Great news though I do think adblocking should be built into the browser, rather than left to extensions and 3rd party services. The internet should be taken back from AdTech agencies (Google, AdBuddy AKA Brave). Maybe add to the rumored pr

Strange how organic content not contaminated by the AdBuddy company (twitter flooded with their sponsor links and almost no real content) doesn’t even consider Brave as an option.

Why would anybody be interested in this? Content that depends on ad revenu especially written for it, is not worth consumption. The idea of solving a non existing problem is the problem with AdBuddy (AKA Brave). The way to go is ad and trac

Mozilla's focus is user's rights online and privacy. They have a track record doing that. Brave (AKA AdBuddy) is just another product, desperately looking for a revenue stream, notably believing contaminating all news regarding br

Environment protection tips from Forbes and WSJ. Great. Same goes for their “tech” coverage that’s pushed here on a regular basis for some reason.

I also moved off a MacBook to dell XPS but will probably not buy dell again. Customer service was shockingly bad compared to what you get from Apple. I mean really bad (bought in Switzerland). I was looking today at the HUAWEI Matebook X Pr

One of the best features of iOS currently is the reminder when an app has been tracking your location, asking if to continue allowing. Hope Cook trashed that “letter” and Apple will continue putting users first. Using a phone is not an excu

No sure. I get it. But the seriousness with which you attribute a for profit like brave a benevolent mission, as if. How many times do we need to go down the same road of talking about features vs what really counts: track record and who&#

ROFL. Especially the “a user agent being an agent of the user”. Who said surveillance capitalism has no sense of humor ...?

To keep in mind when wondering why Brave is so heavily promoted by some media outlets before Firefox, in particular when talking about user privacy online and pushback against surveillance capitalism.

Yet you'd trust Chrome which send everything to Google...? Or Brave, which is a for profit in search of a revenue stream? Why? Wasn't AdBlock a good enough lesson?

Brave’s zero market share would suggest to me that if it should be mentioned, it would be more of a side note. For years when dealing with Linux and free software the argument given by these type of publications was that they’re not worth m

Just the newspeak idea alone of "Basic Attention Tokens" ... makes me think of the dystopic "Maniac" and AdBuddy.

True. Though there’s nothing to suggest the a for profit like brave should be users’ first option in the fight for user privacy online... what’s their record? If anything this man in the middle concept is even worse because it creates an il

Isn’t it strange that an article that has a very specific title immediately changes the topic and starts promoting brave—a browser that practically nobody uses, and has a controversial business model—while there are companies like Mozilla,

Or simply count down from every speech he gives calling migrants and asylum seekers an invasion? The idea that this ugly primitive person can be a president despite everything known so far, is beyond belief.

I specifically indicated in my comment that colonialism in Algeria starting in 1830, and trust me, I didn’t need Wikipedia to find that out. So don’t try to distract. I’m talking about NG’s nonchalant style of writing.
