- charcircuit 8mo agoWith Brave you can have ad blocking built into the browser itself and not have to depend on a third party developer.
- eqvinox 8mo agoThe first party developer in case of Brave is arguably worse than most 3rd party developers elsewhere.
- eipi10_hn 8mo agoAnd Brave's built-in blocker uses uBO's and other lists, including allowing trusted filters (which can inject high risk scripts into your sites) automatically. So yes, you are using 3rd party scripts already, and no, they can't monitor all of the commits from all those lists.
- blibble 8mo agoI would argue that third party developer is more reliable and trustworthy than both Brave and Mozilla
- pessimizer 8mo ago> only truly independent browser Only truly independent browser engine left. Firefox is entirely independent on google, but unlike its competitors this dependency is through direct cash payments.
- Sabinus 8mo agoPerhaps the Europeans will end up funding Firefox to get away from American corporate tech dependency. Firefox has tried valiantly to get away from Google money but it's difficult to fund browser development from small donations or without cross-subsidies from other business, like web advertising.
