- lproven 6mo agoThen you haven't been listening, because it's been widely discussed and well publicised. My personal two favourite piece on Brave are these... 2023: « Stop using Brave Browser Seriously. Corbin Davenport 07 Aug 2023 » https://www.spacebar.news/stop-using-brave-browser/ https://www.spacebar.news/stop-using-brave-browser/ And from a couple of years later, with a very apt URL... 2025: « Why I recommend against Brave Luca Bramè March 24, 2025 » https://thelibre.news/no-really-dont-use-brave/ https://thelibre.news/no-really-dont-use-brave/
- coffeeling 6mo agoYou haven't heard about it because it is a lie. Brave has a tipping service that lets users tip creators with Brave's crypto coin, BAT. When they launched the tipping service, they put out a pool of their own BAT and let users tip with that BAT. Their initial UI for the tipping app was sadly bad, and didn't really properly show which creators were signed up for the program, which weren't. If the tips from the pool were given to someone not on the program, Brave would hold them assigned to that person for 30 days, then return them to the pool. No user's resources were affected. Tom Scott gave them some harsh criticism for the UI, and Brave improved it within a couple days, resolving Scott's complaints.
