Brave is a Chromium-based browser that promises to deliver privacy with built-in ad-blocking and content-blocking protection. It also offers several quality-of-life features and services, like a VPN and Tor access. I mean, it’s even listed on the reputable PrivacyTools website. Why am I telling you to steer clear of this browser, then?

    The CEO of brave is a homophobic bigot if that helps push anyone over the edge for changing their browser. It was the last straw for me.

      God damnit.

      Every browser I switched to since Firefox has been a good user experience, and then I find out some horrible bullshit.

      Is there any safe browser that isn’t run by hateful assholes?

          Might give this a crack. Been waiting on Ladybird to come to PC.

          Edit: OK it really doesn’t work well with bitwarden on mobile. Normal FF works fine but not this one.

          Edit2: ended up installing bitwarden add-on in the app and that resolved the issue of the phone level app not working.
