    You can continue to cope or you can upgrade to a real browser.

      I already upgraded to Brave years ago. Thanks. And fuck Mozilla.

          Yeah, no. Too much disregard for the community and useless political crap, apart from hypocrisy on their fake anti-Google stance.

              Such an ignorant and bad faith statement I won’t even bother to reply.

                Brave is wrapped up in so much controversy it feels like you’re trolling that you called it a real browser. You’re trolling, right? Have fun with your brave sponsored ads and crypto bullshit. Also you’re still being lead by Google, but I guess that’s okay because it’s in a pretty wrapper.

                  Lol, as if Mozilla weren’t keep alive by Google’s money (which mainly come from ads, as well). Pathetic and laughable at once. Use what you prefer and stop bothering me.

                    You jumped into this conversation, friend.

                    Google does keep Mozilla alive, but it wouldn’t have to if it weren’t a monopoly. Since it does monopolize the market, it has to keep Mozilla alive or face monopoly busting action. The money Google makes comes from ads, but not the money Mozilla makes.

                    Also, unlike you, my browser isn’t directly controlled by Google’s every whim.

                They said in their reply.

                Are you for real? Everything you said reads like a tech bro caricature

                that article reads like if my 8 year old nephew read thru my tax return. But no matter how mozilla spend their money, Google are spending money their money on much more questionable and unethical things.

        Brave isn’t any better of an option with all the controversies they’ve had.

          If anything, they’re worse.

          1. Brave is an advertising company, that blocks everyone, but them. Forcing over people and companies into their system.
          2. They’re heavily in the blockchain ecosystem, with their own worthless crypto.
          3. They take from open source projects (uBlock, Chromium, etc), but threaten legal action when someone forks them.
          4. They install bloat/spyware on your Windows system (later claimed it was a mistake).
          5. Brave, and its CEO is right-wing, lobbying against things like same-sex marriage.

          I could go on.

            Don’t forget the worst most condescending people working for Brave. I actually had one of their people antagonize me on social media years ago for not liking their invasive homepage at the time.

            So like very other ad company.

            Forcing over people and companies into their system.

            [citation needed]

            1. The crypto stuff is opt-in.
            2. [citation needed] I’m talking about the legal action stuff. Fun fact, Gab made a Brave fork called Dissenter. Nothing happened to them.
            3. Yeah, Brave VPN is BS.
            4. About Brendan Eich, I can’t see nothing about his beliefs reflecting in his work. Looks like he kept them separated. Also he’s a co-founder of Mozilla. So if you’re not going to use Brave because of him. How can you use Firefox? About Brave lobbying against things like same-sex marriage. Will, [citation needed].

            If you need Chromium browser. Just use ungoogled-chromium, Windows version.
