Brave essentially plays the advertisement business well.
They advertised with speed and privacy for the majority time while not providing anything more than a adblock build into the browser.<p>The browser is still very crypto based and comes with their own build in add service and crypto currency.<p>Only very recent they started to add some fingerprint protection, its still only a very small subset of fingerprinting but it potentially blocks some approaches of it.<p>There is still a big question mark about the browser, because the base building block of privacy is trust and Brave has many times showen that it might not a trustworthy company with issues that only got addressed after public outrages.
Out of genuine curiosity. What does brave do that’s so privacy focused and how is it better than Firefox on this front? Is it beating Firefox at the privacy pitch somehow?<p>Brave’s market share seems to be siphoning off Firefox users primarily more than Chrome’s…
Hmm, I can finally agree with the chant "Go, Brendan!"<p>Although, any Chromium browser helps cement Google's position as the one who writes the rules, so it is with mixed feelings. Why did Mozilla have to fire Brendan Eich, again?
