I will never understand the hype behind Brave. Why would I watch ads that give Brave a cut of the money, instead of watching ads that actually benefit the content I'm looking at?
- dbsmith83 4y agoOr a browser which forces you to update whether you want to or not
- shp0ngle 4y agoTheir ads are supposedly more privacy preserving, and also have some crypto mumbo jumbo involved
- TylerE 4y agoBecause only one gets them VC money from crypto fomo.

- 411111111111111 4y agoThat's not factual. Neither Firefox nor Safari are based on chromium. There are a lot of forks though, i.e. Brave, Vivaldi, Opera and Edge
- Dalewyn 4y agoI said 99%. Safari is artificially pegged to iOS marketshare, it would cease to remain relevant if/when Apple's gatekeeping is relinquished. FireChrome is irrelevant so long as Mozilla is in charge, and its forks are even further irrelevant. The rest of the browser world is Chrome through and through.
- TylerE 4y agoSafari has 17% of the global browser market.
- Kbelicius 4y agoDoesn't mean it isn't artificially pegged to iOS.
- TylerE 4y agoIf horses had stripes they'd be zebras. Don't know what sort of good faith argument you're trying to make.
- Dalewyn 4y agoSafari's marketshare has nothing to do with its own merits.
- CyberDildonics 4y agoThat has nothing to do with what you said earlier. You said: don't realize 99% of browsers out there are all just Chromium This isn't true, I don't know what you trying to say now.
- Kbelicius 4y agoI wasn't making an argument. You posted safaris global share that GP already covered and I kindly pointed it out... what argument were you trying to make?
- toastal 4y agoAnd Ladybird has been cooking in the alternate browser space recently
- LopovJack 4y agoMany use it as a stable Chromium build that is not Google Chrome and turn off all Brave features. There is no alternative that blocks ads and syncs on all platforms.
- Kbelicius 4y agoOn which platforms you can't get firefox or did you mean chromium specifically?
- 6bb32646d83d 4y agoI use Brave because it runs on all my devices, block ads by default and it's sync feature works great. I don't really touch any of their BAT features
- rejectfinite 4y agoOSS Chromeium browser + builtin adblock Its for when you need chrome but dont want chrome
- MisterSandman 4y agoI've never understood the built-in adblock argument, it takes like 30 seconds to download uBlock origin (which I personally trust more anyway).
