I’m not American. Their uniforms say police. Are ICE agents police? How do you recognize them? Do you have the same rights with police or ICE?

Did you just say this unironically?

Colour me shocked

Ban privacy invasive business practices instead of putting the burden on citizens to opt in/opt out. This is about rights of a European citizen not to be constantly under surveillance, not about consumers rights to sign away our rights in a contract.

Meanwhile, NYT: Israel does large scale attack on Gaza. Will the ceasefire hold?

How about regulation? Let’s start with saying data about me belongs to me, not to whoever collected the data, as is currently the case

Chelsea Manning tho. Only non-scummy instance I can think of right now

None of that affects the average user. I’m talking about the experience as a browser. No ads, popups, cookie walls, newsletter signup, none of that. Much better than I’ve seen with Firefox plugins. I don’t use their VPN or crypto, it doesn’t affect me at all. Crypto is always shady but it’s a choice to engage with that, and they do make it easy to avoid completely

Haha, that’s quite alright. I knew I wasn’t going to win a popularity contest here, I just enjoy Brave for what it does and I wish uBlock Origin was just as good

That doesn’t make it a bad product. I’ve never interacted with any of the crypto or donation stuff. You go into settings, click “no thanks” and are never bothered by any of that ever again. So no, these stories people repeat ad nauseam don’t take away anything from the product. Why don’t other people demand better from the alternatives? If there is one better than Brave at fighting popups and stuff, I’m all for it

I don’t know what that has to do with my question? I am not defending anything like that

I have more problems with uBlock Origin breaking the website. Also, it doesn’t block other elements such as cookie walls and news letter signup garbage.

Regardless of the CEO, Brave is a great product. The crypto stuff is easy to turn off. Fantastic ad blocking, rarely any problems. What is the best alternative with great ad blocking?

Fuck spez

Don’t preorder, what the hell are you people thinking?!

It’s good old “everything is now illegal” law, selective enforcement does the rest. Straight out of the young dictatorship handbook
