If you care about privacy, don’t use Brave

I assume this is going to be down voted by BAT holders but it needs to be said. Stop shilling this browser as a privacy tool just because you're invested in BAT. It likes to pretend to be privacy focused, and sure, it has privacy features other browsers don't, BUT if you actually care about privacy this is not the solution and is just a marketing gimmick.

People deserve the other side of the argument and not be led into something under false pretense because you're set to gain from it.

Just to scratch the surface, some of the cons:

​

• It's Chromium, it is dependent on Chrome. If you care even the slightest about privacy you should avoid anything Google as much as possible. Don't contribute to the Google monopoly and their mission to control the web and its users.
• Deceptive practices. They literally injected their own affiliate links into your searches. Typed in Binance.us to your browser? Well, they just added their affiliate link to it because you are an unwilling product. This was as recent as last year. Source
• They claim to block ads but they're actually making deals with Facebook, etc to whitelist their trackers and ads. Source
• Brave is an Ad company. You're a product.
• Leaks all your .onion URLs. Source
• CEO is homophobic and a Covid denier, etc.

If you're looking for a privacy focused browser, research Firefox and the various privacy focused extensions available.

If you want to make some free BAT, use Brave for porn only or something that doesn't expose you.
