Brave Browser is hijacking links and inserting affiliate codes
- throwaway888abc 6y agoPrevious discussion - few hours ago https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23442027 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23442027 P.S. One would wonder, what's next on roadmap - monetizing Brave user base as bot net ?
- loraa 6y agoBrave had great potential, but with most companies they need to find a way to profit. It's unfortunate that they were not up front and instead had options in which you can opt out. I am sure people would support Brave if they were more upfront and ethical about what they were doing. Of course I'm only going to do me and not try to force my opinion, but I am going to uninstall it as doublespeak and then trying to cover your own ass only means for a future of more of the same. It was a cool concept, but anything tied to profit and making people rich always has some trade off.
