Brave's good but since it's a wrapper around Chromium, you're still supporting Google control over the Web.

- sneak 8y agoThis sort of reasoning is fallacious. Use of Chrome’s renderer is not specifically advantageous to Google until/unless they attempt to leverage it to break web standards, which is not their general policy (Widevine concessions to content creators notwithstanding), just as use of WebKit is not specifically advantageous to Apple, nor is Node’s use of v8, et c. Fact is, Brave is, as I understand it, a system that intends to pay a user to see ads (via replacement) - although they may have pivoted (again?) away from that. It’s not an anti-tracking or anti-advertising effort.
