I don’t know if I am missing a point or not but I don’t exactly quiet get the hype as to me, it just chrome with poor man’s uBlock Origin and their own crypto in the mix.
Like how it that different from me using ether Librewolf or even Google Chromium and install uBlock Origin compare to Brave?
Yes.
Brave Software’s CEO is Brendan Eich https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brendan_Eich
Eich resigned from Mozilla in 2014 after it turned out that he’d made political donations against California’s same-sex marriage equality bill. Since then, he’s got press for being some kind of COVID denialist https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/22/business/brave-brendan-eich-covid-19.html
So, as well as the crypto bullshit and advertising cooperation that others mentioned, company’s run by a shitlord.
