digdeeper page to show Brave is bad is just as stupid as posting a privacyguides page to show Brave is good. You know github commits are public right? Click on usernames every now and then.
>>108984085Honestly, Brave is probably the best browser for iOS, mainly because of the adblock + it's basically just chromium, so I can see why it's so popular.Linux/Android/Windows should stick to FireFox (gecko) with UBO. Maybe Brave as backup.
>>108984085Do they accept BAT?
This is the first step. Expect some kind of subscription service in the near future.
>pay us for yet another chromium fork (but it has adblock built in!)uhhh no
>>108986921Why wouldn’t i use safari + ublock origin instead?
>>108987006You should be grateful, Firefox and Ladybird both jusr merged in Brave's adblocker.
>>108987022Safari has a bunch of extremely retarded behaviors that every other iOS browser tapes over. If you insist on going that route I'd recommend using AdGuard instead of uBlock (assuming you mean Lite, regular uBlock doesn't run on any version of Safari) as they have much longer history supporting Safari and much better coverage. Also, Firefox Focus can be used as an ad list for Safari, interestingly.
>>108987022safari cannot do background playback for youtube.ublock origin lite has limited filter lists. no bypass paywalls clean.
>>108987035only the paid version of adguard has the good filter lists.wblock is free and doesn't do this.https://github.com/0xCUB3/wBlock
>>108987022>Giving Apple every single detail of your life to be maintained and sold and eventually falling into the hands of hacker Why are normal cattle NPCs like this?
>>108987035I had adguard and switched to ublock (lite if you want to ahkshually). Can’t tell the difference outside of ublock being updated more frequently. I haven’t seen an ad in a long time.>Safari has a bunch of extremely retarded behaviors that every other iOS browser tapes overSuch as? Outside of kneecapping webapps due to app store rent seeking I haven’t really had any issues with safari on an iphone or an ipad. Admittedly those are consoomer devices rather than anything you’d use seriously. On a laptop I use firefox dev edition which i’ve been happy with for over a decade.
>>108986921>Brave is probably the best browser for iOS, mainly because of the adblock + it's basically just chromium>chromiumwrong, all ios browsers are safari reskins. no other browser engines are allowed on ios.
>>108987073As opposed to giving google every single detail of your life to be maintained and sold and eventually falling into the hands of hacker?It’s just a phone that I mostly use to take funny pics of my cat, sis. There’s nothing of value in my browsing habits.
So you pay to have less features? So it's clear that they are selling your userdata collected from these extra features.
>>108987110>sup goy you can pay to remove revenue generating features like vpn and ads>OMG IF YOU DONT PAY THEYRE MAKING MONEY OFF OF YOU!!!1What do you think revenue generating features means?

>>108987022>Why wouldn’t i use safari + ublock origin instead?I was mentioning iOS and you can't install Extensions on iOS, not even on FireFox(werks on android), so Brave is perfectly fine FOR iOS and possibly the post option.>>108987083>wrong, all ios browsers are safari reskins. no other browser engines are allowed on ios.Wrong, or only half of th truth. At least in the EU, Apple must allow non WebKit browser Engines.But yeah, if we talking about MacOS, just go with FireFox and UBO, lol.

>>108987300>you can't install Extensions on iOSwrong>At least in the EU, Apple must allow non WebKit browser Enginesalso wrong, alternative engines are a thing in japan iirc. eu mandated different app stores (that nobody uses) and asking which browser to use as default (everybody uses safari and all are forced to use the same engine). they also forced applel to stop fucking with wireless headphones across multiple devices but it isnt yet in effect i thinktldr retard>apparently i have both adblock and ublockwonder if that’s advisable
>>108987300>At least in the EU, Apple must allow non WebKit browser Engines.nope, there are several roadblocks which makes this not true in practice.https://github.com/mozilla/platform-tilt/issues/37so no one bothered to actually use a different engine.
>>108987350Have you tried wBlock?
>>108987350>>108987356Okay, okay. I kneel. Thanks for the citation. My friend just switched to Brave, because he couldn't install UBO in FireFox, I didn't even know extensions were a thing on Safari.And the Webkit fuckery sucks ass, I just read that 2 years ago they had to allow non webkit browsers, but if practically no one is pushing them on iOS, whats the point.
>>108987361Nah I was pretty happy with adblock and mostly grabbed ublock due to name familiarity. I think either of those is good enough, especially since I don’t use safari for anything serious
>>108987350>wonder if that’s advisableno, adguard's safari's extension adds like 20% background overhead, ublock origin lite like 10%. so you now have like 32% more.
>>108987073Based graphene enjoyer
>>108987372who the fuck pays for adblock? it's a very basic app last updated half a decade ago. only suckers would pay for it.

>>108987426I was like a dollar and I bought it ages ago, why are you so mad
>>108984085We need to ask ourselves is this niggerlicious or not ?
>>108987443it's worse than ubol.compared to all other safari ad blockers, only ubol auto-updates its filters since only ubol doesn't use safari's content blocker api but just bundles the filters in the extension itself.
