- lkbm 11mo agoLooks like I'm getting a ProtonMail ad every few new tabs. I never noticed because I've never looked at the new tab page. Doesn't noticeably slow it down to have the ad there, luckily.
- thesuitonym 11mo agoSo, to reiterate: Brave is adware.
- cpburns2009 11mo agoThe new tab ads can be disabled with 2 clicks.
- thesuitonym 11mo agoI love how quickly the goalpost moves from "No ads" to "Only opt in ads" to "Ads can be disabled with two clicks." Quit coping and just admit it, Brave is adware. If you like it, that's cool, totally your choice. It's fast, performant adware. But it's adware all the same.
- cpburns2009 11mo agoFirefox has ads in the same places. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/sponsor-privacy https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/sponsor-privacy
- thesuitonym 11mo agowhataboutism gets you nowhere. Brave is still adware.
- cpburns2009 11mo agoIt's strange you're so adamant to label Brave adware while dismissing concerns that Firefox engages in very similar "adware" practices.
- DaSHacka 11mo agoAs is Firefox, and Chrome. So really, there's no point in singling it out.
- bamboozled 11mo agoIt might be adware but I’ve actually never noticed the ads! Also it’s the only browser on my phone that I can use to browse the web without ads…
- Dylan16807 11mo agoWhen we're talking about reasons to switch browsers, then saying they both have the same behavior is not whataboutism. It's extremely important context to the complaint.
