    Oh no! The browser that forked the browser that a browser made by the largest ad vendor in the world is based on in order to be able to serve different ads is legally threatening a browser that forked it in order to remove said ads?

    Did I get this right?

      The brave people have always seemed kind of scummy to me. This just reinforces it

    Brave sucks in general. It’s has too much bullshit built in. Yes you can disable it but easier to just use a better browser.

    It was made by a free speech company that supported neo-nazis and white supremacists. They also wanted to replace the coin system.

    In April 2019, Dissenter was removed from the Firefox Add-ons website and the Chrome Web Store for violation of their policies that causes the creation of the Dissenter web browser.

    Brave never threatened anyone.

      This isnt the Dissenter fork, it is a different fork called “Braver”.

        It is the same story because the same alt-right people are behind. It also makes no sense to 2 man maintain a browser Vs. an entire Team.

        If you want the name trademak story, here it is

        They forked it without any change, absolute useless.
