Brave Browser continues to behave in ways that are contrary to their stated principles. I dropped the browser a couple of months ago on the heels of the bitcoin affiliate link scandal and went back to Safari and Firefox.
I am keeping an eye on Braver Browser, a fork of Brave with the intention of removing the questionable behavior:

- monokh 6y agoI've also been keeping an eye on Braver. There was an initial flurry of work that seemed to have gotten it to a decent point but no activity since.
- smt88 6y agoWhat's the advantage of Braver over Firefox? Is it just that you're trying to get ad blocking on iOS?
- pschastain 6y agoI don't use IOS (yet) so "no" on that front. I tried Brave and was happy with it until these recent revelations, so upon hearing about Braver I simply decided to keep an eye on it.
- smt88 6y agoFirefox with gorhill's uBlock (search GitHub for official links, because there are imposters) is less buggy than Brave. I highly recommend it.
- meddlepal 6y agoThat's pretty much the only reason I use Brave. But also fuck Apple for forcing everyone to use WebKit.
- favorited 6y agoFirefox still doesn't have ergonomic pinch-to-zoom on macOS... There are experimental flags you can use to get it mostly working, but the gestures can end up triggering navigate-back or -forwards actions.
