I will admit to you that Brave historically had many problems with bad behavior: https://old.reddit.com/r/browsers/comments/1j1pq7b/list_of_brave_browser_controversies/ https://old.reddit.com/r/browsers/comments/1j1pq7b/list_of_b... The lobste.rs site has taken hostile speps towards Brave: https://lobste.rs/s/iopw1d/what_s_up_with_lobste_rs_blocking_brave https://lobste.rs/s/iopw1d/what_s_up_with_lobste_rs_blocking... Still, Brave does offer a few unique advantages. - it is equivalent to Chrome on sites that require it, and does not have the compatibility problems of Firefox - Ad block is built in - it is easily available if you are not running Play and GMS - it is a mature browser, where most everything works as expected - the bad aesthetic choices that have been introduced to Brave so far are easily undone No, it's not perfect, but there are use cases.

None of those seem like unique advantages. In fact, the only advantage there seems to be "Ad block is built in", which is still a dubious advantage at best.

  To you, perhaps.

    You could install Brave, or you could install adblock for the browser you're already using. It doesn't seem like much of an advantage for Brave to ship with adblock built-in, given that everybody already uses a web browser.

      So it might seem to you.

        Do you come on HN just to troll? Why even bother hitting the reply button if you don't have an actual reply to offer? If you enjoy HN, consider that if comments like yours were the norm, nobody would use this website and it would die.

        Why, do you? Perhaps quibbling over an upvoted comment is a pattern that tires me. You karma cumulative karma is around 120 if I read it correctly. Mine is 7356. I think I know how to turn a popular idiom.

        A second spent thinking about HN karma is one too many. >Perhaps quibbling over an upvoted comment is a pattern that tires me. You could just simply not reply if you think I'm not engaging in good faith, as opposed to actively sabotaging the forum with pointless trolling. What's the point?

        Because you are an interesting target.
