Brave sounded interesting until I saw this at the bottom of the landing page: "Brave makes money by taking 5% of any donations and -- after it is fully implemented -- a small cut of advertising that is placed. Brave even shares some revenue with you -- at least as much as we receive." Then there's this: https://brave.com/about-ad-replacement/ https://brave.com/about-ad-replacement/ If they are planning to inject ads into the browser and somehow pay their users a kickback, how do they expect to maintain a reputation as a privacy focused project? Even if they offer to pay in cryptocurrency, they are still tying browsing habits and targeted advertisements to a trackable user. No thanks. I had switched from Chromium back to Firefox after Google was caught injecting binary blobs into Chromium at build time[1], and so last year when I decided to drop all Google products from my life, I already had a great (if slow) browser making it less of a hurdle. Now, though, I think I'll stick with Safari on my phone and Mac, and find a way to sync bookmarks from Safari to Midori on my other systems.
