Hi. Not sure where to post this, hopefully it fits here. If you haven’t heard of Brave browser by now, it’s made by the ex-CEO of Mozilla, and is prided on being private, and integrates crypto/bitcoin.
I like the idea of crypto, and would like to get more into crypto/blockchain, but I’m not sure I can support brave, or it’s CEO. Do I swallow my pride and just use Brave? Would it be worth it, just for the privacy additions and crypto?
One reason I’m hesitant, is Firefox now has site-to-site cookie protection, whereas Brave does not. Mostly, I’m arguing with myself at this point, on whether to use Brave, and swallow my pride. Sure, as CEO of Mozilla, he made a bad political call. People can grow, right? Someone rebutted to me that Obama didn’t support gay marriage either, and neither did Hillary Clinton.
Sorry to harp on this topic so much. What would y’all do?
Sidenote: A breadtuber I really like uses brave, so Brave can’t be all that bad?
It’s an honest mistake and is mostly not a problem. Brave browser was never meant for privacy. Tor project always strongly recommended to use Tor Browser NOT ANY OTHER browser for accessing .onion, precisely because of such problems… this is the first thing people are told when they start to use Tor: don’t use any other browser than Tor browser or you’ll have plenty of leaks of all kinds.
