When you launch Brave for the first time, it will push a lot of services like Brave News, Brave AI, their video call platform etc., all cloud services. Technically, they’re all open source, but I wouldn’t trust them. They have released a separate version, though, which keeps all this things disabled, which is paid on every platform except Linux builds.
Still, Brave is a whole lot better than Chrome, but I wouldn’t trust either.
The point I’m making, which you don’t have to validate, is that boycotting a free product because the CEO is some kind of shithead is pointless. The new CEO of Mozilla is most likely a different kind of shithead, but one who was better at covering their tracks. A bunch of the developers are probably shitheads, because there’s a proportion of shitheads everything.
Boycotting those products which were made by shitheads is impossible unless you boycott everything, besides being pointless. Boycotting only those products which were made by confirmed, publicised shitheads is arbitrary and so even more pointless.
Everyone is so pressed about an on device model they’re not gonna even use. Like, yeah, it’s annoying, they should have told us, and it’s 4gb that could be taken off of my hard drive, but it’s a distraction from all the real issues out there that are much bigger that no one is complaining about.
Yes, Google Chrome installs AI locally
without consentautomatically, Brave forces you to use their cloud services.… and Brave is also basically a marketing scam
Consent? What’s that, huh?
Do you know what consent is?
Can you tell me more about brave and what you mean?

Brave was created by an anti LGBT asshole
And an advertisement company
Do you know the stance of the Firefox (or other browser) creators on LGBT rights?
Yeah, Firefox fired the anti-lgbtq asshole when his donations came to light. So then he went and founded Brave.
So they fired one anti-LGBT person when he became high-profile (CEO). What about everyone else?

Well I hung out with Mitchell Baker and she seemed pretty chill.
I suspect if you hung out with Eich he’d “seem pretty chill”. Loads of awful people seem chill until the moment you find out what’s awful about them.
