A chromium wrapper that inserts affiliate links? This doesn't seem a compelling argument based on available evidence.

- d3nj4l 6y agoYeah, I see all of these people implying Eich leaving was the "end" of Mozilla, but what Eich has been up to after Mozilla hasn't been amazing either.
- ShinTakuya 6y agoYeah Brave's business model always seemed incredibly scummy to me. For ad blocking arguments can be made both ways, but Brave's "let's replace them with our ads" model (I know it's opt-in) just seems like a way to hold site revenue hostage. Either join Brave's network or miss out. Vivaldi seems like the better Chromium wrapper to me. But my daily driver is Firefox.
- blacksmith_tb 6y agoFF is my daily driver too, but since Google properties increasingly only work reliably in Chromium, I use Brave for those (without opting in to BAT, which doesn't appeal to me). It's not bad, works fine on Ubuntu, built-in adblocking (but you can install uBo etc.)
