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?

    you do know you not only don’t have to click the ads to get the BAT, but the devs actively recommend you don’t click them if you’re not interested in the product, right?

      I know you can get BAT from sponsored images without clicking. It’s been a long time since I used Brave. I did have to click ads when I used it. I was not aware that they changed that feature.
